The person I confused Stephen Barret for is James R. Raidler. He edits Autism Watch which is affiliated to Quackwatch. Autism Watch refers people to a book about "curing" Autism and this same site describes Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA) as "well settled". ABA has been known to use aversives such as hitting, spanking, hair pulling and even electric shocks.
