Those things, a lot of people, um, parents that have, um, neuro neurodivergent children. When they hear token economy, they think ABA therapy and they think ABA is really crappy. ABA has a purpose. That's it. That's the biggest thing I could tell you. I'm not an ABA therapist, but the principles that are behind it.

And so if you can use those principles in a realistic setting for your child, such as a you have 15 minutes, and then we're going to do this timers and everything like that, and find a stopping place.
