Brian Middleton is an Autistic Self-Advocate, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, and the creator of the Bearded Behaviorist, an initiative dedicated to the dissemination of behavior science and the inclusion of trauma-informed care standards in applied behavior analysis and other human services. 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Receiving an autism diagnosis as an adult
  • Why Brian thinks autism can be seen as both a disorder and a neurotype
  • The disagreement between the neurodiversity movement and the field of ABA
  • Why stimming and self regulation are important
  • The need for trauma-informed care in behavior analysis
  • Striving for a more compassionate approach to supporting autistic individuals
  • This episode is part two of our conversation with Brian Middleton, which was originally released on October 22, 2020.
