As a disabled person I am not “insulted” by the tiny number of folk circumventing the system…

I’m insulted by disability benefits being less than a liveable amount.
By the process being inaccessible and harming vulnerable people.

By ableists making ableist assumptions.

I still use it for Marketplace bc Craigslist is pretty dead around here. I have to make a conscious effort not to look at my TL because it seems like it's engineered to piss me off.

If this is going to be a way to get better foods in my body I appreciate it but I'm good! I know how to eat, just some days I forget that I need to do more than snack because the AuDHD has the hyperfocus bouncing everywhere but food

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

Autism $peaks is the largest and most popular Autism organization (among allistics), who continues to be 100% in support of ABA. They have lobbyists who push ABA as the “gold standard Autism treatment.” It utilizes same practices as “conversion therapy,” which is currently banned in 28 countries.

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · 2d

ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is the “gold standard” of “treatment” for Autism, and was created by the person as “Conversion therapy” (see Lovaas) with similar techniques and goals. It’s torture that continues to have widespread support and acceptance.

I bring a sort of land pack is the only answer vibe to the discourse that settlers don't really like
