I never expected my post about Scottish independence to blow up, thank you so much! Also please don't ask me in my askbox just to harass me, if you do then I'm going to report you.

I may post more stuff like this in the future so please keep an eye out!

Also, the dragon army has arrived to fight for Scotland, come on everybody join me!

Hey! This may be weird but I wanted to ask a personal question but I saw you around the ABA tag and wanted to ask about your experience. If this is too personal or Much to answer publicly don’t feel any pressure to answer, my dms are open, or answering this privately is more than enough. Im ND with an undiagnosed learning disability and have suspected for a long time i’m autistic. Last summer I started working as an RBT in small small town midwest america. Last night I wanted to look up more online resources on reddit and was surprised by the amount of hate and loathing I saw about ABA. I’m not here to discredit those experiences that being said it was very surprising since as a queer ND i have never experienced a more accepting and genuinely caring community around me then when I started working with my coworkers. I didn’t think a space like this could exist in my town. As well as the information I was fed during training that many others have papers that contradict.

I’ve seen a lot of claims from peoples personal experiences, and I think ABA has changed a lot in the last few decades. and it is highly dependent on the center and technicians/BCBA’s you get. But because of what I’ve seen from the autistic community online I want to see a wide variety of experiences. Especially as this is an ethical dilemma I take very seriously. Would you be willing to detail what your personal experience with ABA Therapy was?

If you need specific questions prompting or an idea of what I am searching for; how old were you when you started? What did you work on? what was your experience with your technicians? Did you meet others who were in ABA and what was that like if so? Were there things that harmed you? What were the things you feel like helped you? Do you feel manipulated in any way from your experience?

Thank you for taking the time to read this whether or not you respond, I have never been ride or die for this field as a job sinceit can be taxing to work with younger children as my current position does. and that has always made me wary of keeping my job; that being said recently I have been considering working with a focus on older autistic kids as I feel like I could really connect and make a good difference in their lives as someone who can at least partially relate. That being said if there is a different or better job to do that through i’d rather start researching now rather than later and would like to improve my current work as much as I can before/if I decide to jump boat without it threatening my future.

I think I was about 2 and a half when I started. I don't remember a lot from my ABA therapy because I was very little back then. I don't know if I got trauma or not,but I turned out ok in the end! I have bad short term memory so writing stuff down and using a timer helps me remember some stuff. Also yes do more research about ABA and stuff if you want to get a job in this department.

Thanks for asking!

Brazilians are free to come to my blog and Tumblr. We will welcome you with open arms!
