Lets get all the soft words out of the way: aba therapy is the use of
psychological and sometimes even physical torture to train kids with autism
and other conditions to act more like normal people. It does not care about
acceptance, does not even try to help them develop and learn in any meaningful
way, is blind to any advanged autistic people might have in some areas and
doesnt even try to use those advances. All aba therapy does is get a monster
out of a cave and beat it until it lost all its geist, put it in a suit and
tie, than throw it into a office to pencil push rest of its life. It doesnt
even stop for a microsecond to wonder if the monster has any feelings, if its
physically capable of things humans arent...  
  
Are society doesnt want people who think differently, are undistracted by much
of the social bullshit that completely takes over the minds of many, are much
more sensitive and intune to the world around them... for heaven fucking shake
why is not putting up with fucking loud sounds a bad thing? Do normal people
even have ears?! Go and read the countless online articles about noise
pollution. **Noise pollution causes earing loss, stress, sleep issues, heart
attacks, environmental damage, increased risk of avoidable accidents...** and
not putting up with it is a disorder? and kids who dont put up with it should
be psychologically tortured until they show zero resitance to all the things I
listed?  
  
A lot of it connects to capitalism. The capitalists want workers who will
mindlessly do whatever they are told, not workers who ask questions. The
capitalists want workers who will put up with stressful and dangerous work
spaces, not ones who demand it gets fixed even if it cuts into profits.  
  
Some alternates to aba therapy (there are things here for adults to, children
arent the only ones with autism):

  * Spending time on hobbies and interests that you actually care about 
  * Filling the mind with well made works of fiction and history 
  * Art and music 
  * Study science and philosophy 
  * Safe and responsible use of psyadelic drugs 
  * Spending time going on hikes, biking, and doing fun things outdoors 
  * Pets and animals
