Educators…there is a moral imperative to dig deeper into the complex issues surrounding the #ABA debate. ALL educators in #onted have used, been trained in or told to implement practices that are based on principles of ABA; since 2007 it has been embedded in ppm 140. #ABAisAbuse
If professionals refuse 2 engage in critical thinking, refuse 2 become experts @ the thing they treat, continue practicing out of scope & continue ignoring pertinent research, the future of #Autism & other conditions #ABA professes 2 treat is very bleak. https://t.co/U2lJAwsZfh
@mmysticrainbow Not maybe. 100% lots of research showing that lack of understanding, discrimination, stigma, gaslighting, impact of having to mask and suppress our authentic ways of being all have a cumulative impact throughout our lifetimes. High masking Autistic women especially at high risk
@DrNeilStone Oh, and heads up in case you are seeking to be an ally and the Xweet was indeed a misstep, ‘crazy’ is an ableist slur. Try rethinking your language use and leveraging your power and privilege to amplify Autistic and otherwise Neurodivergent perspectives.

@DrNeilStone For what purpose? To rid the planet of those of us who are Autistic? Sounds like #Eugenics@DrNeilStone
Is that something you support?
There would likely be no internet, no NASA, no vaccines(ironically), no transportation, no telecommunications, etc., without Autistics
@stonedape5326@DrNeilStone@KalliopeLB Hmmmm then picking the idiot who did it unethically before is likely not the best investment in this investigation.. https://t.co/pmFkTTy9M4
Looking forward to leading 2 engaging and authentically informed sessions for @DDSBSchools educators/support staff on Monday. The endless demand for registration has been affirming—if you did not secure a spot, know that we see you & appreciate you. Stay tuned for other PD!
going to the autistic community for guidance rather than this compliance-based BS?! Celebrating differences can't happen when you're using a therapy that is trying to CHANGE your child.

I FIND IT SHOCKING (PUN INTENDED), THAT ANY PARENT WOULD WILLINGLY CHOOSE IT FOR THEIR CHILD. Instead of trying to normalize your child, who already has their own perfect way of viewing and navigating the world to begin with, how about
@KarenAnnTimm@monadelahooke Yes there is! The results state that ABA is damaging in one out of every three cases, and due to that, there will be a debate soon and places like Amsterdam and Den Haag have decided to cease the usage of ABA. In short? We���re getting results! 👍
Ok folx, please have at it. #AskingAutistics what do you think about today’s launch of the #CanadianNationalAutismStrategy
Comparative analyses, critical feedback and guttural responses all encouraged.
Now the real work begins. https://t.co/51JiFEV3qt
