Interesting that Abbie could eat the donut she decorated all by herself without it having to be piece-mealed to her bite-by-bite like the one Summer gave her.
He is becoming a smart arse like his fatherTrue, and I think Isaiah is just more vulnerable than Abbie to the overweight genes they received on both sides of the family. He's even kind of chubby in his childhood pics...it's one of the few areas Abbie just lucked out in. I did notice in the last vlog that he has gained quite a bit in a short amount of time. I never saw what the fans said about his looking just like Asa, but he's well on his way. I was watching a video from just two years ago, and it is amazing how much Isaiah has changed both physically and personality-wise. He no longer seems like the humble, genuine kid who just wanted to stay in the background. I never thought he was as perfect as the fans seemed to, but he was at least good at pretending back then.
Summer feeds her like a baby. I guess it’s a best friends thing.Interesting that Abbie could eat the donut she decorated all by herself without it having to be piece-mealed to her bite-by-bite like the one Summer gave her.
I think that could be her medication. Like after a morning dose of my meds can make me sleepy.They let her sleep during the day way too much. Just to get her out of their way. Naps, naps, naps. All they do is complain they don't get any sleep. Boring.
I totally agree its a fair question, I just dont think she will respond to it. Not to mention, we seem to hear two things from people with autism that conflict.I think it’s a fair question considering she has autism. Would be nice to get someone’s opinion with autism who is on a similar platform as Abbie.
I would be interested in the debate. She’s 40 and she can “exploit” herself all she wants, but what if she was 14 and non verbal....how would she feel then.
I know she was once in a facility that didn’t treat her great so she would probably stand up for the maasss any day. The fake loving family life is what gives the maasss an advantage in the exploiting argument, the leghumpers cant see anything wrong.
Seriously... I hate all the food dangling that they do. I think you are talking about a donut incident in the car, but of course, there have been so many incidents like that that it’s hard to keep up. Anyway... the way they do it, I often think about someone dangling drugs in front of an addict or recovering one. After all, she really has a sugar and food addiction.Summer feeds her like a baby. I guess it’s a best friends thing.
Ugh I hated that vlog she was waving the cookie at her saying “What is this, you want this” like she is a dog.
I meant waiting till time for bed. I wouldn't want to mess with sleeping meds either. Restraining or papoose board should only be used for emergency.This would be an awesome approach. The only thing I would hold back on is giving her a dose of her Seroquel (if that's still what she's on) - messing around with the timing/amount can duck a person up, even if it's just once. Some Tylenol though, would be fine and probably help with pain control as well as calming her down a bit.
I am strongly against 'burrito-ing' people with special needs in blankets. For some, it might be a comfort, but for others (myself and my daughter included) it can be extremely distressing and lead to a panic attack or meltdown. And with Abbie being non-verbal, I'd really try to avoid it at all costs. Same with holding her down.
I had a period of time where I had to put one of mine in scissor lock and sing her favorite song to get her teeth brushed and flossed and she is NT. Happens a lot, just don't give up on it.I'd guess yes. There was a vlog where they say they used to wrap her in a towel to cut her hair. I know for my kids, getting out splinters or brushing teeth, sometimes I need to restrain them. I know that sounds mean and I dont like it, but we've needed dental surgery and a tooth pulled because my kids could not stand their teeth being brushed. I would love to know Abbie's tooth health. They barely touch her teeth.
Theres these brushes that clean your teeth with light, but I cant imagine that would help with plaque/ tartar.
This! Yes, thank you!!! It is an entire household run by food disordered adults beginning with that mother. She’s obsessed with food, she talks about it, plans for it, touches it in the most creepy way I’ve ever seen and then pushes pushes pushes it on everyone around her..she is a feeder except most feeders aren’t morbidly obese themselves. The food obsession and it’s trickledown effects are the dominating content of this vlog. They are kidding themselves if they think it’s anything other than a side show of food related obsession and disorder. Oh and there’s a kid with autism...which is equivalent to saying there happens to be a great magician at the zoo. No one goes there for the magician but he’s nice to see...people go to this page to watch this food show and occasionally may see something this child may or may not do.Seriously... I hate all the food dangling that they do. I think you are talking about a donut incident in the car, but of course, there have been so many incidents like that that it’s hard to keep up. Anyway... the way they do it, I often think about someone dangling drugs in front of an addict or recovering one. After all, she really has a sugar and food addiction.
Also the running that Isaiah and summer do is easily negated by the way they eat. The only thing that would come out of it is that they would at least be able to maintain the weight that they are in right now. And also mental health... being away from the crazy house.
Well whoever or whatever Diamond Group is, they made an idiotic statement. Then again I have seen such ignorance over this virus from the general public it blows my mind.God almighty, Amanda Lee and Tonia Kind need a good talking to...
I know its from her meds and boredom but they should still not allow her to sleep as often as she does. Keep her busy. Wear her out. Let her get a solid nights sleep but get her up at the same time everyday and follow a schedule. They are relieved when she naps during the day.I think that could be her medication. Like after a morning dose of my meds can make me sleepy.
Also re the thumbs and high arches or totally flat foot/slapping feet, not to mention loss of muscle mass, especially calves could be something called, Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. Nothing to do with teeth, btw, its the discoverers Last names. I carry that gene. It can be sporadic or inherited. Take a looksee.
I think they or at least one of them is a Maass.God almighty, Amanda Lee and Tonia Kind need a good talking to...
Thank you! It is getting better- my eldest sits calmly now for brushing (and he's got a loose tooth, and lost 3 in the last few months!) and I'm really proud of him. My 3yo is starting to improve too- at least, he let's his dad brush so dad is in charge of them now.I had a period of time where I had to put one of mine in scissor lock and sing her favorite song to get her teeth brushed and flossed and she is NT. Happens a lot, just don't give up on it.
Yup. I was strapped to a Pinel chair for hours when I was a kid and I still have nightmares. I don't support restraints at all and only drug intervention when absolutely necessary if people's safety is at risk.I meant waiting till time for bed. I wouldn't want to mess with sleeping meds either. Restraining or papoose board should only be used for emergency.
Abby should be swaddled like thay in a towel to get her teeth brushed. What she is doing now is barely even touching them.I had a period of time where I had to put one of mine in scissor lock and sing her favorite song to get her teeth brushed and flossed and she is NT. Happens a lot, just don't give up on it.
Thats great!Off subject - sorry...I received a call today that my Covid test was negative.
