I wish I knew for sure if I experienced ABA or not.

I have flashes of memory of “therapy sessions” after my autism diagnosis, but I can’t say what they actually did or intended to do. I know it wasn’t the “40 hours a week” normal ABA stuff. At least I don’t think so. I don’t remember but probably not. And some say it has to be that intensive to be ABA.

I even think about this because the first “real” therapist I ever saw I was so uncomfortable/scared around and I genuinely wonder if I had past bad experiences. Given that they were literally trying to change certain parts of my autism. But maybe they changed it gently. I don’t remember.

Also also I have other evidence both for and against.

I’ll probably never get confirmation so I just won’t talk about it.

It would be nice to see where some of my negative feelings about psychiatry genuinely originated.

Not sure why I need that information though.

Well psychiatric trauma definitely isn't limited to ABA therapy, and lots of people are traumatized just as badly during other kinds of psychiatric interventions. So you don't have to be able to confidently conclude that your childhood therapy was ABA therapy to be able to say that it was harmful and that it traumatized you.

For anon: ABA methods are often used outside of the intensive day-job-like sessions prescribed as interventions. You likely did experience ABA, as it is one of the primary therapies recommended for autistic kids and teens who express their traits in ways that are not neurotypically expected or acceptable.

Even if you didn't experience what most others would recognize as ABA, you can still have experienced therapeutic and psychiatric abuse. The power dynamic and refusal to listen to a person's desires for treatment and needs for fulfilling that goal creates the horrific space for great harm, which most therapists are not trained to notice or care about. Like Kat said, psychiatric abuse occurs regardless of methodology.

I hope you can get to a point where you can talk openly about your experiences, whatever you do remember, and that you will be listened to. And even if you never decide to, I hope you know that, regardless of the origin point, being critical of psychiatry is legitimate and necessary.

Level 1: Asylums are scary because there's crazy people there.

Level 2: We shouldn't treat mental health facilities as objects of horror because it stigmatises mental illness.

Level 3: Asylums are scary because there's psychiatrists there.

years ago i got into so many arguments saying diagnosis itself isn't a privilege. it can be a manifestation of other privileges (e.g. rich, white, educated, country of residence) but by itself it is just one aspect of a larger system and what you really want is proper healthcare, which is not the same thing as a diagnosis. also be real. no aspect of being disabled - an oppressed class - is a privilege. and i was right

#i'll have to sit and digest this one #but i do think i agree #what is the point of diagnosis if not to receive care #can diagnosis ever be solely about community with those of the same diagnosis?#does diagnosis grant assurance without the pressure of ableism?

Tooth fairy but for your permanent adult teeth! Inspired by my dentist telling me I can’t have energy drinks because their acidity is turning my mouth into a nuclear war zone.

There is no true self. We're all just metaphors.

repotting

Like we're always just trying to translate and interpret ourselves, for ourselves and for others, we're constantly narrativizing in totally contradictory ways. We're too complex, and any encapsulation simplifies to the point of total falsehood. The map can't be the territory, so every explanation is billions of lies of omission. Contradictory narratives are both true and false, perspectives and contexts shift even if the facts themselves don't blur and fade over time as usually happens.

You're too big to have a "true self". A true self is too small to contain you.

Fellow white people did you know there's this cool youtube hack where you go out of your way to watch videos made by Black people. And suddenly your video recommendations will have loads of cool new channels. And then you realise youtube was literally hiding videos made by Black people from you because they assumed you wouldn't be interested

things that don't make you human:

empathy

love

intelligence

romance

friendship

art

things that do make you human:

belonging to the species Homo sapiens

defining humanity by the things we do or feel rather than what we are is always going to exclude someone. maybe someone you care about. not all humans love, not all humans have or want partners or friends, not all humans are nice, not all humans feel empathy or remorse, not all humans make art, not all humans will make sense to you. they're still human. they're still human. they're still human.

(and if they're not human? they're not! (this post is inclusive to alterhuman and otherwise non-human beings!!!!!!!))

Cognitively disabled people deserve gender access to affirming care.

Psychiatrically disabled people deserve access to gender affirming care.

Physically disabled people deserve access to gender affirming care.

Being disabled doesn't erase the possibility of being trans, having dysphoria and/or wanting to pursue a medical transition.
