Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to help BCBAs realize the importance of ensuring Autistic clients as active leads rather than passive recipients in intervention services. This essay will also explore personal experiences of the author (an Autistic woman) as it relates to the importance of neurodiversity and as it applies to assent, autistic autonomy, and social validity. This essay will discuss and examine theoretical underpinnings, which validate that it is essential to include the client in all interventions. It is important that BCBAs develop a professional repertoire involving the Autistic community as key stakeholders in order to determine what should and should not be targeted for intervention and to help facilitate neurodiverse directives.
