Commonly repeated attacks are that ABA is coercive and suppresses individual identity, aligns with the medical model, causes trauma, and, in more extreme cases, constitutes abuse. We illustrate how these claims are based on unfounded criticism and longstanding myths about ABA and stand in direct contrast to the empirical foundations of behavior analysis.

Background: Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) is defined as incidentally found MRI abnormalities that are radiographically indistinguishable from multiple sclerosis (MS) and is considered a presymptomatic disease state of MS. Age <37 years, infratentorial or spinal cord lesions, gadolinium-enhancing lesions on index imaging, and positive cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal bands have been identified as risk factors for conversion to MS. There are no existing guidelines regarding the role of disease-modifying therapy (DMT) in RIS patients.
