Books on Autism for Families and Friends
Does anyone have any personal favorites regarding books on autism (and what it is)? I am looking for recommendations to give parents and other family members, especially those who have just learned a family member has autism. Thank you, in advance, for any suggestions you can provide.

PDUs for RBTs
Hi all, I am excited to learn more and be a part of a great community. With the changes to RBT certification, I am wondering if ABA Clubhouse is thinking of tailoring any trainings to be counted towards RBT PDUs or know of any great places to start looking for resources that don’t cost an RBT an arm or a leg as this transition happens?

RBT PDU events
Hello, all! I have a question regarding PDU requirements for RBTs. It was my understanding that any ACE provider event that a BCBA can attend for CEU credits would also count as PDU credits for RBTs. However, I am now seeing that some organizations are providing events that specifically have PDU listed rather than CEU GEN, ETH, or SUP. Does anyone know if the event has to have PDU listed to count for RBTs? Any guidance is greatly appreciated! (I also plan to reach out to the BACB).

@Abbey Macartney when you search for PDUs, the course listing will specifically have something like "1 BACB® PDU" listed. If it says "CEU" or "GEN" or "SUP" or "ETH," that does not count as they are all CEUs.

Ados-2 administrator for BCBA
I have heard that BCBA cannot diagnose autism but can administer the Ados-2 as long as you partner with a licensed psychologist or refer to a licensed professional who can diagnose. I just want to hear more about your experience on this and is it beneficial for you if you learn about this

I just came across a post on Instagram from "thepsychobabblebcbas" that addresses this question and may be worth exploring. Short answer - they argue that BCBAs should not be diagnosing as that is generally legally restricted to licensed psychologists. They provide additional information from the 2026 CASP/APBA ASD Assessment Guidelines, linked here: https://www.casproviders.org/asd-guidelines and here: https://www.apbahome.net/resources. Hope this helps.

Hi, Victoria! Is this a new behavior, or has it been ongoing? Has medical been ruled out, and do you have any idea of the function of the behavior?

@Victoria Demery do you believe the stim behavior is maintained by automatic reinforcement/sensory? What typically occurs in the environment when he spits - does he receive attention from others, or are demands removed, or does he access anything, such as tangibles? I'm asking these questions to see if you've noticed any patterns related to the potential function(s) of the behavior.
