America’s Most Popular Autism Therapy May Not Work — and May Seriously Harm Patients’ Mental Health

Applied behavior analysis has long been considered the gold standard. Now, people who have been through it are pushing back.

"Based on data gleaned from the nearly 10 million military dependents it insures, the U.S. Department of Defense has repeatedly called the evidence supporting ABA “weak,” noting there is no research to determine whether the small number of participants who show improvement — 15% — do so because of treatment or simply because a child has matured. After a year of the therapy, the department reported to Congress in 2019, 76% of 16,000 participating autistic children saw no change, and 9% worsened."

Did it

I was being cancelled because apparently it was classist to put feathers on dinosaurs.

Both dream me and irl me were very confused.

The proto-coluans were not the apex preditors of their ecosystem they were lil herbivore monkeys who had be clever to not get eaten and they slowly used their smarts and tools to hunt all the big scary apex preditors on their planet to extinction and domesticated a bunch of rodents in the process. And some of their fellow monkeys

I forgot about transformers rescue bots until one day, I remembered the ghost sightings episode and specifically the scene where kade is by the cliff and meets the ghost lady. I wish there was a later follow-up episode that revealed that the ghost lady exists, and I want Graham to have a mental breakdown due to not understanding how she functions without food, and cody discovers that she's been causing blackouts because she takes the electricity, and it turns out she uses energy transference to eat via getting in the way of it, and they end up making a deal with her to visit her once a week to chat, and Graham tries to figure out how to recreate her powers so he can do electrical work easier, but Cody figures it out and Graham just had to deal with his younger brother being better at alien/supernatural tech than he is

My last few posts haven't had any attention at all, really. And that's been bugging me, especially since my last few posts have all been vent posts. In any case, I certainly hope people are seeing the posts. I don't really want to learn that i've been posting to empty air. Especially not when it's about such complicated things as my existential feelings regarding being on tumblr for four years (and slowly beginning to lose a hyperfixation). So my vent posts have been pretty heavy. I hope somebody sees them. Because if they don't, my paranoia means i'm probably just gonna keep reposting them until someone notices (and thereby validates my feelings). So yeah. I don't really know how to end this post now, but I guess i'm just gonna end it here for now. sigh...

OUT OF TOUCH THURSDAY

A headcanon of mine: Chase (police car) definitely has cybertronian autism. There's no way in my mind he doesn't
