Ep. 40 - The Dark Side: A Complicated History

Today’s episode is inspired by some, not so positive, characters from the history of neurodivergence. There is no evidence to support a link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a predisposition to delinquency, crime, or "evil" behavior, however in the quest to advance understanding of neurodivergence, treatment, and lives there have been a lot of mis-steps and horrible approaches. Do you know the history of the puzzle piece? ABA? We’ll give you some background to further understand and make your own decisions. https://embrace-autism.com/misunderstood-and-mistreated/https://neuroclastic.com/invisible-abuse-aba-and-the-things-only-autistic-people-can-see/?amp https://intheloopaboutneurodiversity.wordpress.com/2019/03/20/the-ableist-history-of-the-puzzle-piece-symbol-for-autism/#auddyhotties #AuDHD #neurodivergent #podcasters Like, subscribe, and listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Amazon Music, to get more chill AuDHD content!
