Talk:Applied behavior analysis

NLP?
Is NLP any better for people on the spectrum than a placebo? SmartFeller (talk) 13:05, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Guess I had an inverse stopped clock moment. Well no one is perfect. ClickerClock (talk) 10:44, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Title?
I'd think applied behavior analysis was a better name. Anyone disagree? - David Gerard (talk) 19:13, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Article Needs to be Mostly Rewritten
Much of this article is woefully inaccurate and either cites blogs, an article on aversion therapy in China, or leaves out citation all together. - TurkeyLettuceWrap
 * It's a wiki so why don't you do it? Everyone is free to contribute. ClickerClock (talk) 06:43, 28 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Because partisan activists will undo it because they don't like hearing others sides of the perspective. Even if I cite sources in articles that show a different perspective, people remove it for absolutely ignorant reasons and doubt my evidence without refuting the science sourced in the citations. Same thing will apply here. I know with 99% certainty if anyone DOES actually try to make it more balanced that it will almost immediately get removed by people who disagree or don't like the citations because it goes against their worldview. I have seen this happen numerous times including to myself on this wiki so trying to edit this page to be more balanced would be a waste of time. Not to say ABA is without critique but this is extremely biased and is more of a hate piece by ND activists rather than an actual scientifically backed article. Many of the sources are just made by ND advocates themselves and usually on blogs as "legitimate" citation. 192.130.189.130 (talk) 03:47, 17, January 2022 (EST)

Thought
This article makes me exceptionally angry. The human pond-scum who make kids go through this deserve to rot in a fire, imo. Fucking conformists. Certainly if my parents tried to make *me* go through this (I'm autistic), I would not be happy, to put it lightly. ⏣sapient_cogbag⏣ talk  03:54, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
 * My dad, being the abusive sack of shit he was, forced me to go through this. I eventually become a submissive literal robot, any deviation from his strict rule was swiftly punished, and the punishments were draconian. Imagine having to write lines saying "I will not do [x]" for several hours, and then be told to "do it again." It once got so bad my stepmother had to intervene, and she was a right and proper bitch herself. It was torture, and we were treated like slaves. I once was forced to stand in a corner and hold a bottle of water above my head, it doesn't sound so bad until you realize I was forced to do this for an hour and was not allowed to relieve my fatiguing arms, also imagine being mocked and laughed at while doing this too for being "weak." I have complex PTSD from this and other things, I remember thinking that it would never end. — Oxyaena Harass  06:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
