The non autistic ppl who think we're low IQ

I dont know who is talking about a daily battle, but raising an autistic child is a daily struggle/ battle. If he fails a math test, he will go back better prepared next time for when he does battle with a math test. Your propaganda is old bro. Life is a struggle/ battle if you are doing well.

I am saying that having ABA therapists calling their time with our Autistic children “A daily battle” is a poor sign. The idea that reward and punishment are the way to help an autistic person is accepted by those proposing ABA for treatment of Autistic children to correct behavior that would be considered unacceptable if applied to neurotypical children. Asking someone to modify their behavior to avoid punishment is just wrong.

@@adamruddle6558 "I am saying that having ABA therapists calling their time with our Autistic children “A daily battle” is a poor sign." What you are really saying, is that you lack evidence for your beliefs and faith in the your new religion, wokeness (neurodiverse denomination.) You are grasping at straws, and will hang your belief in (non ABA, what is the evidence based alternative you would recommend?) based on intentionally exploiting the word "battle". Just FYI, My son is autistic, it is a struggle and a battle to raise him. "The idea that reward and punishment are the way to help an autistic person ....(VS. ) unacceptable if applied to neurotypical children. " Buddy, sincerely, "Operant conditioning, or instrumental conditioning, is a theory of learning where behavior is influenced by its consequences. Behavior that is reinforced (rewarded) will likely be repeated, and behavior that is punished will occur less frequently." Buddy your religion is so strong that you don't understand that Operant conditioning is the fundamental learning modality of every animal on the planet Earth, even Autistic people. Are u presuming they are unable to learn this way? "Asking someone to modify their behavior to avoid punishment is just wrong." No it's right, absolutely, fundamentally, and legally the correct way to treat all human's on the planet earth. A meritocratic society, rewards good behaviors ( money, status, health, etc) and punishes bad behavior with ( poverty, shame, and disease) and prison. This guides humans through life, all humans, even if you underestimate Autistic people, like my son.

Like all wokesters before you. In your mind, or out loud you will say something like, " I still think it should have been handled better." Justifiable police shooting, Palestine/Gaza... whatever the situation, you will never offer an evidence based solution, just give that same platitude. So let me help you, here is what a good wokester would say, " ABA is terrible, not ABA, anything but ABA'. Then what?, I ask. "Well, Uhhh, I still think it should be handled better. (non-answer.)" No evidence based solution ever. And let me get to the next thing, where you try to become a guru, and flip the script of reality, I will help you here. Here is you next go to argument wokester, "Autism doesn't need "a solution" man, close minded man, I have all the non-answers, I'm the guru from the 1960's and you're the man." You are thinking, "I'm virtuous, and you're on the wrong side of history." Tell me great oracle, what does the future hold?
