Homeless transfem, intersex, sw, just used some aid from here to buy train tickets to get to Arizona

Could really use some community support to help me with this move.

(If anyone is possibly in Tuscon and would like to welcome me and help me live?)

"Many behavioral researchers are also practicing clinicians, and they are not generally aware that this dual role inherently constitutes a COI. This is a big problem in my opinion, and means that [ABA] researchers need to be better trained about this topic." Dr. @kbottemabeutel.bsky.social, at TPGA.

Some autistic people, like non-autistic people, can lack empathy. It’s the stereotype about ALL autistics lacking empathy that is wrong.

I have had this discussion with parents...usually goes better than you would expect, especially with the parents of teenagers.
Teenagers can be jerks. It's almost a rite of passage to be a bit of a douche for a time. Poor autism gets blamed for a heap of stuff.

It will always be morbidly funny to me when they found that autistic people had more consistent morality in some studies and they were just twisting themselves in knots trying to frame that as bad.
