Ariane wrote that she disagrees with the basic tenants of ABA because they are based on what she and some other neurodiversity advocates like to call a “deficit model.” The implication is that- at its CORE- ALL ABA tries to “change” an autistic person, and cannot be “accepting”. It’s dishonest to dismiss Mallory’s comment as off topic. She is saying she PRACTICES ABA and her goal in treatment is not to rid her clients of autism or treat them as deficient people. It’s pretty relevant to this pretty ignorant criticism of ABA.
