They may be adults in chronological age but not¹ is 4mentally! This ice cream story is a prime example of their lack of maturity.
AlI could think of watching that was if it were a heavily wooded area and she got far enough ahead to get lost or even as scary, if some perv were lurking around and grabbed her! She is still doing this. Other than constantly holding on to her when out and about I don't know what else they can do. At her chronological age, I would hate to see them have to use a tether (like for small children) but if it's a matter of her safety they may have to consider it.
Just my thoughts.
It has to be rough! My ears hurt just fron watching the vlogs....it can only be that much worse in person. I don't know how Asa, Priscilla and Isaiah don't have hearing problems. It's got to be damaging to some extent.
And, nerve racking as well. Again, just watching the vlogs I can feel myself tensing up.
I'm not saying that Abbie's super loud honking and yelling should be stopped if it is really a stim but I'm sure they could get her to tone it down IF they consistently put in the effort with her. If they know it's purely attention seeking they again should be focusing on ways to get her to stop it.
Just my thoughts.
Looks as if Abbie's thinking to herself, "This woman better get her fat self outta my face and let me go or Ima gonna have to pummel those cheeks and her head. Wait, let me grab her hair first!"
