Kaelynn Partlow seems like a trojan horse to make assimilation, "treatment," and ABA more palatable to a neurodivergent audience.

She pushes assimilation as the gold standard.

She pushes this narrative about autistic catatonia, which includes things like repetitive motions and echolalia, as potentially fatal. I looked up some of the treatments people try for this condition. They include memory-impairing ECT.

She has slowly been more pro-ABA and I recently found out she is an ABA therapist herself. None of the people she keeps around seem to have monotone voices or physical stims.
