A few days ago, while scrolling through LinkedIn, I came across a post by an ABA practitioner celebrating a new study published in BMC Psychology. The post described the research as a significant advancement in enhancing the emotional and social skills of autistic children through Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). The enthusiasm was palpable, with hashtags like #AutismResearch and #StayUpdated scattered throughout, emphasising the importance of keeping informed about the “best interventions.”
