<div>Proprioception is one of the senses, also known as kinaesthesia. It is your body’s ability to sense its location, movement and action. <br />
<br />
If this sense is out of balance then we experience instability leading to volatile emotions/mood swings, poor coordination, poor posture, inability to focus, sleep difficulties and reduction in fluidity of speech. (https://sonoransunpediatrictherapy.com/2017/11/16/what-is-proprioception-and-why-is-it-important/).<br />
<br />
The body’s natural response to this is to self regulate through vocal and physical behaviours (self stimulatory behaviours or ‘stimming’).

While many autists have moved away from these terms, some continue to use them to describe their experience. Please remember that people may have complex reasons for the words they choose, and that differences in vocabulary are okay. In short, while it's important to understand how these outdated terms play to most autists, it's also not helpful to police other people's word choices.<br />

* [[Social anxiety]]<br />
* [[Pathological demand avoidance/pervasive drive for autonomy]] [[extreme demand avoidance]] the combination of Autism and ADHD driving a non-stop rollercoaster ride of fight or flight responses (the autism wanting routine and the adhd wanting spontaneity) feeding the need to claw back control, reducing the brains capacity to regulate and rationalise likely resulting in crashes and observable ‘extreme reactions’ to what may be perceived as minor events. (This is what I am currently working on as part of my MA in Autism).<br />

== About this wiki ==<br />
<br />
* '''Everyone is welcome to contribute to this wiki!'''<br />
* You can '''edit any page''' without even having an account. Just hit the 'Edit' link on any page (including this one!). ''Important privacy note'': editing a page without having an account or without being logged in will show your IP address publicly in the changelog/history of a page.<br />
* The number one rule of wiki editing is to be bold. '''Go ahead – make changes — even large rewrites of big topics'''. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try!<br />
** If you disagree with what someone else has put, please consider adding a [[Help:Style guidelines#Comments|note of disagreement]] and what you think/would do after that section, especially if it could be something that varies by country or even situations or if you want to change it to/from an absolute (such as job interviews or eye gaze)<br />
* None of the content here is sacred. Please just make changes, even to articles on 'major' topics! Some of the articles are just starter content or from a particular person's perspective. Earlier versions can always be restored if necessary. '''These are all collaborative documents'''.<br />

== How to contribute ==<br />
<br />
* Here is a [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page short guide] on how to create a new wiki page from scratch! Please check first whether a similar page already exists to avoid duplicates.<br />
* Here are some of our [[Help:Style guidelines|style guidelines]] if you're unsure about formatting etc. But '''don't worry or overthink too much about "getting things right"''', these are not "hard rules" – and everything can be edited, formatted & moved later without issue anyway! :)<br />

Please remember that people may have complex reasons for the words they choose, and that differences in vocabulary are okay. In short, while it's important to understand how these outdated terms play to most autists, it's also not helpful to police other people's word choices.<br />

While many autists have moved away from these terms, some continue to use them to describe their experience. Please remember that people may have complex reasons for the words they choose, and that differences in vocabulary are okay. In short, while it's important to understand how these outdated terms play to most autists, it's also not helpful to police other people's word choices.<br />

