I am a brand new BT and I was kicked off my first case

I posted this in the ABA sub but I think I might get more useful feedback here. Sorry if this is not allowed as I am not a BCBA. This is about my first ever ABA job, although I have a lot of life experience with autism and experience babysitting autistic kids.

My training was almost entirely online, with no shadowing or experience with real clients. My first client was with a non-English speaking family, and the client has difficult behaviors like screaming for long periods and hitting their sibling. I was given 11 goals to focus on over a 3 hour period and I didn't know how to tackle this. At one point I was told I was supposed to do 60 trials per hour, which is not realistic.

I had a supervisor come in a couple times, but they mostly took care of things themselves rather than show me how to do it. If the client was being especially difficult they would come over and take care of it but I still did not feel equipped to handle it myself. My supervisor also instructed me to focus on rapport building and not take data, but then a month later my manager got upset with me for not taking any data.

After I got in trouble for this this they put a BCBAs on the case, gave me suggestions and re-wrote the behavior plan to make more sense for the client. The initial behavior plan did not make sense in many ways.

I was surprised to learn there had been no BCBA on the case to begin with, I thought it was a requirement. The person I assumed was the BCBA was just a manager, and the manager has not had much communication with me.

I thought things were going well and it seemed like the BCBA wanted to work with me long term, she gave me a lot of advice and resources to help me, so I was surprised when the day after being supervised by my brand new BCBA, I was removed from the case "effective immediately." That one supervised session was the only interaction I ever had with the BCBA before or since. We had no meetings outside session, no email exchanges, no Teams messages, nothing.

I was supposed to have a meeting with the manager and BCBA to discuss me being removed, but the meeting kept getting postponed at the last minute. Currently there are no meetings scheduled. I have been waiting almost three weeks for an explanation and have not received one. They said they are trying to get me more training, so it sounds like I am not fired, but I have received zero communication about why I was removed and what the training is about. Yesterday I reached out to the BCBA and my manager to politely ask for an explanation and to clarify my work status. They clarified I was still working with them but provided no feedback on why I was removed. It's been three weeks and I feel the lack of explanation is not respectful of the work I do.

There are a lot of reasons I could have been removed from the case. For one thing I said I did not feel comfortable physically restraining a client. A mere one day after I got supposed "safety care training" the BCBA said I had to physically restrain the client from hitting their sibling. This is the only time anyone has ever suggested I do this, and this is after I independently raised concerns about sibling violence multiple times, and got no direction on how to address it. Sibling violence was initially not addressed on the behavior plan at all.

The safety care training was a complete joke, it was basically a woman standing there, pretending to punch me really slowly while I block them and then do an "elbow check" whatever that is. I openly said I do not think the training prepared me enough. There is no way I am going to remember this very brief and unrealistic training if I am actively being punched or choked especially by a larger, stronger person.

The safety care training was several hours shorter than it was scheduled to be. I wish I did not have to do it because they will use it as a pretext to give me more dangerous clients but I don't get paid any more to take on a high risk client than a low risk one. I think this training is just a way to cover themselves legally, and I did not learn anything that would actually make me safer. I'm far larger and stronger than a child, I did not learn any restraints or holds in my training and I don't feel comfortable holding back a small child from harming their sibling, especially without any in person instruction on how to do that.

I also did not perform my job perfectly, as I said there was a long period where I was not taking data, although my supervisor openly took responsibility for that issue. I also have not been on time sometimes so that could be the problem, although they indicated it was ok if I stayed late to make up for it, which I did.

TLDR I got very little support initially, and when I finally got substantial support from a real BCBA, I was abruptly removed from the case, given no explanation after weeks, and not given any new assignments. I haven't been an RBT for very long but I'm seriously considering quitting and doing something else. I'm looking for feedback on how this case was handled, if this is "normal," and if there is anything I should do differently in the future assuming I take on a new case.

I'm also curious what I should ask in job interviews to avoid situations like this. I'm pretty sure during my interview I asked about in person versus remote supervision and they said they try to do a certain amount of in person sessions, but they didn't say that supervision would be from another RBT rather than a BCBA.

I also wonder, as an autistic adult if I should officially disclose my diagnosis and request clear communication as an accommodation at this job.
