Conversion therapy is literal nazi science, and we should also be calling it that. Lovaas' ABA framework was the framework Rekers built on, with Lovaas' help, applying the ableist torture schema to a presumed-queer toddler. LGBT and autistic conversion therapy come from the same nazi source. Lovaas was LITERALLY a card-carrying Nazi, arrested for it. He was in Quisling's political party.
