Ming examines whether ABA therapy can harm children, pointing to cases of "ABA PTSD" and describing how rigid, reward-based methods and forced techniques have caused trauma in autistic patients.
Is ABA bad for you? Most recently people have been talking about ABA PTSD and say that hey I am suffering a lot because of what happened to me back in the day when my parents brought me to an ABA center. You probably would have seen these kind of things as the people are saying that's stressful to learn to behave to be like us neurotypical people and the therapy methods were like teaching an animal treating them with rewards using a different very rigid ways and making them very unhappy along the way A trauma from bad service in general just things I had a student who is on the spectrum who is now adult who has PTSD with oral motor that's something that I work with every day but it's the fact that they've been forcing her to open her mouth with incorrect methods and that has created a trauma. So it's not only in ABA it's all across this industry and other industries as well. This can happen to anyone Most.
