My understanding is that ABA mostly involves hurting the children in question until they imitate neurotypicals to the standards of whoever administers it, and does nothing for the actual problems autistic people have, which are primarily things like ‘sensory overload’ and ‘difficulty understanding allistics’ (and, often enough, things like ‘anxiety’ and ‘depression’ which I would expect to be actively worsened by ABA).
