ABAers conspiracy theorising again. They so dislike the idea that $10bn+ ABA Autism industry should look into when and why ABA, ie rewards and aversives to change external behaviours (eg planned ignoring, withholding loved things until compliance) harms. #ALTautism #ABA #Autism

UK #ABA lobby and Board member of UK Society of Behaviour Analysts (Jamcc1) operates with TC and ADW and all use underhand tactics to grow, spread anti-neurodiversity propoganda and silence all other autistics. @prof_standards #ALTautism #HumanRights #Neurodiversity #TodayInABA

Here's some more #altautism. Look at the responses to Dr. Whiteley's tweet from Jill Escher of the "severe" autism lobby and Katie Wright, anti-vaxxer daughter of the founders of Autism Speaks. Greta isn't "real" autism because Swedish folk aren't vaccine-injured? @altautism

Greta Thunberg became a climate activist not in spite of her autism, but because of it https://t.co/DApxMcIpUl (and no mention of the misnomer that is 'neurotypical')

Journalist who knowingly platforms a white supremacist resorts to the #AltAutism optics of "I'm just a nice guy trying to have a civilized debate" retaliates against professor with 4chan neoreactionary tactics.

Ridiculous rant by @laura_greenaura of @michiganstateu's @msucomartsci. Prof. Dilley disagrees with my critique of the neurodiversity movement, but instead of having a civilised debate, she tries to discredit me and calls me a bigot. Childish, unprofessional conduct

Calling out #AltAutism in behaviourist who makes smarmy remark insinuating autistics are not truly bothered by abrasive sensory input.

James Todd appears to believe lighting has nothing to do with autistic comfort levels based on a "study" on four children. Conclusion based on stimming frequency of four children. Males. You know that's not sound research design, right, Todd? Anecdotal. @RetractionWatch look here

Another excellent read. This article addresses anti-neurodiversity spiel and misinformation put out there again and again by the usual dark webby culprit and pals. #AltAutism #DarkWebby #ABA #SevereAutism #Neurodiversity

@autistics4aba have you looked at Abbie and how her Fathering Autism family and therapist use ABA on her? Do you think this has helped or hindered Abbie and her family? Can you really not see in any way at all how Abbie’s ABA is harmful??? #AltAutism #ABAharms #Autism #ABA

A plea. Familly has fallen for ABA marketing opportunity $$$!) They have never once in all these years talked about Abbie’s mental health, or given this girl who understands so much a means of communication or understanding. Unnecessary mistreatment. So upsetting. #AltAutism

abaukdiscussion's tweet photo. A plea.

#AltAutism Usual Suspects tell the same lies every day on Twitter. They publish an article and then share and react to it. Every day. They have the same fundamental conversations with each other on Twitter every day. This is not pro-social behaviour. Do they need #ABA?

#AltAutism @JillEscher's blog: "Pretending autism is just a difference instead of an incapacitating disability allows for de-funding of precious social programs, and ultimately the abandonment of our severely disabled." Of course, the article takes a hit at "pro-neurodiversity"

This is a consequence of the whole "mild autism" myths pushed by #AltAutism. Do not mistake motor and speech ability for being less autistic. Doing so is murder. Trying to bring back #Aspergers is pushing a myth that autistic people with speech aren't fully #ActuallyAutistic.

“In his note, the 28-year-old, who was diagnosed with autism & depression, wrote that he was no longer able to pay rent or afford food after his benefits were halted, & he feared he would end up living on the street.” Why did this happen @theresecoffey? https://t.co/OC8BvE4uX1
