Ok … I’m at my wits end with these videos..
Guys, I know this is a TL;DR but please take the time if you’re interested.. I completely broke down the latest video. And it’s a great example of how downhill this channel has gotten..
Titled “
Let’s continue to not see that our daughter is depressed”
“
His sister changed”
Ok.. so this video is going to be about the changes in her attitude, maybe we’ll learn a little something about autism.. I mean.. that’s the purpose of this channel right?
mins.
0:00-1:04- Asa, Cilla and Isigah all talk about where they are… Barely see Abbie bored out of her mind in the background. No interaction with her
1:04-1:31 (
27 seconds) -Asa annoyingly asks the child that’s funding his trip, and the child the whole channel is about, “What’s up”.. in a way like she’s getting on his nerves. How dare she interrupt their bragging.. Abbie asked to “go” , probably out of boredom and lack of any other words to describe her feelings. When she realizes she’s stuck there with nothing to do, and her parents don’t have much time for her.. or maybe she just doesn’t want to be recorded. They pick on her a lil and she goes to bed.
1:32-2:22- Asa and cilla talk food, weather, things.. while Abbie is upset in the background. No interaction with her
2:23-2:56- Asa extremely clumsily and ignorantly explains someones Native American heritage…decides to get something to bring her that most likely isn’t from the same tribe she is a part of. Abbie is bored. No interaction with Abbie.
2:57-2:59- (
2 seconds) we get to see Abbie crying in the restaurant.. for 2 seconds.. pan to shot of deer head.
3:00-4:11- (
71 seconds) This will be the longest we get to see Abbie and/or talk about Abbie and autism… and it’s all bull crap. Isigah has blindly followed his parents self denial all the way through with her. SHE IS DEPRESSED AND BORED. She has NOTHING to do. Swing, music or sleep are her only options.. oh, and her plastic bag..
4:12- fucking 7:17 - Three unbroken minutes of Asa talking about shit we could not care less about. Decides to end it with “to make a long story short” This will be the biggest chunk of the video. THIS is basically the video. No interaction with Abbie.
7:18-7:28 (10 seconds)-
Ohh boy where to begin..
Let’s start with the fact that Asa… knowing Abbie has NOTHING to do, decides to camp out at spot that offers no wifi..
Either way.. THIS is PERFECT example of what I’ve been saying about how they talk to her…
**Autism/IDD parents , please tell me if this is how you speak to your child when trying to explain something…
Asa says to his daughter who knows a total of 10 words..
“ I know sweetie, there’s just no service here. Can’t get on YouTube. We’re not hiking today.. there’s like… there’s.. like platforms and little trails. You get to see things. Cool? You do the walking?”
All the while.. THIS is her face…

LOOK AT THAT FACE. Does she smile at all anymore? She’s already grown bored of her brother. She doesn’t want to do things she likes to do… SHE CERTAINLY DOESNT LIKE SWIMMING, COINCIDING BACK WHEN THEY LET HER JUMP IN FREEZING WATER..
((SERIOUSLY MAASS’ .. WHY DO YOU NEVER TAKE OWNERSHIP? If you admitted you did something wrong. A mistake… it’s ALOT more forgiving, WE’D be a lot more forgiving if you just admit it. She has not wanted to touch water since that unbelievable sensory over load of the cold water and if I see you push her in again…..))
That face makes me so incredibly sad.
7:29-8:24- Asa literally pushes Abbie off camera and out of her room so he can show off THINGS they got for being the most amazing vlog about autism ever… No interaction with Abbie (besides kicking her out)
8:25-10:35- We close out the vlog with a Fat cow staring at a bison. Complaining complaining complaining … no interaction with Abbie.
SO. A 10:35 video.. from fathering autism.. titled “His Sister Changed”.. Abbie is on screen for literally… ONE MINUTE FIFTY SECONDS. Autism is talked about for about one minute. And since Abbie isn’t talked about unless she’s on screen.. that vlog was LITERALLY, I DID THE MATH.. about 90% about the THINGS and 10% about Abbie. And it was mostly… this face…

Asa.. Cilla… look at the face of the child you have given up on. Look at her. Take a moment from all the planning of YOUR things.. think of all the THINGS she needs to be a happy, semi-functional young adult. Enjoy the virtual spit on your RV

Ok, I know that was long, but I really wanted to provide a breakdown. Something that conclusively shows how fucked these people are.
