I’ve thought about this and tried to figure out what it is that makes these people so disgustingly different from other autism families who are on social media. I even have more respect for Fathering Autism

than I do the AI gang. They, at least, seem to have gotten the best care for their child and worked very, very hard with her. She has come such a long way. Also Jordyn’s summer shirt project. That whole family is so upbeat. Her progress has been phenomenal. Their videos are short and always with a positive message. I could go on with more examples, but won’t. The problem, as I see it, is that Jessica cannot do anymore than what she’s doing as far as actual skills go. Part of her BRAIN is MISSING for crying out loud!!! She IS partially blind, she DOES lack a little cooordination. Key here to me is that she has a few autistic traits, but mostly she’s just severely developmentally delayed and that’s not going to change. What HAS changed in the 3 years I’ve been watching them is the imploding dysfunctional family structure surrounding her. It would take a complete moron to not see that Val has been the captain of this misery ship for all of Jessica’s life, and she appears just about to blow. Why is she so desperate to keep this s*** s*** up?? They can’t be making much money from it. So, they shove Jessica, with literally half a brain, out there to schlep around looking blank, uttering her favorite phrases (Zoe just don’t need it), etc. ad nauseum, scratching and sniffing, shuffling cards and REPEATEDLY stood at that damned counter while they coach her with stir stir stir salt salt salt pepper pepper pepper because that’s about ALL she or they can do. They can’t show real progress because there isn’t any. They can’t show her getting any helpful therapies because there aren’t any. They are about the most miserable bunch of slugs I’ve ever seen. Val is downright mean and nasty and acts like she was a spoiled brat all her life. I just feel badly for the two other kids who had to be raised in this household with Jessica and a mother who demanded allegiance to Jessica’s well being, above even theirs. I have gone off on a rant, obviously, but the AI circus is just that, a sideshow or better yet a train wreck that you can’t take your eyes off of.

I could go on, but won’t!
