She is a disgusting, selfish pig! I paid for my RN schooling with about 25k in loans, the rest as I had the money I took a course, etc…I paid it off in 15 yrs, lol! But…I did. I’m ecstatic that student loan debt forgiveness is going forward. I’m ashamed, tbh, I don’t know the details but I’m happy for those who will have that debt erased! Like I said, I’m not sure how it works but when you give those who want education a chance, they will do great things. Also, to have that debt erased is a great thing our collective government can do.

Something I noticed on recent video is how they seem to purposely avoid telling Abbie "no" (or "stop", but that's another story). I wonder if the word triggers a tantrum. They should do it anyway. Instead they say weird things like, "We're not going for a cart ride." This would actually be frustrating to a person who is very literal, as autistic people sometimes are. "Yes, I know we're not going for a cart ride, we're sitting here in our living room. I'm asking, can we go for a cart ride?"

Thank you for this.

I noticed this comment from Asa when he was going off on that Instagram post. This is what he says about her diagnosis;

Crazy. She has an intellectual disability, not just a "developmental delay." Developmental disability would make more sense, but dude...Abbie hasn't learned anything in a decade, it's time to put away "delay". That video somebody posted just recently where she was pouring juice, getting water, etc. I saw no progress from then to now, and regression in some ways.

I'm surprised people are not calling them out for their use of outdated terms such as "Infantile Autism". That diagnosis has not been used since the DSM-3 (We are on DSM-5 now). It surely would not have been used on Abbie's dx report close to the mid-2000's.

I hate how they word vomit to her. She MIGHT understand 2 words you say. Just talk how she would understand! Explaining why you aren't going to Zaxby's tonight because you went to Zaxby's last night and that maybe you could go to Chipotle. You don't have to explain. Just do what you want! You don't care what she wants anyway

Just a theory, perhaps misguided. Couldn’t infantile autism just be another name for autism..similar to infantile paralysis was another name for polio. At the time FDR was stricken with polio, which they called infantile paralysis, he was 39.

I think it's possible they are putting off a more up to date evaluation because they know she will be diagnosed with ID. They don't want to face the reality of Abbie's disability, especially the ID.
I think it's pretty much certain.
They're either putting off any sort of re-evaluation, or (see my next comment below) they already have the updated diagnoses and are just refusing to acknowledge them.

An up-to-date diagnosis isn't needed to continue services and gov. aid for Abbie?
Complicated.

Up to date diagnostic language & ICD-10/CPT codes are absolutely on her medical records right now. Her providers can't bill insurance for services related to autism without the most current medical terminology on her file. This not only includes services like therapy, a psychiatrist, etc but also things like having extra employees in the room to assist with medical situations. Those people don't work for free. If a typical child needs 1 phlebotomist to draw blood but an autistic child needs a phleb + 2 nurses + a random doctor walking past the room, those extra people's time needs to be billed under something.
Example: "infantile autism" does not exist in medical billing anymore. It doesn't exist. It will be listed on her medical records (and coded as such) as Autism Spectrum Disorder or Autistic Disorder. "Developmental delay" does exist as a diagnosis, and it may be on her medical records still as a remnant from years ago, but it's not a billable diagnosis and it stops being valid with any reliable medical system around age 9.

So.
Abbie was diagnosed years ago with infantile autism. That was the appropriate diagnosis at the time.
As the diagnostic criteria tightened up with the DSM-V, children (and adults) with various autism diagnoses such as infantile autism, PDD-NOS, Asperger's, etc all had their diagnoses updated in things like medical & school records to just Autism Spectrum Disorder/Autistic Disorder. In doing so, the vast majority of these existing diagnoses did not need to be re-evaluated in terms of a new ADOS or other diagnostic test. Autism doesn't go away. It's a lifelong condition that can improve but cannot be cured, so there generally isn't a reason to run new evaluations all the time. With the switch to the DSM-V, some of the margin cases of things like Asperger's and PDD-NOS were possibly re-evaluated to ensure those patients still fit the updated diagnostic criteria, but much like a child with Type I diabetes or cystic fibrosis, there's no need to run diagnostic tests on conditions that never go away.

Some states do require a new ADOS or other diagnostic process be performed every X number of years to maintain services like Medicaid, SSI, etc.
Florida does not appear to require this.

