so uh. that challengers movie huh.
Applied behavior analysis has long been considered the gold standard. Now, people who have been through it are pushing back.
"Based on data gleaned from the nearly 10 million military dependents it insures, the U.S. Department of Defense has repeatedly called the evidence supporting ABA “weak,” noting there is no research to determine whether the small number of participants who show improvement — 15% — do so because of treatment or simply because a child has matured. After a year of the therapy, the department reported to Congress in 2019, 76% of 16,000 participating autistic children saw no change, and 9% worsened."
Okay before we get anyone on here saying "water is wet", here are some other bullet points about the article.
The article uses proper terminology and actually defines stimming, masking, and many other words that neurotypical people may or may not know (re autism)
The data that the article is based off of includes first hand accounts from autistic people who have gone through ABA. The researchers even used ASAN (autism self advocacy) as a resource! Actual autistic people shared their stories!!! And they believed us!!!!!
It explains WHY autistic people have a hard time with ABA, which is incredible. Not just the fact that it's akin to training a dog, but the psychology of it, and how it's overstimulating and degrading
There's a part that does quote from Auti$m $peaks spokespeople, BUT it's because they're leading into how neurotypical parents see ABA most often as a "saving grace" to get a "normal child" and then goes on to tell more about how autistic children perceive ABA, both during and after treatment
One family's story tells of how a mother noticed her autistic son would actually hide when she went to turn the computer on for ABA therapy (this was during COVID lockdown) and how she realized something was off because of that. She canceled ABA and found an alternative (called Floor Time) where the child actually directs the play, and the therapist/teacher goes along with what the kid wants/does!
There's a really cool bit on why ABA is usually the only thing available to parents, and the answer is Shitty American Healthcare/Insurance Companies!
It notes that ABA therapists don't really have strict training requirements. You can do a quick online course and become an ABA therapist. It does not require a college degree. That should horrify you.
There's another parallel study with its own data coming out in 2025
Honestly, this whole article is a gem. Remember, while "water is wet" studies seem trivial, we need them in order to get our side of the story taken seriously. Research with credible data that backs up what we've been saying is important!
TL; DR?
Huge study with lots of input from autistic people tells us ABA sucks!
Thank you for this addition. A better encouragement for this article than I managed!
Those studies with massive data pools are especially telling, since the common refrain is that “real” ABA is effective, and the ineffective treatments are due to a lack of training. A pool that big with results that shitty indicates that either a) ABA is ineffective regardless of how it’s practiced or, b) “real” ABA is so rarely practiced that it, not the “bad” ABA, is the outlier.
Like, okay, let’s take that at face value: let’s agree that all good outcomes from ABA are when it’s done right, and all bad outcomes are when it’s done wrong. That would still means that over 80% of ABA is being done wrong. Your chances of getting an ABA therapist who does it “right” are very, very low: far worse than random chance.
Imagine if this was applied to literally anything else. “This pacemaker always works, unless it’s manufactured incorrectly; it just so happens that only 15% are made correctly.” That would be nuts! That would never get past the FDA! At that point, it’s more accurate to say it never works unless it’s manufactured incorrectly.
What do you mean this isn’t what happened at the landsmeet?
