The truly peculiar thing about Eric Fombonne’s curt dismissal of autistic camouflaging is that as a behaviorist he should recognize that “treatments” like ABA simply teach kids to camouflage. But, then, I suppose as a behaviorist he has a vested interest in not publicly recognizing that fact, else parents inflicting extreme behaviorist” treatments upon their kids come to understand that they might simply be locking up their child in a camouflage cage.
