Ban Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapy designed to reduce Autistic Stimming

Petition Details

The Government should ban Applied Behaviour Analysis Therapy (“ABA”), for the purpose of reducing soothing “stimming” behaviours in people with autism spectrum disorder.

Additional Information

Reports indicate that people with autism spectrum disorder call ABA therapy “abusive” or “traumatic” and some may have c-PTSD as a result.

Furthermore, research from the US Department of Defence concluded that ABA is not significantly improving outcomes.
