The current "therapy strategies" is ABA which is literally abuse. They didn't even bury the lede. They just flatout omitted that part. "[...]shape better therapy strategies" implies making the current ones better, but the current ones are abysmal. So it's pretty obvious that they think anyone on the spectrum that isn't passing as a "normal human" is subhuman trash. I just can't fucking believe that this title basically reads like "It turns out dumb autistic kids are pretty close to functioning humans, please disregard how fascist this sounds. Have a good day." Who fucking let this get published?
I was lucky and suffered my entire 41 years of existing going undiagnosed and never experiencing ABA but a lot have. And Autism moms/parents remain willfully ignorant about it.
