Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA (not to be confused with the American Board Association) is called the "gold standard" for ASD by ABA, despite all the studies to the contrary.

History of ABA

History of ABA (e.g. Ole Ivar Løvaas), its development alongside Gay and Trans Conversion Therapy.

View on it

The autism community (mostly parents of autistic children) tend to push this "therapy" while the Autistic Community (autistics themselves) tend to vehemently oppose it.

(Maybe insert studies here refuting it, such as the Department of Defense's recent report on it, etc)
