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."

Imagine dinos squad, but accurate dinosaurs. Would it be better if dr veloci was normal size for a velociraptor, or had gigantism?

Or if ms. Moynihan had some health complication that meant that she couldn’t fight veloci without it taking a toll on her, so she pretended to be on his side for a while to bide herself time?

what if they hunted together (or dino dated) and that’s one of the reasons he didn’t hunt her down earlier. As in, he felt too guilty to use her as an experiment early on in his science thing, and he is too conflicted about it, so she got away, and he didn’t use her dna to make a dino army

imagine a role swap au, veloci being the teacher/ kind of parent figure to the squad, and ms Moynihan is the evil scientist.

AU text post dino squad victor veloci Ms Moynihan i saw a post about veloci getting tazed and returning to instinct dino form. Love the idea What if either of them had a micro raptor adopted child? She’d bring them insects Veloci would probably treat them like a bird or dog

art digital art oc art oc ocs lego dc super villains She made the costume herself She has a crocodile tail And sharp teeth still working on her out of costume design I’m not the best at drawing human and even worse at hair especial if it’s short and spiky dc supervillains ‘Crocodile’ character She makes people commit to the bit with her as she does crime She’s terrified of small children She’ll still will go out of her way to make sure they’re not hurt or too stressed whilst doing crime The costume is acid resistant she doesn’t have that power She’s just that skilled of a sewer How do u spell the plural of that?

Character Design tips when creating a Hijabi Muslim OC

Note: Sleeves or a head appearing is okay IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. Like working in a garden and rolling up your sleeves OR going to the hair salon OR checking up in a hospital. In other Mazhab or fiqh, it's much more lenient and it's okay to show ankles or neck. (depends on country or Mazhab)

Note: Camel Hump hijab in certain tafsir could mean a haughty attitude rather than the camel hump shaped hijab, but there are also others that take it literally too, so it depends on the person.
