ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis)

A behavioural-science approach used by some autism providers. ABA is genuinely debated: clinicians point to outcome studies for early communication and skills; many autistic adults describe distress from compliance-focused or older ABA. Modern, neurodiversity-affirming ABA exists but varies provider to provider. Soira does not endorse or reject ABA — ask providers about their approach and listen to autistic adults.
