And yes, at one "snakepit school," autistics are still being shocked for being... autistic. &lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://autisticconjectureoftheday.blogspot.com/2005/08/child-abuse-as-therapy.html" title="http://autisticconjectureoftheday.blogspot.com/2005/08/child-abuse-as-therapy.html"&gt;autisticconjectureoftheday.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H2&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.neurodiversity.com/library_screams_1965.html"&gt;
Child Abuse as Therapy&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;For those of you "In the Know"  discrete trials, or the Lovaas Method, is the only "approved and proven" method of achieving "progress" with autistic individuals.  Approved by the state for funding, that is.  And proven because, by the very mechanistic nature of the process, data is easily collected, plotted, and crunched.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The following article, 40 years old, hails the arrival of this therapy in typical 60s style - science is God, and man can overcome anything that nature gives us.  And how, you might ask, do we overcome?  With electric shock, yelling, and physical violence.  Of course.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;A quick click on the above title will take you to the site with not only this article, but the disturbing pictures that accompany it.  The rage and venom portrayed in the faces of the "therapists" speaks for itself.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/autism+awareness+month/" rel="tag"&gt;autism awareness month&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/april/" rel="tag"&gt;april&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/autistic+spectrum/" rel="tag"&gt;autistic spectrum&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/aba/" rel="tag"&gt;aba&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/lovaas+method/" rel="tag"&gt;lovaas method&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://autisticconjectureoftheday.blogspot.com/2005/08/child-abuse-as-therapy.html</clipSource><pubDate>Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:27:29 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
