ABA-PBS-The-Big-Autism-Conversation-Dr-Teresa-Mulhern-PhD-Researcher-Lecturer-BCBA-D-Ep8

"Our idea of what is neuro-affirmative practice today is going to be different in 20 years time, because that is something that should be co-constructed across populations, rather than being dictated by a small few.” 

 

Dr Teresa Mulhern

 

BA. MSc. PhD. BCBA-D

 

Teresa speaks from both from her personal autistic identity and her professional standing as a researcher and lecturer.

 

While some might consider there to be a juxtaposition between the concepts of ABA and the nature of Autistic people in the neurodiversity paradigm: Theresa elegantly melds together those oppositions. Its a thoroughly fascinating initial conversation to experience. 

 

We hope to converse with Dr Mulhern again soon...

 

      “One of the big changes that needs to happen

                        in behaviour analysis is learning [a] level of

                                          self-reflection and self-awareness”.

        "I want to change ABA. "

"I don't know how or what yet. I want to know enough about it .  

Then I can bring knowledge from my childhood or my adult life as an autistic person; enabling progress.

I want to change it somehow, even though I don't know what that change is yet." 

                   "Is that going to happen? "

"Well,  the short answer is the opportunity is there for that discourse.  Rather than dance around the houses, I'm going to say yes, but I just don't know how long it will take."

 

The big conversation we need to have in autism is the one about behaviourism.

Our project here is opening channels of communication.
