This study explored the long-term impacts of childhood applied behaviour analysis (ABA) on autistic adults through interviews and questionnaires with ten participants. The findings revealed predominantly negative experiences, with participants recalling hidden harms that affected their sense of identity and well-being into adulthood. The study emphasizes the importance of involving autistic individuals in shaping future interventions and research.