<br />
<br />
'''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.<br />
<br />
== History of ABA ==<br />
<br />
History of ABA (e.g. Ole Ivar Løvaas), its development alongside Gay and Trans Conversion Therapy.<br />
<br />
== Problems with ABA ==<br />
<br />
Most studies on the effectiveness of ABA is done by ABA practitioner<br />
<br />
The autism community (mostly parents of autistic children) tend to push this "therapy" while the Autistic Community (autistics themselves) tend to vehemently oppose it.<br />
<br />
Advocates for ABA tend to say, "That's the '''old''' ABA! The new ABA is kind and gentle!" There is a multitude of problems here, not the least of which is the ones saying this are often ABA providers/workers (aka, conflict of interest). Also, this is similar to the Moving Goalpost fallacy, where those in the "new ABA" are too young to speak up (even online), and by the time they can speak up, what they went through will be considered "old ABA".<br />
<br />
While the "new ABA" may or may not utilize punishments, they often ''withhold'' food, toys, communication devices, etc. until the child complies. It also relies on rewards, or "positive reinforcemnt"<ref>[https://www.abacenters.com/aba-therapy-positive-reinforcement/ Positive reinforcement. CW: ABA site]</ref>, which has been shown to decrease intrinsic motivation (meaning they are less likely to do the thing when there will be no reward) <ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27084549/ Rewards decrease intrinsic motivation, pubmed]</ref><br />
<br />
ABA often includes "teaching" autistic kids to do stuff that is not natural to them, which leads to [[Masking|masking]], or camouflaging. This can include making [[eye contact]], selecting appropriate topics, expressing emotions, and more. <ref>[https://www.abacenters.com/social-skills-for-children-with-autism/ "Necessary" social skills according to this ABA site]</ref> Masking has been linked to increased risk of anxiety, PTSD, and suicidality. <ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31820344/ Increased suicidality, pubmed]</ref><ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33593423/ Increased anxiety]</ref><ref>[https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/AIA-08-2017-0016/full/html 46% of ABA-exposed respondents had PTSD, and 47% of that group was severe]</ref><br />
<br />
There are also ethical concerns: <br />
<blockquote><br />
Assuming for the sake of argument that ABA is effective at changing people’s behavior, it either does so via changing their underlying thought structures or values (“deep change”), or it does not (“superficial change”). If ABA is “successful” by way of deep change, then ABA violates autonomy insofar as it coercively closes off certain paths of identity formation. If ABA is “successful” by way of superficial change, then ABA violates autonomy by coercively modifying children’s patterns of behavior to be misaligned with their preferences, passions, and pursuits.<ref>[https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1353/ken.2020.0000 Ethical concerns regarding ABA]</ref><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Judge Rotenberg Center ==<br />
The Judge Rotenberg Center is a school in Canton, Mississippi for ASD children and adults using ABA principles, including electric shock.<br />
<br />
In March 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the Graduated Electronic Decelerator (GED) that administers the shocks.<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fda-bans-shock-device-used-mentally-disabled-patients-n1149646 FDA bans GED]</ref> The JRC petitioned the court to appeal the ban and, in July 2021, a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., overturned it.<ref>[https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/appeals-court-axes-fda-ban-electric-shock-disabled-n1273572 Court overturns ban]</ref><br />
<br />
== Alternatives to ABA == The Low Arousal Approach (McDonnell. A, 1994).<br />
<br />
== An Autist's definition ==<br />
<br />
An Autist's definition: <br />
<br />
The ableist bigoted abuse of a child in which they are crippled for life by being ritualistically exposed to hostile conditions devised to manifest an artificial Autistic mask burdening the Disabled with accommodating the whims of the Abled.<br />
<br />
== Similarities to gay conversion therapy ==<br />
<br />
The abhorrent practice of ABA shares a common origin with Gay Conversion Therapy: Dr. Ole Ivar Loovas<br />
<br />
Dr. Ole Ivar Loovas famously rejected the basic humanity of Autistic people, as he openly and unabashedly demonstrated in the following quote:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
"You see, you start pretty much from scratch when you work with an autistic child. You have a person in the physical sense – they have hair, a nose and a mouth – but they are not people in the psychological sense. One way to look at the job of helping autistic kids is to see it as a matter of constructing a person. You have the raw materials, but you have to build the person."<br />

<div>{{Redundant|page=[[The pathology paradigm]]}}<br />
<br />
In the '''deficit model''', or '''medical model''', most diagnostic criteria for autism are framed as being deficits when compared to [[Allism|allistic]] or [[neurotypical]] people. Although outdated, this is still used by many psychiatrists and physicians.<br />
<br />
An analogy to support this might be: Asking a dog to be more ‘cat’ or a cat to be more ‘dog’. Assessing a cats skills using a criteria designed for dogs and vice versa… this will likely result in neither one achieving the ‘desired’ outcome. <br />

<hr />
<div>{{Stub}}<br />
'''Neurodivergence''' describes the concept of a [[Neurodiversity|neurotype]] being different from the "norm". A person is '''neurodivergent''', or '''ND''' for short, if they are diagnosed – either by a [[Formal diagnosis|professional]] or via [[Self-diagnosis|self-diagnosis]] [[self-identity]] – with one or more of the following: [[Autism]], [[ADHD]], [[Obsessive-compulsive disorder|OCD]], [[Bipolar disorder|bipolar disorder]], [[Dyslexia]], [[Dyspraxia]], [[Dyscalculia]], ''-please add more here-''<br />
<br />
The antonym of ''neurodivergent'' is ''[[Neurotypical|neurotypical]]''. Or [[Predominant Neurotype]] [[PNT]]<br />
<br />
== Difference between neurodivergence and neurodiversity ==<br />
<br />
Neurodivergence express a quality of a person's neurology in relation to the common neurotypical one or [[Predominant Neurotype (PNT)]]; [[Neurodiversity|neurodiversity]] expresses that there are several neurotypes which differ from each other. One person can be neurodivergent; you could also say "a group of neurodivergent people," who may or may not be neurodivergent in the same way as one another.<br />
<br />
A group can be neurodiverse if they have different neurotypes from one another. A group consisting of people with differing neurotypes (which may include neurotypicals or PNT’s) are a ''neurodiverse'' group.<br />

One person can be neurodivergent; you could also say "a group of neurodivergent people," who may or may not be neurodivergent in the same way as one another.<br />
<br />
Only a group can be neurodiverse, and only if they have different neurotypes from one another. A group consisting of people with differing neurotypes (which may include neurotypicals) are a ''neurodiverse'' group.<br />
