I am a disillusioned BCBA: Autistics are right about ABA

Wenn dir ein Verhaltensanalytiker (BCBA, Board Certified Behavior Analyst) in einem (Online)Kurs etwas über Autismus erzählen will, dann ein gut gemeinter Rat:
Lese Texte von Autisten, stelle ihnen Fragen, versuche Dich mit ihnen auszutauschen.
Denn:
BCBA = #NoABA ABA

I am proud of my daughter becoming a Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA). She can now independently study behavior patterns and create treatment plans to help others using Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy.
Our son is working on his BCBA certification through Florida Tech.

Never a good day to argue with a BCBA. The same arguments have been recycled for years. It's exhausting.

There is a new autistic barbie out, but no one is talking about her mother, undiagnosed computer engineer barbie about to get the surprise of her life when she starts to argue with the evaluator that these are all normal childhood behaviours that she had when she was the same age.

Hey media outlets: When you publish articles on autism by ABA therapists (those with 'BCBA' in their byline), you are broadcasting to the world that you haven't bothered to listen to autistic experts on autism, and that your information is not only misguided but most likely wrong.

“BCBA here, that’s only true of bad companies! Most ABA is good, stop spreading misinformation!”
Ok & what are you doing about the “bad ABA”? How are you trying to help the kids trapped in the “bad” companies & the parents who were tricked into paying for it? I’m sure it’s lots & lots 🤨

한국 외식비가 기본 12,000이 된 것을 보고 놀랐다. 내가 한국에서 떠날 때 8,000~9000원이었다.
근데 한국에서 bcba는 얼마 받나 싶어 찾아봤는데 월급이 216만원이더라... 이게 더 놀랐다. 아니 식비가 저만큼 올랐는데 월급이 그대로도 아니고 더 줄어든 거 같은데...? 이게 말이 되나 싶었다. 적어도 300만원은 예상했는데...
한국에 돌아가서 살 가능성을 보려고 했는데... 216만원으로 한달을 살 수가 있어...? 식비가 12,000원인데...? 한국 월급은 뭔가 잘못되도 한참 잘못된 거 같다...

I had already responded to this on another post. Ended up having a long argument with a BCBA. All the large scale studies in support of ABA were meta-analyses. It’s concerning when the “gold standard” therapy for autism lacks large scale studies.

🧵 This is an old story but many professionals have said, in front of my Neurodivergent kids, that they “can’t” do something. 🙄
Often something that I’ve seen them do 100x.
A BCBA once said that my kid “can’t make eye contact” and that if they “can’t by the time they’re 16yo, it would be weird.” 😤

If you see someone with BCBA in their bio, call them a conversion therapist and block them. Give those assholes no oxygen.

Ja, das ist ein extremer Auswuchs an Menschenfeindlichkeit gegenüber autistischen Kindern.
Aber es hinterfragt keiner, denn in der Gedankenwelt von ABAlern muss man das nicht.
BCBA, BCBA-D, RBTs haben immer Recht. *Zynismus off*

When I worked at an inpatient hospital, the clinical director was a BCBA who told me the hardest thing for a Behaviorist was convincing manic patients “Here, take this pill, it’ll make you feel worse.”

Correct as @johnathanperk.bsky.social keeps saying it's been too late. And I also agree with his analysis as a BCBA.
