    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...
    <br/><br/>
    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. <b>Noise
    pollution causes earing loss, stress, sleep issues, heart attacks, environmental damage,
    increased risk of avoidable accidents...</b>
    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?
    <br/><br/>
    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.
    <br/><br/>

    with autism):
