Codys parents parents aren't afraid to reward Cody and follow through with consequences when he's made bad choices.
They absolutely take his ipad, Phone away...tel him it's unavailable and discuss choices, behaviours and rules with Cody.
I do the same with my 26 yr. Old and have taught right and wrong , good and bad, acceptable and unacceptable behaviours from the time they could walk. It's called parenting , like you would any child...but with IDD, autistic children it's ongoing ....and may really be a regular part of their lives.
Can you imagine Val taking Jessica s phone?? NEVER happen...Jessica rules the roost.
There's another family I watch.... With a nonverbal autistic boy....
For the Love of Gabe.
The nonverbal families really touch my heart because I have the same diagnosis in my family ...it's very relatable.

Regarding the adult pull ups. I never realized she wore those on a regular basis. I guess I never thought about it. I remember one time that she jumped up from a live package opening, announced that she needed to go to the bathroom and took off. When she came back, the only thing I could think about was if anyone had helped her clean herself up and make sure she washed her hands. Yuck.
From what I saw in the video... She wears them at night for sure, but seems from Vals explanation when Jessica messes them it's deliberate like spilling water...
I've tried to find the video..it's at the old house I think it was dated 2021... Jessica isn't in it just Val...and it's not a Q and A bit it looks like that format....it was about hard days/ Jessica creating extra work on her hard days ect...
