Who wrote this rubbish? Doctors aren’t willingly recommending abuse, and most of them refer to specialists.
Doctors aren’t willingly recommending abuse
Boomer doctors aren’t dead yet, and haven’t learned anything since the 70s.
But seriously, think about whatever industry you’re in. Surely there are the ‘old guys’ who haven’t kept up with the progress, but are still around kind of doing a poor job of things. Not all old people, surely, but a fair number. At least, that’s how it is in IT.
That still doesn’t mean they recommend “abuse.” Every doctor in the US must renew their medical license every few years and that means taking continuing medical education classes. Nobody is recommending therapy from the 70s anymore.
Also, it’s still vague about what this “abuse” is so it’s hard to debunk a vague accusation.
ABA therapy. That is the abuse being referred to.
ABA is abuse and very commonly recommended to autistic people (or more often, forced on autistic kids by parents).
I thought it stood for American Bar Association. I still do, since no other definition was offered. I would disagree that the American Bar Association is abuse.
