I hadnt heard of it. It seems that their are polarised opinions even in institutions. childautism.org.uk seem to support it, but autism.org.uk seem to oppose it in favour of PBS: Here
Ive never had any experiene of autism specific therapy. I am regularly off cognitive behaviour therapy though, but ive tried it before and its no help for me so I refuse it nowadays.
yes. It is regared as traumatic and abusive by many, many autistic self-advocates. I'll provide some links later. However, I found one perspective missing. The debate around it is held by either neurotypical people or by autistics with low support needs. So I'd like to know what autistics with higher support needs think and feel about the issue.
