Uggh yes!! She talks through her nose and it drives me nuts! Seems they simply cannot deal with their daughter very well. They walk on eggshells with her and they want another one???Maybe you can do one on their friend Lauren Brazee. Just watched her latest chat video. Her and her husband seem very nice but seems like they are trying to mirror FA. Her hubby just quit his job to be full time youtuber. So crazy
that was heartbreaking. I know they have brought her to a hockey game before and she was okay and they want to be able to take her to experience things, but why did it take until the car ride home after a meltdown for them to realize maybe they should have taken two cars so someone could take her home if needed?? I would think that would be the norm when taking her to something like that.A Hockey game for a 14 year old girl with severe autism? She was crying at the game.
She said they took her because she did good the last time they went and also because the event included an autism sensory room.that was heartbreaking.

Is Abbie not interested in sensory toys because she’s 14 or is she not interested in sensory toys because she’s not at the typical level of most children with autism.I get so sick of them referring to Abbie as a teenager! Shes 2 in her brain. Why are they in such denial??
Assa was not amused that Abbie ruined the fun for everyone and he said it. He's such a dick.
Must be nice having the state Medicaid office pay for 2 respite workers at the same time. Becca said she gets 3 days. I wonder how many Summer gets? Total hours? What is the maximum respite hours you can bill for in a week and for how many respite workers?
It's worth researching.
I really hope the state keeps a close eye on their billing. The opportunity for fraud is certainly there.
My guess is she's 1. Got more issues than IDD and Autism like schizophrenia and ADD. 2. I believe Autism is not her primary or 1st diagnosis therefore she's not able to play or even really "be" in the world 100%.My question is.... Is Abbie not interested in sensory toys because she’s 14 or is she not interested in sensory toys because she’s not at the typical level of most children with autism?
Yes exactly so I don’t know why they keep saying typical teenager. Just be honest. She can not play like the other kids with autism because she has no real understanding of what she’s supposed to do in the sensory room..My guess is she's 1. Got more issues than IDD and Autism like schizophrenia and ADD. 2. I believe Autism is not her primary or 1st diagnosis therefore she's not able to play or even really "be" in the world 100%.
I am no expert. These are my thoughts and observations from watching her.
They do it, I believe, because the term "Autism" sadly is very popular and they are cashing in.Yes exactly so I don’t know why they keep saying typical teenager. Just be honest. She can not play like the other kids with autism because she has no real understanding of what she’s supposed to do in the sensory room..
My 18 month old grandchild is more advanced than her. Sadly I think Abbie’s capacity is maybe on a 6-month to one year old level. I realize they say how much she has advanced, but I don’t see it. It is heartbreaking, in my opinion. Her tears at the hockey game were so sad.My guess is she's 1. Got more issues than IDD and Autism like schizophrenia and ADD. 2. I believe Autism is not her primary or 1st diagnosis therefore she's not able to play or even really "be" in the world 100%.

She always looks like that, she tries to hide it but you can see her real feelings coming out.Cilla with the ashamed faces
