ABA is abuse, and people who are subject to it have significantly higher rates of anxiety and other problems later in life

That sounds stupid, but do you think he hates them because he disagrees with and mischaracterized that? Ive seen the COVxy/joel disputes before and its always COVxy trying to explain that we cant treat all autistic people as if theyre just quirky while joel says hes wrong and that he hates autistic people without any actual coherent thought.

Sorry if I was unclear. averagejoel has described behavioral therapy as torture before. Not COVxy.

He's referring to joel in that post, not me.
Oh my bad. That makes a lot more sense.

Are you actually going to elaborate or do you expect us to take you at your word when hes explaining himself fully?

Autism Speaks is not a reliable source on this. helping autistic people is not their goal

ABA therapy is basically the standard for treating autistic children, in regard to developmental delays and social skills.

If you are someone who thinks autistic people should just be accepted as-is and don't need treatment, then I suppose you would think of it as abusive.

Yeah AS primarily looks out for the parents of autistic people rather than the autistic people themselves. Theyre more of a how to make an autistic person less of a hassle mindset than how to improve autistic lives.

and for the record, I never said that ABA was "torture", though it was invented by a eugenicist and involved heavy use of electroshock therapy.

it certainly is abusive though, even without the electroshock therapy part.

this page has some useful information on it

Wasn't using them as a source per se, more like asking if that is what ABA was. I'm not in the field or in the know, so for me ABA is American Basketball Association. And when I googled it American Bar Association were most of my search results. Googling ABA Autism is what lead to this as the first result.

This seems to imply that everyone on the AS is of a comparable mental age, unless you would like to clarify.


That's exactly what that implies

Idk why people act confused by the baffled responses to it. We're fully aware it's a spectrum disorder; that's kinda the issue with the statement in the first place

Bruh. Frankie is fucking hilarious. Sure, he's become a meme of himself but it's still amazing. He was always looking out for me and letting me know when Halifax was gonna get smoked so I could stock up on my doritos, pepsi, and chinese food.

I didn't read what they wrote on it, and I don't care to. I do, however, highly recommend the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, which I linked in post 62

No, my statement was simply saying that interacting with people with autism that are more severely developmentally disabled in a way that matches their "mental age" is not infantalizing, despite their literal age.

I read what I could on ASAN site, but nothing specific was highlighted. Most I saw was just them saying they were against it.

If I wee you I'd at least glance over what AS said, even if to just familiarize yourself with what people you disagree with are saying. It would greatly help you combat their words if you know them and can break them down before they are implemented by others.

it doesn't need to highlight specifics. it has a very succinct summary of what it does:

ABA uses rewards and punishments to train autistic people to act non-autistic.

ABA takes different forms, but ultimately that statement applies to all of them.

Are you upset that people are being nice to someone? I went to his youtube. He does his report and you have a few people saying thank you Frankie for the update. You know how much mean stuff is on the internet. And you are off put by people being nice.

Yeah I mean I watched that video and I don't see why anyone would want to. But I agree with this, it doesn't bother me that other people enjoy it
