Résumé

L’analyse appliquée du comportement et les études critiques de l’autisme sont généralement supposées ne trouver aucun terrain d’entente sur la question des stratégies de soutien à l’autisme. Partant de la conviction fondamentale selon laquelle aucun soutien ou intervention en matière d’autisme visant à normaliser les personnes autistes ne peut jamais être considéré comme affirmant la neurodiversité, deux chercheurs en études critiques de l’autisme et deux analystes comportementaux BCBA examinent comment et pourquoi l’ABA doit évoluer afin de servir ses principaux clients : les personnes autistes. S’appuyant sur un échange de questions-réponses entre les deux groupes, cet article constitue une collaboration prudente entre ces deux groupes apparemment opposés, dont l’objectif est d’examiner si l’ABA peut évoluer et ce qu’il faudrait pour y parvenir. Cet article, l’un des deux issus de cet échange, s’adresse aux chercheurs en études critiques de l’autisme et appelle à un engagement critique accru avec les factions du secteur de l’ABA qui cherchent à adopter des approches centrées sur l’autisme en matière de soutien à l’autisme. Un article distinct s’adressera à la communauté de l’ABA.

Applied behaviour analysis and critical autism studies are generally assumed to find no common ground on the question of autism support strategies. With the core conviction that no autism support or intervention that seeks to normalise autistic people can ever be considered neurodiversity-affirming, two critical autism scholars and two BCBA behavioural analysts discuss how and why ABA needs to evolve to serve its main clients: autistic people. Building on a question-and-answer exchange between the two groups, this article is a cautious collaboration between these two apparently opposing groups, with the objective of discussing whether ABA can evolve and what it would take to do so. This article, one of two generated by this exchange, speaks to critical autism scholars and urges further critical engagement with those factions of the ABA industry seeking to take autism-centred approaches to autism support. A separate paper will speak to the ABA community.
