I am a mother of a 26-yr-old son who was diagnosed at an early age with PDD-NOS and ADHD, inattentive type. Life has been interesting, to say the least. I have been trying since he was 16, to get an updated evaluation for him and to seek services. He has finally agreed.

There is an entire economy that wants to cash in on your parenting angst and doubt. It’s normal to be stressed, have doubts, guilt and anxiety. Don’t give in to scare tactics.

I'm looking for all the resources in and around the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan Area that I can. So many of my posts will be from what I find. I hope to create a place where other parents looking for assistance can find a resource that will be helpful to them.

I knew that ABA was bad, but I've never seen the reasons laid out so clearly before. From Dr. Devon Price's incredible book: Unmasking Autism.
![This desire to make Autistics compliant and nondisruptive is a large part of why the prevailing treatment for Autism in children is Applied Behavior Analysis (or ABA) therapy. ABA is focused on training Autistic kids to fake a neurotypical personality. It’s a behavioral therapy, not a cognitive or emotional one. As long as the Autistic child’s outward actions change and become less “disruptive” or more “normal,” it doesn’t really matter to the ABA therapist what’s going on between the kid’s ears. ABA therapists train children to camouflage their Autistic traits using a system of rewards and punishments. ABA patients get sprayed in the face with water (or on the tongue with vinegar) for failing to make eye contact, or for talking too much about their special interests. If a child engages in echolalia (phrase repeating), chews on their fingers, or flaps their hands, they’ll be punished, even if they find these impulses painful to restrain. ABA patients are also forced to rehearse compensation strategies. They’re made to sit still for hours until they parrot back a conversational script correctly, and aren’t allowed to get up and play until they provide an “adequate” amount of eye contact.[10] They may be asked to repeat conversational niceties like “please” and “thank you” over and over until they hit on the correct tone of voice, or be told to stand up and sit down repeatedly while the therapist snaps their fingers at them like they’re a trained dog. When Autistic kids act out or demand attention, ABA therapists are supposed to withdraw, leaving the room or ignoring their distress. This teaches the Autistic child not to expect any help from the outside world. ABA therapists also punish children by electrocuting them.[11]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nopybdxcpjztmuubbmc2yd3p/bafkreifwr2xemtxelbehyl22a63vvde5pv3x6fqngrxioehu7skjqjzv4a@jpeg)
