Did Assa delete his instagram? For some reason I can’t find it when searching.
I’m sure everyone noticed that big P can’t lift her legs straight up. She has to splay them to the side to avoid all the belly.
Have you been naughty? Sounds like you have been banned.
Maybe so. I haven’t even commented just silently following and laughing at all the comments. Time for my backup Insta account.Have you been naughty? Sounds like you have been banned.
We are looking at two miserable people.
My lord, she looks like the great pumpkin!
It's for Content.
Hey Asshat, you can duck right off with buying Abbie industrial strength zip locs to play with. Here's an idea, buy her actual stim toys that are designed for stimming with! Tough, durable, all that good stuff.
I love how he sped up the part where Piggy Poo was lumbering up the steps, she must have looked TERRIBLE in real time.
He definitely has grown out of all his shirts!
Can the plastic bags be dangerous to her as far as her attempting to chew them or breathe them (inhale).
Or if those 4ml ones are large enough she could put it over her head.
Toddler play.
He has!! The bonehead just bought this one and was showing it off.
He should have bought a bigger size for his ever expanding self!! 
his shirt is 2 sizes too small....
I’m behind! Did Cilla get her feelings hurt?
Yeah, as a former dental professional, he needs a dental cleaning ASAP. Probably needs a deep scale followed up with a fine scale. Disgusting indeed.
Here we have Teacher Rachel, a highly skilled special ed teacher demonstrating her mastery of pointing at the rug. We were gifted 15 seconds of this fascinating educational experience
Dead! I’m dead! That comment killed me! Lmfao! So true!
I think my daughter is somewhere on the spectrum. She’s grown and married but has always had problems with depression and anxiety. I used to stress about her and wonder why she struggles so with life and what I should have done differently in raising her. One day I heard a voice in my head that said “Love her for who she is, not who you think she should be.” So that’s what I do.Lately I've been continuing to deal with the reality that my daughter almost certainly fits the criteria for autism spectrum disorder. It's hard to say because I suppose she would fit in the "high functioning" classification, if that is even a thing anymore.
Anyway...I'm trying to find the right path for us, and probably my biggest fear is that if my daughter gets these "labels," then expectations will lower across the board, including her own expectations of herself.
Adding to the stress is the awareness that she gets her tendencies from me, leaving me feeling confused about myself, my life, my childhood, my problems, etc.
I find myself really pissed at Asa and Priscilla for putting Abbie out there as some kind of representative of autism, when in reality what she represents is severe ID, with severe autism secondary to that (or at least that's what it seems to me.) The name of the channel, "FatheringAutism", the constant use of hashtags like "#AutismPrincess", the catchphrases including "real autism"....the entire channel is based on this idea that, "This is what autism is like. This is what it's like when you have a child with autism." Any person who watches this channel is going to think that autism is pretty dreadful and that a person with autism is to be pitied. The Maasses pretend to send a positive message, but what they actually show is negative.
I honestly don't want my daughter to have the same label as Abbie, and that's not just because of my fragile ego or something--it's because she is not like Abbie. I honestly don't see her resembling Abbie in any meaningful way. My daughter is fully verbal and has been progressing in school on pace. She can hold a conversation, she can carry out self-care tasks, she can read, she can write, she can follow directions, she can tell stories, she can play pretend, she can discuss the future and ask questions etc etc. She's potty trained, she is not destructive, and she can go pretty much anywhere in any situation and not start making loud noises or crying or rocking or flailing.
But for reasons which I won't go into to not make this even longer, she almost certainly falls in the category of autism spectrum disorder. It honestly doesn't make any sense to me to put her next to Abbie and say, "These people have the same thing." It honestly feels like a frightening disservice to my daughter to go along with that. Abbie has severe, obvious issues. My daughter has issues, but it's so subtle it passes as idiosyncrasies, quirks or just her personality. Between "normal" kids and Abbie, my daughter more closely resembles "normal" kids, but I'm supposed to go along with this idea that she's autistic, even though she has nothing in common with this supposed representative of autism? The idea doesn't feel so bizarre when I compare her to people like those on Love on the Spectrum, which I consider a far more interesting, inspiring and respectful show about autism.
Putting Abbie out there as somehow "Autism Itself" is like doing a channel about your child's struggle with a speech impediment while barely mentioning that it's due to cerebral palsy--kind of important information. Or talking about your kid's struggles to read without mentioning that they're mostly blind.
Okay, needed to get that off my chest, thank you!
Same sister! Im down since 2002 from 233# to 128# and I’m STILL a 34D. Was a 40 DDD. I do have to say though…getting a professional bra fitting CHANGED MY WARDROBE AND LOOKS 100%. She was around 80 yrs old. Awesome lady. She took my boobs in her hands and fitted me so perfectly! She said almost everyone women wears too small a bra. Ha! It was her gift From God she said.She was from Germany. Moved to US when she was 30 she said. She said she has handled more breasts than any doctor! Lol!!!!
