Autistic traits vs autistic trauma
“Trauma interventions can increase an autistic person's atypical behaviors as they re-connect with their genetically divergent bodymind. Autistic individuals may need more support after trauma interventions, not less.”

ABA proponents often claim play-based methods are “evidence-based” bc they produce measurable outcomes. The problem is what they measure. Most studies in ABA research focus on short-term behavior change—not long-term psychological health, identity or self-regulation.

Ableism is everywhere.
People will abandon you. Even those you were certain would stick by you.
Just because something is illegal or against human rights code doesn’t mean it’s not happening ALL the time

For needing social supports?
