I have had exposure to ABA but mostly through the lens of the parents with children using ABA and it was mostly positive. Being able to take their kids out and put them in the car for the first time without a breakdown after starting therapy was a major achievement in their eyes.
I am just curious though about what you limits are? Isn't everyone being put into a box? Isn't that just being part of society? I don't know what your experiences are, but probably isn't there a spectrum of ABA from good to bad just like there is a spectrum of all types of interventions and parenting from being overbearing to too lenient?
Just genuinely interested in that it seems like being part of society unless you are part of the 1% has a big aspect of conformity and "fitting in" to society even if that isn't what you want to do. That historically to me has just been known as growing up.
