When I came across this wonderful series of instructional videos, I
felt compelled to share them right away. As parents of kids of
children on the Autism Spectrum, we do a lot of reading, so it's
always nice to find instructional materials that we can sit back and
watch. These videos produced by Butterfly Affects provide a unique –
and free – opportunity for viewers to learn about some fundamental
concepts related to Applied Behavior Analysis that in my opinion are
crucial components of a quality Autism intervention program.

Gee, thanks for the spam. How ever would we have found it without your help?

I'm so very glad this matter has come up. I've been PROTESTING this CRAP my
entire life - IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL, DOMINATION, SUBJUGATION, and
MANIPULATION - AND THAT'S ALL IT HAS ***EVER*** BEEN ABOUT!!!
EVERYONE - PLEASE VISIT THIS SITE AND READ THE ARTICLE - IT'S A VERY LONG
ONE BUT IT PRACTICALLY SAYS IT ALL:
http://www.sentex.net/~nexus23/naa_aba.html
It's entitled:
THE MISBEHAVIOUR OF BEHAVIOURISTS
Ethical Challenges to the Autism-ABA Industry
by Michelle Dawson
Here's an excerpt that's a little gist of what it's about:
We are in a society in which autistics have rights only if and when we
resemble non-autistics.
This is like being black in a society where blacks have rights so long as
they become white. My Member of Parliament recently told me that people
casually and automatically assume she would prefer to be white, and
incorrectly believe this would be an improvement--so perhaps my analogy is
not a false equation. The poverty of autistic social outcomes, regardless
of our abilities, is consistent with persons who have no rights and merit
no ethical consideration. A treatment to make black people white, on the
grounds that being white is statistically much better, is unthinkable in
this society, never mind having it funded by taxpayers. We recognize
instead that the best and least expensive way to deal with persons who have
been denied rights because they are different is to restore these rights.
Only when people with differences have legal and human rights can they be
ethically researched and ethically helped.
Until this happens in autism, behaviourists can't evaluate what recovery
from autism means and how it might be manifested. They have no way of
knowing whether recovery from autism is a good or a terrible result. Their
criteria are the biased byproducts of human rights violations and cannot be
trusted. In pretending otherwise, behaviourists are proposing to train
autistics in appropriate human behaviours while themselves displaying some
of the most maladaptive human behaviours available.

HEAR - HEAR - HEAR - HEAR - HEAR!!!!!!!!!!
It's Exactly as I've been Justly complaining about it all along, and the
name for it is NEUROTYPICAL BIGOTRY!!!
