Language disorder #nonverbal#SEVEREautism requires More direct FOCUSED research. Clearly the disorder’s catastrophic level disability so🦄Land make believe comes in😢similar to how desperate people get sucked into psychic$. Gains are slow but DO happen in #evidencebasedtherapy.
There also needs to be some general awareness about #apraxia so FC can stops pretending EVERYONE with #SevereAutism#nonverbal has it and that’s why they can’t communicate. A small % ASD do have apraxia, but that also requires ACCURATE diagnose & #EvidenceBasedTherapy
Never ceases to amaze me the ignorance towards communication disorders ASD. There is a small percent #apraxia/Motor issue speech. However the rest have a receptive expressive language disability. All children disabled in speech should have access to #evidencebasedtherapy
Notice how there’s not a lot of talk about meltdowns in autism community? NDM wants to move as far away as possible from disorder ⭐️behavioural aspects⭐️ of ASD. #Evidencebasedtherapy
Today our team’s discussing how to involve young people’s voices. One of the best things we can do for young people's mental health is to listen to what they themselves have to say.
Look out for more from us on how youth voice can close the gap in young people's mental health 👀
1/We need to meet the Child where their at &build skills 2/Often we have to pull a child out of a world of isolation&teach interaction 3/#Autism IS a #Neurodevelopmental Spectrum DISORDER disability 4/DEFICITS in communication have to be addressed with #evidencebasedtherapy
Karen Guldberg: Principles of good autism practice:
1. We need to change, not the child
2. See the world from the perspective of the autistic person
3. See autism as a difference not a disorder
4. Focus on strengths

👇🏻This! Notice “non-speakers” sneak in distain for #evidencebasedtherapy? NO accident Militant/just a difference/not disorder/neurodiversity lobbyist use the FAKE letter board people to claim #nonverbals are in line with their beliefs😡 FC get to uses NDM for client recruitment😡
Interestingly, some of the most vicious attacks on FC critics come not from parents (whose anger is understandable) but from fully fluent ppl claiming to be as autistic as those who are subjected to FC.
To keep up this charade, these folks need the rest of us to believe in FC.
Easy access to therapies would help many. It shouldn’t be a struggle for any person with autism/any age/to have access to ALL #evidencebasedtherapy#Autism is a serious disorder! #Neuroplasticity
And stringing content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives) together isn’t syntax!!!
Syntax includes structural groupings, function words like “the,” and tense markings like “ed”.
HATE! Psychic🤣😭😡representation="The Reason I Jump" book. Suggestion comes up often in EVERY Autism group😡for those with #LanguageDisability#SevereAutism kids, don't fall for it! Stop letting FC charlatans or disgruntled parents SPEAK for your CHILD! #EvidenceBasedTherapy
"The Reason I Jump" may not say exact "I am disgusting", but the book has passages where it appears that Naoki feels bad for being who he is. He was subjected to FC throughout the book, so it's not possible to know his independent thoughts because of facilitator influence.
