I agree Susan 200%.
I love how Val is desperate to try to address what we've posted here. We are real families, real mothers of autistic children and see the bullshit that Val tries to pass off as autism.
I've mentioned having a team working together to help in the growth of our child and the entire family to be honest.
We work together WITH professionals , therapists, councillors, teachers, instructors EDUCATED and EXPERIENCED in home health care providers...( Not friends and family).
As the old saying goes... " it takes a village to raise a child " in the case of autism... Professionals are required to help us..help the family learn to cope and follow through to ensure progress.
The fact that in today's video...Jess whined about.. " you have to help me" " I can't do that" " where's the fridge? " really???
35 years of " working hard with jess" but she needs you to show her where the fridge is??
Val is correct in REPEATING what she's read here from real autistic parents....that it's work, it can take years to teach ..incorporate daily tasks such as showering , teeth brushing, hair brushing...getting your own juice etc...
Today's video outlines the truth we've already pointed out.... Jessica has zero professionals to help or advocate for her, she has absolutely NO consistency of follow through in her daily learning of tasks...personal hygiene or feeding herself.
At 35 she still refuses to brush her hair.
As for " making her own breakfast" no...all she did was reheat pizza for 60 seconds and whine about having to get her own juice...AFTER you prompted her over and over, had to show her where the fridge is...tell her to get a plate..where's the progress???
You just showed us it's taken you....your " team" 35 years of WORKING to get Jess to reheat pizza ..with help.
That's the progression of a person with ZERO professionals involved....and why they are crucial in helping the families to work with their child in achieving growth and some independence.....which Jessica has neither of...after 35 years she should in the very least brush her hair and know where/ what the fridge is!!!
We know she's been obsessing over those two pieces of pizza since the minute she got them wrapped at Nathan's .... It's ALL she's obsessed about since yesterday which is why the entire house is up at 5 am because Jessica MUST have HER food before someone else eats it!!!( God knows in 35 years Jessica hasn't learned manners, patience or to SHARE!)
Val..you're fooling no one but a few idiots on FB...no real autistic families are buying into.your sick selfish manipulating bullshit.
At this stage of the game ...Jessica should have a secure peer group in her community, perhaps attending adult workshops, getting O U T with a therapist a group councillor, an autistic day program one or two days a week....maybe.volunteer work ... An exercise program?? SOMETHING!!!
She's a recluse now..you've removed her from the outside world...just like a true abusive relationship... You've isolated her from professionals and stunted any personal growth concerning Jess.
She's 35 years old....almost 36... And she does less today then she did in her 20's...you've turned her into an old looking hermit..housebound ...walking around over medicated while shuffling around Campbell's house in a daze, scratching her crotch and sniffing her filthy fingers and screaming at the dogs if they dare get to close to Jess, or touch her.
Val...you are an absolute disgrace to the autism community. I went to a discussion group this week for autistic fami!ies.... SCAMMERS like you.. Who abuse the system a system created for REAL families with autism detest people like you.
We see you Val.
