ABA: Autistics Being Abused Pin

Tell the world what ABA really is, with this clear and simple t-shirt. In red block letters top to bottom it says "ABA," and in black block letters next to them it explains it stands for "Autistics Being Abused." Many people in the autism community who are NOT autistic themselves, consider ABA to be the best therapy in the world for autistic people. Most "#actuallyautistic" people disagree; at best it's coercive, and at worst it's downright abusive. It doesn't stop people from being autistic; it only forces them into an unnatural mold that causes pain, depression, and sometimes even PTSD later in their lives. When interventions are needed, there are much better therapies available out there that are much more respectful of the client.
