Pfft, delusional Maass Squad.Someone commented on one of his vlogs that Nick and Abbie would be great friends. I don’t see it all. There is a world of difference between the two of them.
I think what really gets me fired up about the whole Dunkin thing is the absolute disregard for their audience.....a lot of which are families with kiddos of their own on the spectrum who find them while searching for information. MOST families are spending every spare dime on therapies they can’t get covered and Dunkin isn’t in the budget for a treat(let alone multiple times a day). Dunkin coffee is a favorite of many BUT you can purchase their coffee to brew at home.....it’s pure laziness to drive-thru two or more times a day for a cup of coffee.The reruns all have 1 thing in common- selling their merch. It’s the link you see even in the header. Not being able to post new vlogs/vids has dried up some of their advertising( as well as advertisers pulling back at this time as well).
they need to now sell off as much merch as they can to keep them afloat.
Maybe they should sell the 2 coffe makers they own..after all they don’t need them as they still run to DD( am sure they got the free donut today as well).
Wonder when all of the fans will be hit w reality an pull back on the monthly subscription pay out.
All the things you mentioned sound great but would require her to have a bit of self-control, she has none. At this point she would eat all the ingredients to the sandwich before it got assembled.It isn't as much getting her to count but to engage the brain in what she is doing in a way closer to her understanding. And no she probably never be able to do much unaided but she can place items. She could assemble her own sandwich. Help with simple recipes (premeasuring everything before hand helps) I have worked with very young children and ones more disabled than Abby. There are a lot of things they can "help" do. Obviously nothing unsupervised or without prompting but if they are going to do those things and call it homeschooling there are way better ways to go about it. Things she can do with more success and understanding than play acting with P.
She also did what Lauren Brazee does.Priscilla “I like disinfected my hands and everything, the girl was wearing gloves when she handed me the food”
Wipes nose as she’s eating
This is quality content, I’m not even more than 30 seconds into the vlog.
From the beginning they had "all the things". Every type of sand, slime, gel, toy, rattle, chewy, sensory room, lazer lights, even a swing in the living room. She cared not a bit. Grab some slime or sand for a few, try to eat it. Destroy her sensory room. Swing for a minute and not again for a week. Boxes of toys the lit, danced, vibrated and crinkled.....eaten, thrown, broken.The reason people say that is because we don’t see them do much of anything with her that would be considered FUN for someone with her level of understanding.
Like I said before, what are Abbies interest or likes, does she have any? We don’t know because they don’t show that.
No one is asking them to drop everything every second for Abbie. We get it, she’s 14. Even neurotypical parents don’t spend every second trying to entertain their neurotypical teen BUT I bet they do still try to find things to entertain their neurotypical child like buy them video games, have movie night, cook with them, even give them money to find stuff to do.
I challenge you to name one activity you have learned from FA that would be beneficial or even fun for a child with Autism like Abbie.
Exactly.All the things you mentioned sound great but would require her to have a bit of self-control, she has none. At this point she would eat all the ingredients to the sandwich before it got assembled.
Brandi and probably other therapists worked hard to get her to learn "hands waiting".....what do the Maass' do, make it into a game so now it is probably a futile attempt. Has anyone seen them using it lately?
It's like all the money and years spent in therapy and that expensive school is a waste. They take her one step forward, her parents take her two steps back.
Down the drain, just like that weight loss surgery.
Oh well dumbbells
Well she didn't eat the bread, or the cheese, making grill cheese. So she is capable of not eating everything. Just needs to be watched.All the things you mentioned sound great but would require her to have a bit of self-control, she has none.

Ugh!Watch at own risk
P claims everyone is out as she stuffs her face with a Popeye's sandwich. P then states the drive thru person was wearing gloves. Duh...the drive thru person does not change their gloves every time a new customer comes, so that means the Maass family is eating the crap the person picked off their face, the wedgie the drive thru person unwedged, and all the damn germs. Hmmm...did they really do any homeschooling today?!? Also, I thought Abbie being active has nothing to do with her staying up or sleeping?!! It's all in the eyes Asshat states. This family is disgusting.Priscilla “I like disinfected my hands and everything, the girl was wearing gloves when she handed me the food”

Omg. Look at the size of that sandwich Porker is eating! Why would he take such an embarrasing picture. She may think she lost enough weight and is happy shes not 400 pounds anymore, so she gave up. Or Asa is sabatoging her by getting all this high calorie food. Alot of men feel threatened when their wives lose alot of weight and start getting alot of compliments and attention. Shes not ugly on the outside.Oh my I just started the vlog. Abbies shorts look tight, hope she can move around freely. And guess what, they got Popeyes.
Priscilla said to hell with her weight loss surgery.
Can you get it done twice?
