We have a responsibility as aspiring and actual BCBAs socially to push for change in all industries or settings I love social change behavior analysis I love communities, families and individuals that's why we do what we do to scientifically create the interventions and deliver them with compassion for long lasting change Like your work! ☺️

really silly comments of those bullies of they do not like they have a choice of not watching
Comment from : @ruthlilianatizondequreshi5282

Ryan, this video got me thinking about Goldiamond and his call for behavior analysts to look at the behavior of an individual in relation to the larger social group/context as well as to look at alternative contingencies and the cost/benefit of each (yes, this is a simplification for the purpose of me not droning on and on) It makes me wonder why for these individuals the negative feedback was the more rational choice within this social context Perhaps by understanding that we could facilitate meaningful change in how we communicate with each other Thank you for your continued commitment to the field and dissemination even when it comes at a personal cost to you!

So important
Comment from : @mindfullymallory

Sooo many bullies, so little time to deal when them all Hierarchies, power, money, conflicts of interests, clicks, status Skinner would be ashamed Sad times Focus on working hard and making a difference, rise above as much as possible staying true to your values along the way And most importantly, everyone always needs to remember to not be a dick brPeace ✌️
Comment from : @OnlyGetOneLife

Good for you It’s a good larger question that I think goes with how people live by cultural and institutional rules of what one ought to look or sound like People judge, some worse than others It’s that opposite and hierarchical relations we create with others to support a conceptualized self Keep doing what you do If you enjoy it and spread love, you’re living the dream
Comment from : @ACTinPerspective

This is a real problem in the industry That others bulky and denigrate others in lieu of building up and collaborating we work with such a vulnerable population that experiences isolation and are bullied themselves We should all have more so passion for one another and work together I have seen it at every center I’ve worked at ( I’ve worked at 3) I actually got a second MS and got out of ABA ABA burn out wasn’t working with the kids and families it is the young and ruthless colleagues that immaturely can’t handle the title professionally enough to build a positive community

Powerful -- keep on going Critical thinking and deviations of ideas is what the Behavioral community needs!

Dont reward bad behavior
Comment from : @holidaybranch2567

These nasty, strange, and anti-behaviorist attitudes Ryan speaks of stain our field and deter our shared mission-- to use behavioral principles to improve outcomes for many Too many families, professionals, and other related human service providers whom we collaborate with have experienced these aversive "behaviorists" and the rest of us have to restore a broken trust in our collaborative approach Ryan--keep serving and engaging in our community As hard as it is, try not to take it personally and DON'T REINFORCE!

there are no good or bad people there are only good or bad behaviors long before i went into Behaviorism i was a special ed student and i stood up for not only the DD's in my special ed class but also for one of the smartest in my class of fellow students fast forward some i was bullied by psych students before i went into behaviorism and psychology when i started getting into psychology a psychologist i have been working with who happens to also be a behaviorist nerd like me, suggested REBT and i love it it deals with the should, musts, ought to and perfectionism the university the bullies were from i attended and spoke of REBT I am a male BA student and i am not too much different than you Ryan maybe just a few years older thanks for your channel, i would like to help i have also learned of VT
Comment from : @TickledFunnyBone

I completely appreciate your honesty! This field can be so dogmatic We need to hold our science up to scientific scrutiny and philosophical doubt in order to advance the field! The science is never "settled" but rather continually advances Thank you for what you are doing!!!
Comment from : @ThePurcell09

You do you I just subscribed to our channel and who cares what people think about your swagger You have a perception of the field that is out of the box Let the haters stay in the box and continue to do your thing Love and Light Peace and Blessings to you

Read Karen Pryor's article on being a change maker The good news is that having people openly attack you means that you are half way there to making the change happen!brbr wwwclickertrainingcom/node/157
Comment from : @joanorr9506

Ryan! I am proud to call you a peer! You rock, and I completely understand your experience, and not just from the more toxic aspects of the ABA community I think I will do a response video to add to this, but I do want to add this in brief You are doing amazing things! Keep it up!

Thank you for staying strong, and not giving in to their negativity!
Comment from : @eebrooks6

As a individual with a diagnosis of aspbergers back in 1984 I think I learned a lesson from my ABA sessions I learned it does not matter what you think, feel, need, or want What matters is your actions Trust that others know what you feel, think, and need, because they understand more than you do I think ABA teaches valuable skills, but separates actions and emotions Which leads to complex emotional disorders I was trained to behave and act only in ways that pleased others, and eventually ended up in an abusive relationship I think there needs to be focus on a whole child approach My oldest daughter is on the spectrum, and has had a range of services She has not had ABA We looked into it when she was 12 They told me they would require her to sit on a portable toilet fully clothed for 15 minutes per hour, and work on reducing smearing I put markers and a wipe board on the bathroom wall instead Teaching on any level is a challenge I truly appreciate your efforts, and hope you continue to show caring commitment to change

When I was just starting out as an therapist (before there was even an RBT credential and straight out of college), my company paid for us to go to TXABA and I attended a lecture about the philosophies of ABA My background was in Rehabilitation Studies/English and I honestly had not even been introduced to the some of the hard-line Cooper definitions of "behavior" After the lecture was opened up for questions, I decided to raise my hand and ask him if a thought could be considered a "behavior" Without pause, another attendee turned around, interrupted our speaker, and bluntly responded, "No A Behavior has to be observable and measurable" brI left feeling embarrassed, and as if I didn't have the right to even be IN the field brI've had other experiences of being talked down to in really demeaning ways, mostly when I was just seeking information or a clearer understanding of a concept I've been told that this happens in EVERY field, but I was so surprised to be so forwardly exposed to those type of interactions in a field that I considered evidenced AND empathy-based I don't have a competitive bone in my body so it took several great mentors reinforcing my curiosity and not letting me give up because of petty negativity amongst colleagues I'm finally in graduate school for ABA and looking forward to becoming a BCBA to hopefully change some of those negative stigmas out there about Behavior Analysis and to encourage other young people starting out to weed through the uppity bs that, without conducting an FA, I would hypothesize is mostly socially-mediated negative/attention-seeking behavior brLove what you're doing You are awesome and plz keep it up because I find your videos to be very accessible and amazing!
Comment from : @wisermiears

I've seen this talked about in other fields and industries - and makes sense we will make contact with it in whatever we do, especially if we are doing something HUGE with it - that makes noise, etc Maybe it's their selfishness and childishness Maybe it's feeling like they're getting something ripped from under them by a "greenhorn" (though you've be in field long enough really!) whose created something great and they didn't think of it first brbrEither way - you are doing something that no one is really doing yet - and it's great That makes a lot of sense why people are being "haters" It's sad but true that we may have some people in our field (like in any field) who are just downright buttheads? I just recently read a fascinating reddit conversation about the nasty nature of neurosurgeons Egos are wild, especially in instances of which a field may be more challenging to get into What you stated about what your mentor said about this field reminded me of this

I don’t believe in bad people but I do think lots of people are broken I have a video series all about “those people” you’ve inspired me to add the negative coworker to my list! But my take on bully might help!
Comment from : @animalsamplified930

Don’t let this negativity and these comments affect you Thinking and doing outside the box always encounters resistance to change and hate
