ABA is abuse... right? [CC]

As much as we autists like to see the world to be clear black and white, everything has some nuance. So let's talk about every piece of ABA (including an analysis of "dog training for humans" by an actual service dog trainer) My original ABA video - https://youtu.be/wf_iayU1xKw Note: This video is several years old. Disability conversations and scientific information are constantly evolving, so older videos may contain information or thoughts that have been reevaluated since their original posting date (and/or may have been outdated at the time and I still had things to learn). I am slowly working to re-make older somewhat out-of-date videos, this may be one of them, but please watch with this in mind! Also please note that I made this pre-transition, I use they/them pronouns now :) ------------------ If you want to support me financially - https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sydneyzarlengo Or get exclusive perks & content on Patreon! - patreon.com/SydneyZarlengo Find me on Insta and TikTok - @disabled.autistic.lesbian Request a video idea - https://forms.gle/TW5HAeZLmGLWNYwK7 Request a media review - https://forms.gle/rji1Hnw34ypSzA6cA Check out my undergrad work - https://www.disabledautisticlesbian.com/curious-incident Sources & further resources - A guide to finding an ABA therapist (if you must) - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdn_HvDrPdI/ The lovelies who I'm compiling from (please go follow!!): @neurodivergentactivist - https://www.instagram.com/neurodivergentactivist/ @fidgets.and.fries - https://www.instagram.com/fidgets.and.fries/ @nigh.functioning.autism - https://www.instagram.com/nigh.functioning.autism/ @nd.narratives - https://www.instagram.com/nd.narratives/ @joyfjohnson - https://www.instagram.com/joyfjohnson/ @autie.analyst - https://www.instagram.com/autie.analyst/ @autisminblack - https://www.instagram.com/autisminblack/ @auteachofficial - https://www.instagram.com/auteachofficial/ "Does ABA Work" Studies: 1 - https://www.cochrane.org/CD009260/BEHAV_early-intensive-behavioral-intervention-eibi-increasing-functional-behaviors-and-skills-young 2 - https://therapistndc.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Annual-Report-on-Autism-Care-Demonstration-Program-for-FY-2020.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2VRj3ygZ4nfVsgMY4UNFXn6hxB9kuEGxSlWfx9uwaItEhfsz_NmquhtFo Other Sources: An overview - https://a4aontario.com/2018/05/24/why-we-oppose-aba-in-any-form/ Evidence for increased PTSD - https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/AIA-08-2017-0016/full/html Interview with a dog trainer - https://neuroclastic.com/2019/03/27/is-aba-really-dog-training-for-children-a-professional-dog-trainer-weighs-in/ Human Rights initiative - https://a4aontario.com/2018/10/12/our-report-to-the-un-human-rights-for-autistics-in-ontario/ Surveying autistic people https://autisticnotweird.com/2018survey/ Autisticats - https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.instagram.com/the.autisticats/?hl%3Den&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1616618795193000&usg=AOvVaw2A1ZCNf5Qx-neFOXHXWkbr
