Positive & Negative
Consequences and Punishments

Something that I personally find very interesting and important in the world of autism is the knowledge on positive and negative consequences and punishments. This tends to be more of a controversal topic and that is largely due to the misunderstanding of what exactly those words mean. People tend to think that  positive means good and negative means bad. When it is in fact, not that simple. To read my paper on the topic follow the link below.  To be linked to a flow chart that makes understanding of the concepts and little easier with a visual, follow the addition link!
