Work, autism 

Day 3 of training and DAMN am I glad I'm working for this particular company.

They really care about the intersections of ABA and human rights. They actually listen to autistic ppl about their experiences. They emphasize consent and teaching useful skills, rather than forcing normative behavior.

I'm learning a lot, about my profession but also generally understanding autism and having empathy. I think this job will help me be a better friend and communicator.
