Nearly all behavioral and cognitive techniques have proved useless for me.

Let’s review...

They involve these executive functions….
deciding, switiching course, comparing and evaluating… naturally even more.

They also require establishing new habits…

Superior intereoception…

and we haven’t even tackled overcoming the ruts that traumatic stress create in the brain.

What these techniques did for me?

Transferred wealth to the professional class.

Nothing more.

Oh...

And did I mention that consistency & persistance are laughable for this spoonie?

Naturally, ABA, PBS, XYZ...

make absolutely NO SENSE WHATSOEVER to this #AdutisticAdult #AutisticElder of 70 years...

Thinking a podcast...

"ABA, PBS, CBT and Other Myths #ActuallyAutistic Folks See Thru"

or some SEO-friendly version of that....

OK...

gonna touch the Third Rail of Autistic Advocacy...

are autistic therapists & coaches of value... without ongoing, wrap-around support...

For all of us... for most of us... for any of us?

Do lists, rules, systems, habits work for neurotypes with diminished executive functioning?
