Continual attempts to mask autistic traits may have negative effects on a person’s mental health. Studies—like one published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders in 2020—have linked masking to anxiety and depression, as well as to an increased risk for suicide…”</p><p>Watson, Stephanie.

Is the child traumatized? Are they tired? Angry? Sleepy? Asking ‘why’ is just a compassionate way to deal with another human being, especially a child.” Roberts also opposes Applied Behavioral Analysis International’s (ABAI) support for the use of shock therapy by a residential center in Massachusetts. (The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned the use of shock-therapy devices in March 2020.) “Not only does ABAI allow for the use of punishment, it offers guidance for exactly how to punish human beings in its code of ethics,” she says. The concept of “training” children with autism to present as neurotypical is artificial and unnecessary at best, and traumatic at worst, says Roberts. “‘Training’ social skills means that neurodivergent people must conform to unrealistic, obscure, and often confusing neurotypical standards through masking,” Roberts explains…</p><p>Volker, Nancy. <a href="https://leader.pubs.asha.org/do/10.1044/leader.FTR2.25102020.52/full/">“When SLP Meets ABA.” ASHA LeaderLive.</a> Oct. 1, 2020.
