If there was a proper facility for Abbie...that would be one thing. I'm doubting there is a better place for Abbie other than in her own home....BUT...that being said....there ARE better routes these two morons can and should be taking regarding Abbies care.
Unlike a lot of people they seem to be very financially sound, and they have an inlaw sweet that sits empty 99% of the time.
Instead of buying the second house, a huge camper, another vehicle, a motorcycle, all the eating out, all the trips....which in all honesty doesn't really benefit Abbie..but benefit Asa and Priscilla ....they spend money like teenagers like they deserve to be rewarded for having an "autistic" child.
Instead of dragging sweet girl all over, which again adds absolutely nothing to Abbie's daily life except content for Asa's channel....they should should have I house permanent care...they have the space...or at the very least have a hands on care provider who is in house 5-7 days a week 8 hours. ( like a nurse someone professionally educated for home care for people like Abbie) yes it's expensive but they blow money on houses, cars, fast food, booze, etc... It's clear their money could be better spent with constant care....
Keep in mind they should have been doing better long before now....and if they had utilized the last 17 years actually following through with ABA, teaching Abbie better communication, kept her in school...created a routine For HER...even if it interferes with their date night!
The two are like spoiled children and have always put their needs first. They wasted the last 17 years....and haven t succeeded in teaching Abbie very basic tasks like toileting, brushing her hair or teeth ...she does 3,4 strokes and gives up... Now she's what...150-160 pound young adult , whose basically feral and getting closer to the age where opportunities will no longer be available like school...
We are already seeing the impact of no school, no Isaiah, no Sommer, ABA therapy from weekly to bi- weekly, Abbie is driving them crazy... And her care of lack of is showing.
It's only going to get worse ....
