A közelmúlt játékain balszerencse kísérte a magyar lovasokat: a díjlovaglásban Európa-bajnoki bronzérmes Dallos Gyula a megszerzett kvóta ellenére nem utazhatott el Sydneybe, mert Aktion nevű lova már 19 éves, vagyis túl öreg volt az olimpiai induláshoz. Aktionnal az előző két játékokon is problémák adódtak, Barcelonában belázasodott, Atlantában pedig az állatorvosi vizsgálat során sántának nyilvánították, így nem engedték rajthoz állni.

háromszor baszott ki Aktion a magyar lovassal <3

Friend how did you discover BTS? I dipped my toe into it through my younger sister a few years ago but didn’t fully immerse myself until quarantine.

soooo it's a little bit embarrassing, haha. my friend kayla discovered them a few years ago, and asked if i was interested in getting into them too, but i said no at the time.

(fun fact: i distinctly remember watching the dna music video when it came out, but i did Nothing about it lmao. i only remembered bits and pieces of it for AGES—there were a bunch of guys singing in Not English, tons of color, one guy saying "i LOVUSS, somethingsomething true LOVASS," a guy stepping aside to reveal Another Guy who did a hushing finger)

i actually got into them in october, because cookie run kingdom, the mobile game i've been sinking all my time into, was doing a collab with them! i managed to get all seven of them before the event ended (JUST BARELY, it was a little scary, i didn't know if i'd get hobi), and kayla has been a HUGE help as i navigate the literal mountain of content the guys have put out over the last decade 😅

I was having a conversation about Ty with @ilikebooks8 how odd it is that so many hardcore Kit stans and people who claim to ship kitty will often be the first to say shitty things about Ty and commit ableist microaggressions against him and the people, like me who defend him. We were talking about why this is and I brought up the point that many allistic people view autistic people only as extensions or even the property of the people who love us.

I said that "people only like Ty in terms of what he can do for Kit. Furthermore, people only like Ty when he behaves. When he is sweet and innocent and talking about animals and stuff then it's great, he's a good love interest and all that. But when Ty flies out? When Ty starts misbehaving? When he starts huring Kit? Nope then all of a sudden he's a problem now just like the rest of us." Because people view Ty through the same lenses they view autistic people in the real world.

@ilikebooks8 brought up an excellent point as well and that's how whenever everyone's favorite white cishet boy screws up everythings fine, but make it a POC like Alastair or Ariadne or when it's the autistic character then god forbid. I've already brought this up before, but still. She also said that and I quote "people treat Ty like he's some sort of animal that needs to be trained and disciplined for making a mistake."

This is true, but I feel like again it points to unconcious bias in our society. And it didn't come out of nowhere. It mostly came from ABA. Tw for mentions of ABA therapy and ableism. The creator of ABA Ivar Lovass also created gay conversion therapy. He made this following statement about the point of ABA.

You see, you start pretty much from scratch when you work with an autistic child.  You have a person in the physical sense – they have hair, a nose and a mouth – but they are not people in the psychological sense.  One way to look at the job of helping autistic kids is to see it as a matter of constructing a person. You have the raw materials, but you have to build the person.”

They are not people in the psychological sense. You have to build the person. Great guy /s. The point of showing you this quote is that this fundamental idea created by ABA has poisoned society. I cannot help but look back at my interactions with the hardcore Kit stans who dismissed my pain and told me I was overreacting. Told me to consider Kit's circumstances. You know what I heard?

"They are not people in the psychological sense. You have to build the person." You wanna twist and mold me into something easier to deal with. Same with Ty. But I won't let you.

You can't build Ty from the ground up. He is already whole.

Tldr: Stop saying you ship Kitty if you don't respect Ty. Stop dehumanizing him and devaluing his emotions and experiences. ABA is harmful stop trying to basically push it onto Ty and change his behavior so it's more acceptable to you.

I didn’t write a 8 page college paper on the damage ABA therapy does to autistic children (yes even the modern ‘nice’ versions) to see ABA apologism in the autism tags.

This is your one and only warning that it’s an immediate permablock if I hear you making excuses for ABA. I’m sorry to tell you this, but Lovaas’ damaging beliefs about how autism should be treated have their influence in even the most watered-down version of ABA. There is no good thing that you could get from such a therapy that you couldn’t get from a different therapy that doesn’t place it’s highest priority on how the patient looks to other people over how the person feels. Modern ‘nice‘ ABA therapies still place correcting ‘stereotypy’ (stimming), pushing for eye contact, pushing for verbal speech as the highest form of communication no matter the discomfort to the child, and other things that are being asked for the sake of the neurotypical around the child instead of for the sake of the child. Look up the websites of a few ABA therapists in your area if you don’t believe me. I did. The things the therapy prioritizes didn’t magically become less damaging because they stopped hitting the kids.

Regardless of how a ABA therapy you randomly pick out of a hat runs, if ABA is allowed to exist in any form the less problematic versions will be used as a cover for the abusive ones. I’m still hearing personal accounts of people being shouted at and having water sprayed in their face during ABA therapy despite claims that they ‘don’t do that anymore’. ABA International (a professional organization for therapists) had a panel making excuses for the judge rotenberg center (the place electrocuting children in the name of ABA therapy until the device was banned by the FDA I don’t think even a year ago). I was at their fucking convention protesting in the summer of 2018. This therapy has been the cause of so much physical and mental suffering that we should definitely be throwing the baby with the bath water, especially since there are other therapies that don’t have a decades-long history of abusing disabled children.

“But my ABA therapy isn-“

Maybe it isn’t ABA. ABA is a specific therapy with a specific purpose of molding autistic children to look as neurotypical as possible and specific practices that are damaging towards autistic people. If a therapy is genuinely prioritizing the well-being of the autistic client there’s a decent chance it has nothing to do with the therapy lovass invented. Why it would choose to bear the name of a therapy with a history of child abuse, however, is beyond me. If a therapy looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and is calling itself a duck, for the safety of children I’m going to have to assume it’s a fucking duck.

I’m not friends with ABA therapists. I’m not friends with people who are friends with ABA therapists. I’m not friends with people who want to cover for ABA therapists. If you don’t like it leave now because you are not welcome.
