There was some comment about this here recently, and it made me realize that I’ve only driven with libs (as far as I know). I’m missing out on this vital human experience and everyone here needs to fill me in immediately.

    I knew a chud with a non verbal autistic son who the chud was trying to train like a dog, some kind of "therapy" called Autistic Behaviour Analysis or ABA.

    His son would (very understandably) respond to this mistreatment by hurting himself and other people.

    The chud also rode with an unlocked glock in the side door cup holder "for when I go into Portland where the homeless crazies are."

    I had to accompany this dude as part of my social work position at the time and every time the kid flipped out I would just pray he didn't reach for the pistol. Usually he'd just slam his head into me or the door but the thought was always in the back of my mind.

    The kid was also clearly gay, but one of his dad's favorite topics was "the normalization of homosexuality since Barak Hussein Obama" and would go on long pro Trump anti aoc, anti wheeler rants in the car.

    So, so, so glad to be doing something else now

      There are so many job openings for aba in my area. They pay well and provide benefits too. Everything I've heard about it sickens me though

      Assimilationist garbage pushed by genocidal “activist group” Autism Speaks. It literally just trains autistic kids through conditioning to not outwardly react to harmful stimulus. The material on your shirt makes your skin hurt? Time to wear that shirt over and over again to practice not allowing people to see your discomfort. You don’t have any safe foods to eat? Time to practice eating unsafe foods and repressing your gag reflex. Oh you’re 5 years old? You can handle 40 hours of therapy a week, right?

      Guess it beats being placed on a hot shovel as a baby to prove you’re not a fae imposter. Would be cool if we could stop killing autistic children altogether, but I know at this point when I’m asking too much of people.
