The problem with many of the dialogues between people in #BehaviorAnalyst roles, and autistic people and their allies who support the #BanABA movement, is that there's a misalignment of goals.
Some of us don't want to talk to ABA people at all.

But those who are prepared to do so are doing it with the purpose of getting you to give up your ABA-based job and to shut down your whole industry.
We're prepared to help you work towards alternative revenue streams, but for many of you, having a different job to go to isn't your main concern; you believe in ABA and you're determined to make ABA work.

PRACTICAL PROJECT FOR REFORM-MINDED BCBAs WHO WORK WITH AUTISTIC PEOPLE [THREAD]

#BehaviorAnalyst #BCBA #ABA
I'm a member of the #BanABA movement. We believe that Applied Behaviour Analysis should not be the basis of any nonconsensual therapy for autistic people. We want this type of therapy to be declared unlawful.
Some of us who are part of the #BanABA movement do also talk to ABA professionals who are interested in reforming ABA (even though we believe that ABA-based approaches like EIBI are fundamentally flawed, rather than just broken).
