Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says
orrk@lemmy.world 1 month agooh, ABA, you mean the “therapy” that for some reason causes a suicide rate of over 70%?
tho an “ABA tech” is cheaper than an actual medical professional since they just need a few weeks of training instead of several years

It’s hard to get away with “your presentation and profession is shit and you didn’t bother looking into any information other than your first google search” as a peer unfortunately. I did manage some gentle questions about AS’s one autistic board member’s exit….
It is fascinating that “behavioral health” seems to be just torturing/drugging kids until they get better. I didn’t get ABA, but very similar treatment.

it’s not really that fascinating, of course the cheap and easy answer is a derivative of “beat it until it behaves”, a large part of the states still have the paddles in school

In the states? At least in mine, parents have to give permission for the school to paddle. Most districts don’t want the liability or the paperwork. At least in public ed.

do I have to go into the levels of fucked your comment still leave the US at? most of the first world has not just stopped school corporal punishment, no it’s just straight up illegal to beat your child as punishment.
If a parent here gave consent to corporal punishment, with a paddle no less, they would soon see their child in foster care and themselves in front of a judge.
