I can’t share the details just yet, as I’m waiting until both parties safely receive their items (because integrity matters in every exchange). But the moment everything is confirmed, I’ll post the full reveal.

A seriously exciting leap toward our ultimate goal: securing and donating an AAC device to a non-speaking autistic person.

And let me just say this…

This one is a BIG move forward.

A vertical cosmic-themed meme with a deep purple and blue star-filled background. White text at the top reads, “ABA is evidence-based,” followed by “ABA is widely used,” and “ABA is institutionally protected.” Below, the text continues, “None of that answers whether it is just.” At the bottom of the image, a glowing human profile faces left with a radiant, galaxy-like brain emitting light. A black footer bar reads, “Live Life Âuthentically,” followed by “© 2026 Scott R. Frasard, PhD.”

Tools. Tech. Gear. Collectibles. Services. Skills. Anything that helps level this up.

If you’ve got something that could move this forward, I want to hear from you. Don’t overthink it. This is about momentum.

Your trade doesn’t need to be sentimental. It doesn’t need a backstory. It just needs value. Something that can help move this exchange closer to an AAC device.

This book just happens to be the current step. And now it’s ready to move again.

I am looking for the next trade!!! Who's in?

That story matters, but it isn’t the point.

The point of this project is simple: to trade up until I can secure an AAC device for someone who needs it. Every exchange is a step toward that goal.

The Autistic Exchange Project update you’ve been waiting for!

I traded a pair of old hinges for a book. Thank you, Ellie Eastlund!

If you’ve been quietly watching, wondering whether to step forward, this is the invitation.

The first exchange has taken place.

👀 Any guesses?

I’m taking a day or two to write about why this trade matters before sharing the full story.

This isn’t about flipping objects. It’s about trust, creativity, and collective belief in what we can build together.

Something meaningful just changed hands.

The first trade in the #AutisticExchangeProject is complete... and I’m holding the item now!

A four-panel “expanding brain” meme on a black background. Each panel shows a side profile of a human head with a brain that becomes progressively brighter and more electrified. Panel one shows a dim blue brain with the text, “I’m trying to understand the official report.” Panel two shows a more active brain with glowing areas and the text, “I’m watching footage that contradicts it.” Panel three shows an even brighter brain with warm light and the text, “I’m feeling the weight of another life lost.” Panel four shows an intensely glowing, lightning-filled brain with the text, “My nervous system can’t unhear this.” Below the panels, a caption reads, “Autistic processing isn’t about overreaction — it’s cognitive dissonance experienced as pain.” At the bottom are the words “Live Life Authentically” and a copyright line reading “© 2026 Scott R. Frasard, PhD.”

Given the recent shootings that have taken place in Minnesota, I wanted to express something that has been on my mind.

The goal is simple and specific: to publish this book professionally and independently, without institutional pressure to soften its critique.

If you’re interested in learning more about the project, or supporting it in whatever way feels right, you can find the campaign here:

This GoFundMe campaign supports the final publishing costs for my next book, "Burning the Behaviorist Blueprint: Exposing and Dismantling the ABA Empire." I’m nearing completion and aiming to publish by the end of March 2026.

I want to express my deep gratitude to that person, whoever they are. Thank you! Your generosity means more than the dollar amount. It’s an affirmation that this work matters and that independent, autistic-led critique deserves to exist.

A two-panel meme. In the top panel, two large red buttons are labeled ‘Ask clarifying questions’ and ‘Assume bad intent and get defensive,’ with a hand hesitating over them. In the bottom panel, a sweating, anxious person wipes their forehead, labeled ‘Non-autistic listener.’ A footer reads ‘Live Life Authentically’ with a copyright notice.

A graphic criticizing behavior-based definitions of learning. At the top, text reads, “ABA says the behavior was learned.” Below is a clipboard checklist with green checkmarks next to items reading: “Followed directions,” “Made eye contact,” “Sat quietly,” and “Completed task.” At the bottom, bold text states, “But learning without meaning, is just conditioning.” The footer reads, “Live Life Authentically” and “© 2026 Scott R. Frasard, PhD.”

A split illustration contrasting control versus understanding in learning. On the left, two hands hold a chain wrapped around a locked wooden chest labeled “OUTCOMES,” with text above reading, “ABA values control.” On the right, a person kneels beside an open chest labeled “INSIGHT,” filled with glowing light and coins, holding up a lit lightbulb as if discovering an idea. Text below reads, “Real learning unlocks understanding.” At the bottom: “Live Life Authentically” and “© 2026 Scott R. Frasard, PhD.”
