>that entirely focuses on getting autistic people to conform to "acting normal" There is no reason why ABA has to be used for that purpose, it's just a technique to modify behaviour, it can potentially be used for good. The problem I have more with ABA is the utter lack of ethical oversight amongst its practitioners, such as trade organisations continued acceptance of the Judge Rotenberg Center[1] who tortures its patients[2] according to the UN. I am generally concerned that this is a treatment ONLY used on autistic children since that makes the potential for abuse far higher, since they're "others".
