I don’t know which behaviorist needs to hear this but:

MENTALLY HEALTHY CHILDREN DO NOT HARM THEMSELVES FOR ATTENTION!!!!!!

They are screaming and crying and begging for more support!!!! And you’re talking about fucking extinction bursts????? They don’t need a behavior plan that gives them prizes for having a safe body, they need connection and support from you!!! They need you!!! Even if they are doing it “for attention” that should show you that they are not well; that they need help, not planned ignoring.

If I may, I must make the gentle request that people consult Wikipedia for basic information about anything.

I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but more and more people coming to me saying they can’t find info about [noun], when googling it yields its Wikipedia entry on the first page.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll gladly say it again: You can trust Wikipedia for general information. The reason why it’s unreliable for academic citations is because it’s a living, changing document. It’s also written by anonymous authors, and author reputation is critical for research paper integrity.

But for learning the basics of what something is? Wikipedia is your friend. I love Wikipedia. I use it all the time for literally anything and everything, and it’s a huge reason why I know so much about things and stuff.

Please try going there first, and then come to me with questions it doesn’t answer for you.
