    Hi @raxa, hope this finds you well. This hasn't been discussed on the community before, but I did find this resource on 'how to find a good ABA therapist'. It may also be worth contacting the National Autistic Society (NAS) to see if they can advise.

    Hi,

    I don't know if you're aware, but ABA is something that's causing a lot of concern amongst autistic people as a whole and it's possibly something worth considering seriously before going down this route.

    I've found multiple resources - pieces about adult experiences with ABA and their concerns, on both the Autistic Allies Blogspot and on Asperations of an Autistic Family. Perhaps it's worth keeping these in mind. 

    It may be worth speaking with Autistic UK and looking at their resources in regards to this, too.

    Also raising concern about ABA. There are many very good ways of improving life and skills.  Working with autistic advisers to check for sensory difficulties, for example, and the best ways to improve communication.  I would recommend the links above before trying to find someone.
