i can tell you from experience that autism does not care a lot about exposure. if you're overstimulated you're overstimulated. and also it's often much worse as a kid/teen. maybe try exposure therapy again when they're a more mellow adult. when they've learned about their own condition and can logic their way into a solution, instead of misery being forced on them by people who don't understand
No, no, no – if we've learned anything from ABA by now, it's that it fully and completely works! Why? Because it makes sense to how allistics experience the world. How else are we supposed to measure something not intended for allistic people?
That's not a little bit
