Unmasking isn’t “doing whatever you want, whenever you want”
It isn’t being mean to people because it makes you feel good to turn the tables
It isn’t physically hurting people because it’s “natural”
Unmasking isn’t performative.
Unmasking is about understanding your needs in a sustainable way.

E.g., those "gold standard," "evidence-based" claims? When examined, ABA research is riddled by conflicts of interest. And per Dr. @kbottemabeutel.bsky.social, "we shouldn’t have a separate set of lower standards that we only apply to autism research."

Conflicts of Interest in Early Autism Intervention Research
A very large portion of early autism intervention research is… conducted by the same people who design or provide the interventions.

Just finished the Neurodiving podcast. Five excellent episodes unpicking and critiquing the Theory of Mind (and autism research more generally). Highly recommended.

Talking to an ABA Practicioner
There's an ABA Practicioner who kept getting thrown at me via some feeds, and I tried to discuss with her.
I'm not saying "This is how to do this", but I have some thoughts on what to avoid.

Pleased (if a tiny bit confused) that this paper is now officially part of an issue (volume 54, issue 4) of Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour, six months or so after it was first published!

Aside from monotropism, sensory processing differences, the double empathy problem, and pervasive drive for autonomy, are there any other autism theories that are not stigmatising and based on differences as autistic people experience them?
