Watching training videos about autism spectrum disorders for work.

It's very weird considering I'm now going to do behavior therapy with autistic kids, when I have so many adult friends with autism.

I have to imagine that it's better for people like me, who have actual compassion for the kids they work with, to be in this field than others.

I still reserve the right to be critical of ABA therapy methods, which have benefits but can also be problematic.
