Autism Knowledge

While ABA can help autistic people mask traits seen as negative it also leaves them with lasting trauma and its harmful to promote it as wholly good. There are other services that can help autistic people understand ourselves and overcome our troubles rather than forcing us to be “normal” Here are several links on harmful effects of ABA: (PDF) Why caregivers discontinue applied behavior analysis (ABA) and choose communication-based autism interventions (PDF) ABA Paper IJCP (PDF) Long-term ABA Therapy Is Abusive: A Response to Gorycki, Ruppel, and Zane I encourage you to read more and listen to autistic people and our experiences.

This app provides information for parents and love ones of children with autism to navigate and attain knowledge.

If I had known the app was a front for the hate group Autism Speaks, I never would’ve downloaded it. I and thousands of other autistics have been quite clear “Nothing about us without us.” Autism Speaks is a hate group and no parent of an autistic should seek information through them.

Accessing real, factual information in a world of disinformation is key. This app illuminates the autism online resources in one simple app. Amazing!

Informative, well run app! Will try out new ones from this developer!

Great concept and wonderful way to learn more about Autism and connect to resources!!