In Abbie's case, barring a state requirement to continue services, there's nothing forcing Asa & Priscilla to get her re-evaluated/re-diagnosed or to update her Developmental Delay diagnosis to the more appropriate Intellectual Disability. Individual doctors or medical systems could recommend it or require it to continue care, but they can decline or move care to another office.
And an official ID diagnosis isn't needed for medical systems to properly bill insurance for care. She would receive adequate medical care with providers billing under the autism diagnosis.

The school system & JSA have certainly made educational diagnoses regarding her intellectual functioning. The schools have measured and/or estimated her IQ, they've pinpointed her adaptive skill levels, they've got all the data needed to assess a true intellectual disability - but an educational diagnosis is separate from a medical one, and medical diagnoses are the primary or only thing used in terms of public services and funds.

Now, a formal evaluation will probably be required here shortly as they begin the process of setting up guardianship for when Abbie turns 18. The courts do not like to take away a chronological adult's rights unless it's necessary (shady court systems aside....) and there's quite a bit of evidence required to do so. By taking guardianship of Abbie when she's 18, basically all of her adult rights will be stripped from her - she won't be able to vote, won't be allowed to manage her money, she'll be, legally speaking, still a child with her parents having full control over all aspects of her life.
And, yes, that's absolutely necessary for Abbie. 100% necessary. But before the courts make that move, they generally will make real fucking sure the person being placed under guardianship actually needs it because it's a really big deal in America.

Just a theory, perhaps misguided. Couldn’t infantile autism just be another name for autism..similar to infantile paralysis was another name for polio. At the time FDR was stricken with polio, which they called infantile paralysis, he was 39.
Yes, many years ago there were specific types of autism diagnosed.

Infantile autism was present before the age of 3
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder was when a child appeared to develop typically until about age 2-3, who then "regressed" and lost skills like speech that they'd once had.
Asperger's Syndrome was a milder type of autism often without speech delay or lack of verbal ability and a normal to superior IQ
PDD-NOS was kind of like autism-lite; the child may have had no trouble communicating but had repetitive behaviors (like stimming, fixed interests, etc) and marked social deficits.
Rhett Syndrome is a genetic condition with many similarities to autism

When the most updated Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (the list of official diagnostic criteria for mental & neuropsych disorders) came out in 2013, Rhett Syndrome was reclassified into its own disorder and all the autism subtypes were grouped together under Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Jesus. Pig lifting each of her stumps had me rolling. She almost created a redwood fire!
No, she had the required 6 ft of clearance between each stump, the most she could have caused was a small Bushfire

I think that is purely for the vlog. They want it to look like ahe is part if the conversation. Camera goes off P probably doesn't even acknowledge Abbie is alive. Not unless its to yell at Ass to fet his daughter away from her. Ass probably just barks orders at her orvtells ger to go play with her dirty pladtic bag.

this is so true. They need to teach her things she can eventually do on her own with no hand over hand help. If they say "Abbie go vacuum the living room rug" she will never get out the vacuum, plug it in, vacuum, and then unplug it and put it away. She will ALWAYS need to be guided and babysat while doing this chore. SO WHAT IS THE POINT? at least with the plates you can tell her and she's pretty good about doing it without hand holding. They need to focus on more of these types of chores

When I was married, it was always WE paid for X, or WE did Y. With big P, it’s always I. Yep. This is a marriage of convenience only.

ok so anyone else want to message people that Asa is rude to on YT and tell them about us? There has been so many times someone has made a comment on one of their videos and get humpers fighting them and Asa firing back and I just want to reach out to them and say "your eyes have been opened, come join us......." anyone else haha

I feel so bad for Abbie. At least when she was at JSA she got away from those morons for part of the day. Now she is stuck with them 24/7 and they wonder why behaviors and excessive stimming are increasing.



Abbie started having more behaviors when she was stuck in the camper with A&P on the road trip and now it's starting to happen again with being with them 24-7 at home. That really sucks for Abbie. I feel very bad for her.

Can you imagine not getting a break from Mr "I know everything, do as I say" Asshat and Princess "It's All About Me" Priscilla?

No wonder Abbie is asking for golf cart ride even more than usual. She wants to get out of that fucking house.

I wouldn’t be comfortable with this. In my experience, I found Tattle almost 3 years ago on my own to find people who had similar suspicions about the increasing lack of humbleness and greed in this family. How they were relatable and what YouTube money did to them. I had nobody leading the way. it was self-led. I believe if we invite folks over here, it is a way of outing ourselves. Let them do the research and find us. Plus it’s unknown if some of these commenters may already be among us. Let there be a little bit of mystery. My opinion.
