This was so helpful and well-crafted. On one level it completely overturns much of what I have seen in our work with autistic teens, and on the other hand informs and affirms so much of what I have seen in them as individuals. A part of me is listening and thinking, "Why have we not realized all of this before now?" TO Julie - Thank you for your bravery and incredible clinical insights, dynamic thinking, and solid research (from individuals, studies, experiences) to highlight & bring awareness

Loved all of this, and am so glad to be enlightened. I have truly tried to educate myself in this area. However, there is an ABA company that provides services in our school district for SO MANY students. How do we address this? How do we educate our administrators and families as to the harm of these services?

The instructor spoke from her experiences both clinically and personally, provided valuable research and resources, and touched on real occurrences and practices in history and presently, including their consequences. She gave clear descriptions and examples of essentially what clinicians should avoid but also what they should implement/focus on, along with rationales. She also discussed important semantic issues in neurodiversity discourse. I am so thankful I took this course!

This course was great as Neuro-diversity is so extremely important in the population of individuals with ASD. Abelism examples were provided which is a great refresher for what we would not want to incorporate. I like the emphasis on human variation instead of disorder or disability. Acceptance is the primary goal. I also appreciated the real life examples that ABA therapy can alter progress in a negative manner for some individuals as it requires rigorous standards, structure and expectations.

I did not agree completely with the teacher. Autism is on a spectrum and she appeared to be high functioning. I don't believe this applies to all autistic people, but would apply to some.

by

If there were some clients who stated this is helping it would have been more informative to me. I feel the negative overtones to all other therapy and the this is the "right way" attitude makes any education like this difficult to accept. Maybe just to soap box like and not enough positivity saying this would work. Or even saying collaboration can work.

Within this field that pathologizes communication, having this framework is cruicial to working with neurodiverse learners. As a neurodiverse SLPA, I have often been discouraged and felt defeated within a field that (r)enforces neurotyical standars. Affirming frameworks are ESSENTIAL to ensuring the well-being and maintained support of our neurodiverse caseloads

Great information and insight. Acceptance is key. Not only for autism acceptance but for anyone who might have different people skills. Schools, businesses , etc. put emphasis on people skills and expect all to conform. Brilliant productive people may have difficulty with eye contact and society considers that a deficit. Someone told me once that when they tried to use more eye contact they didn’t hear what their communication partner was saying.
