Most liked on X and BlueskyThis research paper is excellent for explaining the link between ABA and gay/trans conversion "therapy" and how dangerous it is. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34407211/ Sometimes ABA looks like electric shocks at Judge Rotenburg. Other times, it looks like innocent peaceful play with a child...
Considering that a large percentage of #ActuallyAutistic people are trans and gay, I'm tired of the assumption that anti-LGBTQ conversion "therapy" is the only conversion "therapy." Conversion "therapy" starred with ABA, the mainstream autism "therapy" now. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34407211/
Some pro-ABA people are aware of the connections and are keen to distance themselves from use of these methods against LGBTQI+ people ONLY, whilst defending the nonconsensual use of #ConversionTherapy techniques against other vulnerable people. https://t.co/a9zM0MS2Nv

Yep and ABA is based on dog training and Gay conversion.. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34407211/
Show this energy for #ActuallyAutistic people. When you finally understand that conversion "therapy" started with autistic kids, then you will have an ally in fighting conversion "therapy" for LGBTQ kids. Citation

Conversion therapy advocacy has already been mainstream since ABA (the inspiration behind LGBTQ conversion therapy) became the mainstream "autism therapy." See citation
BTW @ghostgurney.bsky.social , even academic research says ABA is conversion therapy. Your repost means you are boo-hooing bc the Ontario government won't spend money on TORTURING autistic kids. I'm autistic, BTW. Yes, Ford is bad but not funding ABA is good. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34407211/

Assistant Professor Daniel Conine authored an article entitled, "LGBTQ+ Conversion Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis: A Call to Action," which was named one of the top 10 most-cited papers published in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis from 2022-2023. Congrats! https://t.co/4gL03vcAVU
@seanorr that goes double if they're the parents of an autistic kid and you tell them that ABA is literally conversion therapy for autism https://t.co/S7K0L3gZqC
Про конверсионную терапию и ABA. Некоторые слышали звон и теперь считают, что поведенческий подход заточен на "исправление" представителей ЛГБТКА+. Это устаревшая точка зрения, которая противоречит современному этическому кодексу. В JABA №55 была статья. https://t.co/urJhE20ejc

@MaartenSchrode1 @kelseyetcetera @AutSciPerson @AutisticGirls_ @autselfadvocacy https://t.co/bOizOAOawL looks like a legitimate source but I haven't read it carefully enough to figure out if it makes a relevant argument well enough.
@mssinenomine Here's a more formal study of the connections with more citations TL;DR it's similar in theory, practice, and the biggest name in ABA development was simultaneously developing both https://t.co/bOIHm9SELE
in the story he translated it into trans conversion therapy but that's very legit, they have historical/conceptual connections. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34407211/
@invisiblegirl99 @farid__jalali Whenever I see *anyone* talking positively about ABA, my back goes straight up, because ABA isn't scientific in the least -- it's literally just LGBTQ+ "conversion therapy" for autistic people, and this has been getting increasing attention recently. https://t.co/S7K0L3yAia
