Progressive ABA therapy instead is more compassionate, reasonable, flexible, client-focused and incorporates child development with other research in order to provide the best outcome possible for your child without the negative side effects of regular ABA therapy. I'm currently studying to take the exam to become a Registered Behavior Technician but I want to work at a clinic that specializes in this type of therapy. This type of ABA therapy uses "clinical direction" to adjust an approach in the middle of their session in order to best serve the client/child for their well-being in the future.

I always knew I was different, finding out I'm neurodivergent was a lifechanger for me, answered so many questions. BTW I noticed you wearing a jacket indoors - I do that too. I have this blue waterproof jacket I wear when it rains, snows, or is really cold but I always leave it on all day when I wear it since I like the jacket and consider it part of my outfit if I'm wearing it. It's so weird I'll be sitting there roasting in it but still REALLY WANT TO leave it on (even wearing it to bed). Any other woman with autism and/or ADHD like me with her jackets?

I'm glad so many of us are late-diagnosed because we can advocate for the younger ones. It's horrible to do these things to an autistic child. It's torture and sets the stage for self-sacrificing for a world that absolutely hates you.

I doubt OP is going to see this, but if he does then stay strong, I am mildly autistic myself and I know this feeling all too well specially when I was younger( from whatever age that kid is to 15 before it settled down some ). You’re doing a great job and ignore the comments saying otherwise. Also cheers from America to you.

This is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry you and your son went through that. Thank you for sharing your story. I am doing research on ABA Therapy before actually enrolling my son. I never want him to ever feel like he has to suppress who he is or how he feels bc society doesn't approve of it. He currently receives ot, speech therapy and soon physical therapy as well. Which I think are adequate help! He is talking now and thrives more and more each day. I will not be placing him into ABA and will continue to be the support that he needs at home by being his parent and loving him for exactly for who he is. You are doing an amazing job. And your son is so so lucky to have you as his momma!

I love Jazz' calming box. Great idea to keep clear boxes with visuals. Im happy you feel calm. Awesome video. I've been wanting to get assessed most recently. I'm in the process of this. It is very costly, that's for sure. I've been trying other alternatives to aid my brain and decided to try Neurofeedback. I've had 10 sessions of Neurofeedback, which has helped a lot with the functioning of my brain and being to complete more tasks than I was able to before, less anxiety. The psychologist that I go to for sessions has been practising for over 30 years, and she is very busy. If you want any details you can ask me. What is neurofeedback therapy? Neurofeedback is a non-invasive treatment that encourages the brain to develop healthier patterns of activity. The goal of treatment is not only to change how you think and feel but also to change your brain on a biological level for better functioning. In other words, you can see your brain activity changing in a healthier way. It's long-term results.

Could not have been more true or better explained. This is why awareness and acceptance is so important. Society should adapt to meet the needs of disabled/ neurodivergent people not the other way round.

I've tried Dexedrine and Adderall in my high school years, but most recently I've been on Strattera and currently Concerta. My psychiatrist explains ADHD as a radio picking up on multiple frequencies at once, then the med gets you tuned into the right station. Another one I like is that for NTs, stimulants will crank up their gas pedal, while us NDs get our brakes tuned up.

I love your explanation of your heart rate going up right before you felt calm and focused. The first few months of my son taking vyvanse, he would have one very emotional, crying meltdown shortly before it started working and helping him focus. It was so bizarre to me but perhaps his heart rate was going up. He has now been on vyvanse for 2-3 years and absolutely loves it. He had tried other stimulants before and didn’t like them at all. Now, he reminds me to get his vyvanse out for him if I don’t have it sitting out when he eats breakfast. He says they keep him calm, focused, less anxiety, and he’s able to get deep into his special interests and interact with friends much better.

Thank you for sharing what is obviously a tough subject to talk about. I am not a parent but have a close friend with 3 grown sons on the spectrum. I am very involved with the family but don’t know what kind of therapy they had as children. ABA therapy sounds uncomfortable, much like physical therapy. But isn’t the goal of therapy to help the child function in society? Does it achieve that? Just for one example, the clothes thing. You mention Jacob does not like the sensation of wearing clothes. My first thought was that he still has to learn to do this in order to go out into the world. So would there have been a better kind of therapy to teach him this? I guess I think that “compliance” like you say is to some point necessary for all of us in order to interact with others.
@danielmoore4024 Ай бұрын
There is better, more updated therapies but unfortunately only ABA is insured because of the capitalistic structure of society. Forcing compliance on groups of people actually enhances the likelihood of mental illness and suicide. Research shows autistic people are 10 times more likely than the general population to die by suicide, females and LGBTQ+ are also more likely all because of forced compliance. No autonomy, relatedness, or authenticity breeds sickness and disease. By these minorities being forced to compliance they are more likely to die prematurely because of disease and illness. People are forced to compliance not for their benefit, but to comfort the majority. Prejudice against women for example, culture has devalued feminine traits producing a masculine culture. Women are then forced to pretend not to be females otherwise they will be neglected, women and feminine boys living in a culture that values masculine traits is harmful towards women and LGBTQ+. All forms of discrimination are caused by culture devaluing certain people, culture became toxic because of the Eugenics Movement in the 19th and early 20th century. Before the ideology of ‘normal people’ was made in 1835 health disorders were no where near the rates they are today. Before the 19th century no one was being forced to compliance for social acceptance, the world accepted diversity. Forcing anyone to be so-called ‘normal’ only destroys autonomy and authenticity which is why sickness and disease have been on a constant rise, culture has become toxic, ‘normal’ is mythology. ABA lies to parents, actual ABA is harmful and abusive, it’s basically conversion therapy. Clinics that don’t do conversion therapy are not the actual ABA which autistic people warn parents about, but are a twisted version. ABA’s journals are nearly full of confirmation bias and unethical, poorly conducted studies. The “evidence” is extremely thin and weak, and ABA is in dealerships with private equities and the autism investor summit. I recommend a book called “The Autism Industrial Complex” by Professor Alicia A. Broderick, she provides great evidence that ABA is all about capitalism, not actually about helping autistic children.

I’m sorry but your kid has to wear clothes in public. A lot if not most autistic people mask because they have to learn to function in society. So yeah, it’s not going to be comfortable because they are having to adapt/get out of their comfort zone. None of us get through life unscathed in one way, and life is going to be harder if you’re autistic no matter what. How else are they going to learn these things without rewards and consequences? Even more so for these kids? Is this therapy really any more traumatic than being otherwise more ostracized in school and society for being unable to follow simple directions/wear clothes and be rejected by your peers? Seems like this therapy is the lesser of two evils for a lot of people? Maybe I’m wrong but just offering a different viewpoint. I’m curious for an open discussion, what methods are better and as effective then?

@@loumorningstar7709 I noticed the same thing. Can't understand why she would get hostile about that comment, it's true. I can't name a single person who doesn't stim in some way or another, and not a single one is on the spectrum. I have so many stims I can't count them, besides the ones I mentioned I also bite the skin on my lips, clear my throat and more. Stimming is a human thing, not an autism thing. Possibly autistic individuals don't hide it as well, but we all do it. I hope she educated whoever said that to her or everytime they see someone stim, they'll think they are on the spectrum.
