This week I heard of an instance where an ABA therapist got offended at a something his autistic client did and quit over the autistic teen not following directions.
The autistic teen had been asked to wait at a library, looks like that teen hung around for a while, and then decided to just walk back to his home alone after a while.
I want to ask, who has the diagnosis here, who is the professional "behavior-therapist" here who is supposed to help shape behaviors instead of walking off in a huff.
Why have the word "behavior" in applied-behavior-therapy if you don't want to even help with or deal with behavior in the first place.
