@AmythestSchaber Never forget: "professionals" are some of the deepest wells of hate. "Professionals" are more likely to be ableist than not

@AmythestSchaber I once heard a well-known scientist, receiving an award, say, "the early days of autism research were veterinary medicine."

@stevesilberman @AmythestSchaber funnily enough, veterinary ABA is very focused on the ethics of it. In contrast to when it's for humans

@AmythestSchaber @stevesilberman Most "professionals" are NT and know nothing about the actual experience of autism.
