Regarding Val’s never ending posts about how Progress never stops for Jessica, and how far she’s come since vlogging, getting better at learning new things everyday. This is such a far cry from the truth! In actuality the NORMAL brain reaches its cognitive peak at around 35, then around 45, sometimes earlier, our cognitive ability to remember, understand, learn and apply new things starts to dimish. It’s the circle of life! Shame on Val for not allowing trained professionals and outside resources to help Jessica reach her full potential at an early age, being the best she could be. The place where Jessica stands today will not improve, decline is inevitable. If not for Val’s selfishness and know it all attitude, Jessica’s life may have been different, better, she may even be likeable. As it stands now she hasn’t even heard the word no, taught pronunciation, table manners, simple hygiene, how to say please or thank you, not to constantly interrupt, how to read Braille, even counting and ABC’s .which could have opened up her world, how Disney vacationing and getting your own way no matter what , because you’re misunderstood, is the most important thing in life and something everyone around you should accept. i would be surprised if she knows her address and telephone #. To Val I say stop all the BS about Jessica’s improved capabilities, being deprived food, abused over and over by the system. At 36 it’s too late for change. That ship has sailed. Just like you’ve failed Jess, you’ve failed Hannah and Madison as well. You never gave them a chance.
