Do you think ABA therapy for autism is abusive?
iuliuspro replied to iuliuspro's topic in Peaceful Parenting
In the 3rd video I thought, this woman has no concern with what this boy is thinking, feeling, what he wants and what hes problems are. If you don't know that how can you help. It seams to me that what they do there is crush the child in a state of obedience so that the parents, teachers, other people are happy, so they don't face the real issue and try to really help. Wow that is so interesting. You say you worked with 2 children. How were they different? There were times when you couldn't reason with them and had to physically restrain them? (In the project that I am involved a specialist said they needed a space in the room where they could practically jump on top of a child and pin him down). I don't know if the situation is so sever but to me an adult jumping on a child and restraining them is terrifying and I don't think it can have a positive impact. And thank you for the info!- 10 replies

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEoW5rfNXM4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWscK_Lb1W8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLBLnNxzftM Above you have 3 links, first is an autistic woman talking about her experience as a teen with ABA therapy for autism, second it's a mother training her child obedience and third is an ABA session I found on youtube. What do you think? Is it ok what is going on in this therapy sessions? As an architect I am designing a therapy center for autistic children and this space must contain a space for this kind of therapy. I am starting to be uncomfortable placing such a space in this project even though is mandatory. All responses are useful but if someone on this forum has autism and went under ABA therapy, I would like to here your opinion on this!

O thanks for the detailed answer. I'm sorry that living there is not as interesting as just visiting once in awhile, Everyone should enjoy a beautiful place like that even if he is born there. As for visiting, I wish I could afford it, for now I will remain closer to Europe, Greece is very cheap these days, this year I went there and spent only 300 euros in 8 days, transport, accommodation, food and fun. If I were to come to Oahu I would spend at least 1300 euros on the plane tickets alone, maybe one day

Aloha Jason, how would you rate living in Hawaii? I always thought that having those beautiful beaches so near is just beautiful.

You have to analyse the cost benefit of your decision. Are you required to have a degree to get a job in the field you want? and the second question; Can you get that information from somewhere else? If 1 is false and 2 is true my advice is don't go to college especially if you will be in debt. If 1 is true and 2 is false my advice is to go If you really love it and you have a good chance to get a well paying job after college. You can get a lot of information about IT on the internet for free or for a couple of bucks, you have Udemy.com, corsera.org etc. If unsure don't lock yourself into debt. All the best!

I would take the Critical Thinking course, if they teach the tools with which we reason, that will help me in every situation. My strategy will be to take the courses that are useful for developing a mechanism for thinking in every situation. I would avoid history and the like where you have only facts, I can google that. I would also look up the teacher of the said course and see what kind of person is he, if he is passionate ok if not, I am sorry but even if the coarse sounds good it will most likely be a disaster. I hope you make a good choice, I am glad that you can choose all your courses when I was in collage I had 4 courses that I choose from 20 in a year.

New Stefan Molyneux Website - Looking for collaborators
iuliuspro replied to delete_me's topic in Promoting Freedomain
Yes the design look good, but here are some observations from my point of view: On the first page, the name Stefan Molyneux should not exceed the diamond. The menu button looks very small and I think that for older people or people with poor eyesight it won't be found. Also I would move the Menu button in the middle of the big diamond where now is an X. If you have the menu button there it will be immediately in focus as your eye is drawn there. What I like about the first page is the minimum information and clarity. I see a man, I understand that he is the main character of the site. He is at a conference and has a good posture. I think that will look good to a first time viewer. The other pages look a little bit dull, I don't find a rapid focus, a lot of text, often more clusters of text that is hard to read, in a world of 3 seconds attention span... I personally would put an image alongside just one quote that has larger font. That image I would select to be emotional charged, like some facial expression that was linked with the quote. From this links to the books etc. I think that the page with 4 squares is a lot and I would prefer max 2 columns. I don't know how the site is supposed to work, if it's the scroll type of website, I think the layout should be more fluent and linked from top to bottom. If these are individual pages it's ok. I like the font and overall style, it's classy. Maybe on the first page I would make the background more saturated, maybe. This is a small analysis from the top of my head and I hope it helps. I love that you and others have initiatives and do stuff. I always lacked in that department. I would love to collaborate on the visual design part and the overall impact of the site, if you find my analysis useful we can collaborate -
Seeing other people happy, impressed and astonished with my work is always a good motivator for me, I seem to have better ideas and higher spirit when people around me are friendly and nonjudgmental. I work best with happy people that try to solve problems and never blame others from the start, the attitude counts. I am rarely motivated by internal mechanisms, but rather externally from seeing the good I do for others. I don't know if that is a good thing, probably not because in a difficult environment I tend to do nothing and be unhappy like I sabotage myself and my growth so that others suffer for the way they treat me. And that is never good, but I don't tend to stay in that environment because I reach a point when my emotional state determines me to leave.

Nice to meet you all, my name is Iulian I'm from Romania I send you the following message! I hope I can learn a lot from you, I don't have a lot of experience in debates or in philosophy and logic. Most of my life I've been spoon fed conclusions at home and at school, so everything I learnt about critical thinking and logic was me and the internet plus some curiosity. I remember the first time I discovered a podcast made by Stefan. I was looking through youtube and asking myself if there is something important there, If someone was talking about other stuff other then comedy and cats. I started actively looking for something, psychology, philosophy, politics, etc. I was lucky to find one of his videos because I almost lost hope. I ended up on channels that talk about philosophy, about history more than philosophy, many where to boring and lacked structure. I thought philosophy is boring and useless, I even wondered why do we have it, it doesn't seem to bring something tangible to the table. O well when I saw Stefan, I knew he was a good speaker, concise, logical, fluent, and humorous. I could understand what he was saying and it was easy, even though no one seemed to talk about this topics. You know the feeling that you had as a child when you learnt something new in a field that you had no background in, yes that is exactly the feeling, and it's thrilling but also scary that in my 23-24 I discover that I am ignorant in the core, in the most fundamental part of knowledge, essential part, and that was very hard for me to grasp. After that when you see that people around you are also ignorant in this field... It's hard. Furthermore after I understood some parts, the logic behind it, I started to debate and found out that the majority didn't even want to think about it, they didn't even thought it was important to discuss. I found no excitement, no curiosity, I can surely say that after 99% talks no one followed up the next day and said I made some research of my own and this is my conclusion. I had friends that didn't even know what anarchy meant and they knew it was bad (and didn't bother to check after we talked). So I hope that on this forum I can participate in some meaningful talks. I never been in a place where the concentration on anarcho-capitalist, libertarian, voluntaryist, atheist is this high. I am curious to see how that impacts debates and my personal emotional state. And I like to eat "sarmale" google it!
