Hey! This May Be Weird But I Wanted To Ask A Personal Question But I Saw You Around The ABA Tag And Wanted
Hey! This may be weird but I wanted to ask a personal question but I saw you around the ABA tag and wanted to ask about your experience. If this is too personal or Much to answer publicly don’t feel any pressure to answer, my dms are open, or answering this privately is more than enough. Im ND with an undiagnosed learning disability and have suspected for a long time i’m autistic. Last summer I started working as an RBT in small small town midwest america. Last night I wanted to look up more online resources on reddit and was surprised by the amount of hate and loathing I saw about ABA. I’m not here to discredit those experiences that being said it was very surprising since as a queer ND i have never experienced a more accepting and genuinely caring community around me then when I started working with my coworkers. I didn’t think a space like this could exist in my town. As well as the information I was fed during training that many others have papers that contradict.
I’ve seen a lot of claims from peoples personal experiences, and I think ABA has changed a lot in the last few decades. and it is highly dependent on the center and technicians/BCBA’s you get. But because of what I’ve seen from the autistic community online I want to see a wide variety of experiences. Especially as this is an ethical dilemma I take very seriously. Would you be willing to detail what your personal experience with ABA Therapy was?
If you need specific questions prompting or an idea of what I am searching for; how old were you when you started? What did you work on? what was your experience with your technicians? Did you meet others who were in ABA and what was that like if so? Were there things that harmed you? What were the things you feel like helped you? Do you feel manipulated in any way from your experience?
Thank you for taking the time to read this whether or not you respond, I have never been ride or die for this field as a job sinceit can be taxing to work with younger children as my current position does. and that has always made me wary of keeping my job; that being said recently I have been considering working with a focus on older autistic kids as I feel like I could really connect and make a good difference in their lives as someone who can at least partially relate. That being said if there is a different or better job to do that through i’d rather start researching now rather than later and would like to improve my current work as much as I can before/if I decide to jump boat without it threatening my future.
I think I was about 2 and a half when I started. I don't remember a lot from my ABA therapy because I was very little back then. I don't know if I got trauma or not,but I turned out ok in the end! I have bad short term memory so writing stuff down and using a timer helps me remember some stuff. Also yes do more research about ABA and stuff if you want to get a job in this department.
Thanks for asking!

Some headcanons about Infinite being a dad cause why not?
I am back with more Infinite headcanons, this time of him being a dad cause we need more fluffy content like that. (These headcanons all take place Post Forces btw).
-I like to think that Infinite would be a very good father to his kids. But when he became a parent for the first time, Infinite was absolutely clueless like how does he take care of them?
-When his kids cry, Infinite perks his head up and moves his ears like an actual dog and tries to find the source of the noises so he can comfort them.
-Infinite sometimes sleeps with the babies in their crib if he's too tired to go back to bed.
-He is very territorial/protective of them, if you get too close he'll go absolutely mad and if he still had the Ruby then he would warp reality. He has trust issues and doesn't let anyone except people he likes near them.
-Infinite sometimes picks up his babies by the scruff of the neck and walk on all fours with them. He does this because of his natural instincts, but if he's in public he holds them normally.
-If Infinite's kids somehow gain his reality bending abilities, then he would teach them how to use it properly (so they don't end up almost destroying reality like he almost did in my Forces Rewrite).
That is all I have for now.
had no idea what i wanted this 2 be and its obvious but YEAG... boy
“oh you’re autistic? I bet you have a hyperfixation on dinosaurs or mermaids or something.”
I hyperfixate on the theory of the multiverse :)

My spoiler free review of the FNAF Movie
I saw it yesterday and it was really GOOD. Here are a couple of highlights of my movie experience
-It's accurate to the lore with slight changes
-I absolutely loved the characters!
-The Jim Henson company did such a spectacular job with the animatronics that I was unnerved by them in a couple of scenes
-Most of the people in my theater being Gen Z and huge fans of FNAF
-Me saying "WAS THAT THE BITE OF 87!?" during one scene and a couple of people laughing at my response
-Me and my freind laughing our butts off at some of the scenes
-Near the end is where things get really chaotic and suspenseful
I only have a couple of criticisms, so it's a 7/10 for me. Other than that, it was really GOOD. Perfect for any FNAF Fan!
Not only is today my first Tumblr anniversary, but I'm also at that specific age where I can legally drink and gamble!
Thank you all who interacted with me and liked my posts. Here's to a few more years of happiness!
I recently noticed that Sephiroth's personality in the OG is extremely self-centered and that Aerith says that Sephiroth only cares about the planet and himself during her monolog in Chapter 18 of the Remake.
Sephiroth's goal in the OG FF7 was to absorb all the lifestream in order to become a god. He sees himself on a higher level than the rest of humanity. So the dude has a bit of a god complex.
I've also noticed that Sephiroth is technically like a reverse version of Jesus, and this only fuels his god complex even more. Many of Sephiroth's story beats mirror that of Jesus and his supposed miracles as told in the Bible.
Not to mention that in Advent Children,Sephiroth coming back for a second time mirrors that of the second coming of christ.
Jesus sacrificed his life so that all of humanity gets to go to heaven
Sephiroth sacrifices all of humanity so that he can ascend to heaven.
Religious parallels aside, I think it's pretty interesting that Sephiroth acts as some twisted kind of savior in the FF7 universe. But there's one question that's been lingering on my mind that I hope Rebirth can answer. Like how Jesus sacrificed his life, how would Sephiroth sacrifice his
