“In my experience ABA is about skill building, not taking away a person’s unique interests. I want my child to learn about cars if they like cars, but not engage in severe tantrum behavior and/or dangerous self-injurious behavior. Guidance with acquiring language is helpful too. ABA can be...”Read full review »

“I think most of the information you share is extremely helpful but your mouth noise is SO BAD that I can’t listen to you. Perhaps move AWAY from the mic when you need to swallow your spit. Good grief. Also, give your guests a chance to speak. You are so busy plugging your books, your website, and...”Read full review »

“I can’t believe this podcasts exists in 2023. She does not understand stimming or scripting. She surely doesn’t understand Gestalt language processing.
Some good podcasts that don’t try to mask the autistic community are 2 sides of the spectrum and Uniquely Human.
This podcast is so disappointing.”

“Run! This is ableist and harmful information. Not up to date with the latest neurodivergent research. Gives information that is now researched to be harmful. Is pro ABA and places blame and shame on the parents of neurodivergent children. We now know that 80% of autism is linked to genes and ...”Read full review »

We should be teaching autistic folks and their families how to read and regulate these “problem behaviors” with healthy coping mechanisms. You are missing out on learning about what the stimming and scripting is telling us...”Read full review »

“As an adult autistic I can tell you that ‘modifying’ the behaviour of a child does not change their inner world or their experience of the world. Instead you cause distress, trauma and mental health problems. ABA is state sanctioned child abuse. We are differently wired and you can’t ‘cure’ that...”Read full review »

“To everyone who is against ABA: ABA is literally short of Applied Behavioral Analysis. ABA is just a method of analyzing what influences someone’s behavior. Saying that ABA itself is bad is like saying that the statistical method or bird watching is bad. However, I do believe HOW you APPLY ABA...”Read full review »
