I had to.... sorry, I just had to - go look for the BNP response. It's hilarious! Some titbits: It's sad, very sad, when I see individuals who are my own people break down in tears when they realize that there is a well organised almost impossible to beat plan against their own destruction. Those no...

I suppose it depends on what people believe help, something given, should cover and that in turns depends on what society an individual wishes to live in. For me, I want to live in a society where those helped are done so in a way that maintains their self respect and encourages their desire/self be...

This thread kind of reminds me of the polarity of stories of survival, some dark, some heroic, some compassionate just for it's own sake and others cruel equally just for it's own sake. It makes me think about people that shelter those who're being hunted, putting themselves, family and community in...

I've not forgotten this i've just been stupidly busy. I did read the links though and i've heard of triple p, just not as aba. Do you distiguish at all between any behavioural priciple being applied and aba?

Sen - self, not sure that's Nottingham but you hear it a lot.

Int/Tint - isn't.

Owt - something/anything

Nowt - nothing

Cob - a bread roll the shape of an old cobble stone.

Uhmmmm.... 'The Packie Shop' is used round these parts (not by me!) but has nothing to do with an abbreviation of package.

Snap - a packed lunch, from the snap shut tins once used to carry it!

Mardy - sulky, petulant behaviour.

Agin - against

I should add - should have added instantly, that the above highlighted quote was something that I believed would not be forthcoming when writing that without it I flat did not believe I was talking to someone working in ABA. There's nothing in that description that fails to ring true and I no longer...

This makes no sense, but sure. I've done work with autistic kids, for example, I worked with one kid in a school where my main job was simply to find out what kind of reinforcement would work best in a token system set up by the teacher. So over the course of a couple of sessions I set up a prefere...

BTW - I didn't post bollocks fast enough but posted prior to reading or it happens again!

OK - maybe it is me, typically something where the person on a tangent can't see. I don't know. What I'll try to do is go back a few paces and explain where I'm coming from. I'm not against ABA but I believe it is powerful and requires in depth knowledge to apply well, knowledge that's in short supp...

Dunno... but if I catch you can I fit one?

We haven't mentioned Watson and Little Albert either.
