A Framework for Neurodiversity-Affirming Interventions for Autistic Individuals.

£0.00

Lerner, Gurba and Gassner (2023) 

For over 60 years, autism interventions have been developed without meaningful input from autistic people, especially regarding the goals and design of these treatments. This has led to practices—like applied behaviour analysis (ABA)—being criticised for ignoring autistic voices and sometimes causing harm. There is now a strong call for neurodiversity-affirming approaches that respect autistic perspectives and focus on support rather than trying to "fix" autism.

Disclaimer: discusses ABA and harm.
