“The concern is this is a reboot of that fight, with this 'profound autism' construct as a new vehicle for litigating fights about inclusion that took place a generation ago around intellectual disability.”
What Ari Ne'eman has said
“I would argue that ABA is potentially harmful in any situation because we haven't really addressed the ethical concerns of the potential mental health consequences. But even if we were to set that aside, the idea that there is an evidence base for applying ABA in all instances without regard to any consideration for age or the types of challenges that someone has, it's just ludicrous.”
