"She gets ABA therapy" Well I just died a little inside. Maybe she has horrible anxiety from what was described on a pro-ABA website as "similar to training dogs". Except that autistic people are not dogs, they are human, and most sane people would never train their dogs that wa...

I suspect there are a lot of us in various trades, especially where technical knowledge needs to back up the skills, electrical and plumbing being examples already quoted. Potential pressure points: saying yes too often and getting overloaded with work, occasionally not reaching complete understandi...

Intervention such as ABA is intended, if my understanding is correct, to train a person to show particular des...

I am enjoying watching the engineering mature and the limitations and advantages being teased out. Thinking back nearly forty years when I started my training in Electrical Engineering, a vehicle battery was either a heavy lump of lead and sulphuric acid ( no chance of high performance) or an experi...

A "Pastor" we would describe by the term "Ranter" back in the 1650's, a movement which burned itself out over following decades but seems to be making a comeback. The individual probably got off so much preaching the same sort of hateful nonsense against anyone different in any w...

It is genuinely pretty difficult to get a diagnosis in Britain, and I'd imagine there are plenty of places where it is far harder. It takes along time unless you pay private. As i said people can identify whatever they want, no one is going to stop them and no one else cares. The problem is if he`s...

People forget the second half of that quote: The customer is always right in matters of taste . Basically, don't argue with them if they like something ugly.
