The rewards and punishments consist of various things including putting hot sauce in a child’s mouth, taking away special interests, not giving breaks, not giving the child food or water, pushing down the child hands to make them stop flapping, threatening to take away television, threatening to take away toys, telling the child they are being bad, disrespectful and rude just to make the child stop doing natural behaviors that autistic people need to self regulate. These actions not only harm the child in the moment but leave physical, emotional, and psychological scars.

The reward and punishment process leaves the child fearful of partaking in natural stimming and behaviors which are essential for self regulation and overall comfort of the child. An autistic child not being allowed to self regulate leaves the child more likely to meltdown and “act out” though the child is fearful to meltdown because of the punishments inflicted upon them through aba.

ABA leaves children with PTSD and any therapy or method leaving childrenwith post traumatic stress is completely unethical. Any therapy that harms the child, is forced upon a child, and is 100% in the hands of a therapist is abusive. 

100% compliance especially for an autistic kid leads the child to believe whatever the therapist says. It leads the child to believe that they can’t say no, that they have to listen to everyone else, and that they have something wrong with them which is the completely untrue.

ABA is child abuse and takes away natural behaviors for the benefit of parents of autistic children. ABA is not ever ok.

“Let’s be cute together!”

The cycle of the Earth (indeed, the universe, if the truth had been known) was nearing its end and the human race had at last ceased to take itself seriously. Having inherited millennia of scientific and technological knowledge it used this knowledge to indulge its richest fantasies to play immense imaginative games, to relax and create beautiful monstrosities. After all, there was little else left to do. An earlier age might have been horrified at what it would have judged a waste of resources, an appalling extravagance in the uses to which materials and energies were put. An earlier age would have seen the inhabitants of this world as “decadent” or “amoral,” to say the least. But even if these inhabitants were not conscious of the fact that they lived at the end of time some unconscious knowledge informed their attitudes and made them lose interest in ideals, creeds, philosophies and the conflicts to which such things give rise. They found pleasure in paradox, aesthetics and baroque wit; if they had a philosophy, then it was a philosophy of taste, of sensuality. Most of the old emotions had atrophied, meant little to them. They had rivalry without jealousy, affection without lust, malice without rage, kindness without pity. Their schemes — often grandiose and perverse — were pursued without obsession and left uncompleted without regret, for death was rare and life might cease only when Earth herself died.
