Exactly our point.. Welcome to the questions from the real..I created this account just to post this.
What was with the recent vlog and having Abby in the house as they were doing work? I literally skipped through the whole part where he was trying to talk to the people who are just trying to do their job after his tone came off as condescending and like the workers had done something wrong, he's like “do you know what autism is?” ???? Who cares? They are there to do their work and appeared to be well into it. I think assa realized he made too big a deal of it because at the end of it he had to quantify the whole or deal/exchange saying he didn't want them to feel like they had to ask to use the bathroom? Yes I'm sure that (asking to use the bathroom) would have made them feel soooo uncomfortable, far more uncomfortable than a surprise lesson in something you didn't ask for. And even if that was the real reason (instead of him just wanting more attention), he could have just said “we are going to close this door to keep the noise down but feel free to go through it to use the bathroom” as I'm sure they have been told in numerous houses, because surprise! even neurotypical people don't like the sound of air guns.
And I know this has been mentioned here before but why in the world did they keep her home at that point? It seemed like they were finishing up so why not just take her for a walk around the neighborhood or out to get dinner. And I'm not just saying that because she has special needs, I would keep any child with any type of needs out of the house when there's construction going on because there was no reason for them to be home. I'm literally just baffled.
The answer is that it was for content only. They set her completely up for a meltdown. Asa knew she would go into a meltdown because they used high power tools at his work place, when the roof was done and he knew they would need them to do the flooring. He literally set that all up, just to show it on camera..
Also, yes, he didn’t need to go into Autism Awareness with someone that didn’t even speak his own language, trying to butcher theirs, etc... If he did, he should have talked with the company before they came out and had it addressed... There was no reason to do it, when those guys just wanted to finish as fast as possible and go home.. He literally was holding them up from doing their job and I hope they either charged them more and/or the Maass Family gave them a great tip for the awesome job they did on the floor...
