I only called a meltdown a behavior because this is how every psychologist , behavior therapist and teacher who has evaluated and worked with my son has referred to meltdowns . Believe me I know they are something he cannot control and it breaks my heart to see him become so frustrated and overwhelmed . My point in my post was , ABA has helped him learn to communicate so now for example instead of having an hour long screaming violent meltdown because he doesnt like the way his shirt feels , he will say to me ' mommy I dont like that shirt ' and we choose a different shirt and a meltdown doesnt happen and my son is happy . How is this a bad thing ? !?!<| sep |> Wow thanks for this ! <| sep |> How dare somebody believe something different than you ! Edit Y ' all are getting hung up on stuff that doesn ' t matter . If you like watching their videos , watch their videos . If you don ' t watch their videos , give them a try , you might like them . I couldn ' t give the teeniest , tiniest fuck what any of them believe or do , I enjoy watching their videos and am going to continue to do so . Don ' t let something completely irrelevant change your opinion of their videos .
