Summary

This article discusses the evolving approaches to autism intervention, moving away from the solely medical model exemplified by Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Critiques of ABA's intensity, normalization goals, and potential similarities to conversion therapy are highlighted. The article champions a social model, emphasizing strengths-based interventions and fostering social connections. However, it also advocates for a hybrid approach, integrating the social model with a medical understanding of the nervous system's role in autism. Ultimately, the piece stresses the importance of individualized treatment plans that prioritize safety, trust, and the unique needs of each person with autism.
