Fathering autism #21 Don't send fancy gifts to throw in the trash, just dunkin cards and l

Yep. I also think that Abigail always clearly looks like nobody is home. I can tell just by looking at her that she isn't there. She always has her top teeth over her entire bottom lip and just flails around. It's crystal clear that something is bad wrong before anyone even reveals it. (Atleast it has always been clear to me. Even if I didn't know about her issues. Just my opinion. I'm fully aware that I'm more than likely going to get my insides ripped out for this one.)

Something major went south during birth or in utero. Abbie appears to have looked normal as a baby and something or someone damaged her brain. AssTwat will never reveal the truth.

Okay I feel a rant coming on.... the only reason Isaiah is of average intelligence is because in his formative years they lived with educated adults(grandparents). One set is a Doctor/nurse, the other set is a diplomat of some sort so he obviously was educated. I am pretty sure when you watch them with Sandy is how they treated Abbie when she was little. Small bursts of interaction and than crated/gated the other 20 hours a day. Abbie has no social skills because they never modeled them for her. I feel if she were placed in an enrichment home she could learn and retain skills. I see sparks in her that within 1 year without interference from “Asa knows best” you wouldn’t recognize her. My heart breaks for her, she is more than the circus show they have put her in. i want to make it clear I am not calling Abbie an animal, I’m stating they treat her like one.

You know Almighty Asa would have a rage fit when JSA tries to tell them that Abbie can't be in that program. I can just hear him shouting: "It's a program for autistic people!!! She has autism - where is the problem??!"
I don't know what it's like in the US but I saw a documentary on YT about a young man in Australia (or maybe New Zealand) with severe autism and IDD who had to be taken out of the home due to his very bad temper and physical violence and appeared to be at least moderately IDD as well. He was placed in a care home where he had someone with him pretty much round the clock and it seemed to work pretty well. Not that things went perfectly, but there were no major incidents. Obviously I know that every individual is different I don't think Abbie is a lost cause with no hope. Yes there is a lot that is stacked against her, but I still don't think she should be given up on.

@pinkmarshmallow, if you are a kiwi, do you know about Ashley?

'He's had everything stripped from him'

An autistic man has been locked in a tiny, isolated area of a mental health unit for five years despite top-level warnings his treatment breaches human rights.

I am pretty sure he said in one Vlog that he will never work for anyone again. He likes being his own (and everyone else's) boss.

I knew from the time I saw this video. She acted like my friend's son that has an IDD/Autism diagnosis. Only Abbie's is worse at this age than his was.

Exactly! It’s irrelevant whether it’s HER pool or not. They don’t show certain things on the vlog as they state that they don’t feel it necessary to show certain personal things (ie meltdowns) . I think being naked constantly in or out of the pool whether on the vlog or not is still a matter of respecting Abbie’s dignity and privacy. Asa and P have ‘cried’ in vlogs before when they’ve said that Isaiah has had to deal with a certain situation and got very emotional saying that a teenage sibling should not have to see or deal with even 10% of what he has too. It’s the same thing; Isaiah shouldn’t be subjected to a nearly 15 year old sibling just getting naked all the time. I hope that makes sense- it’s been a long day!

Could contribute to why he’s gay, after seeing his sister naked at such a young delicate age, not that I’m saying your not born being gay, but many stories have similar tales

 

[Sadoldhen]

Recent vlog observations.... 1)Ever since Priscilla explained that hands-on parenting is "just not her jam," she seems even more emotionally distant from Abby. It's as though by finally openly admitting it, the pressure is off and she doesn't have to hide it anymore. Now when she shows ANY loving attention to Abby, like playing in the pool with her on yesterday's vlog (after playing with Sandy of course), I almost fall off my chair in surprise!

BTW....I thought is was extremely sad and selfish when she admitted how she felt about parenting so coldly and matter-of-factly. Her parents, in-laws, friends, and her child's teachers and therapists have probably watched it. Not her "finest moment" at all. One day she will look back on this and probably be very embarrassed and regretful. At least she should be.

2) I cannot get over the fact that Asa and Priscilla feel that it is ok for Abby to swim naked in their pool. This is not ok in any way, shape or form. She is not a toddler. Treat her with dignity!

3)While I commend Asa for all the hands-on parenting that he does for Abby, I feel he should be ashamed to admit that he is bored. I know he tried to restate what he meant it in a comment reply by saying that he was bored of his "vlog content," but the damage was already done. He should be embarrassed to even speak that thought. He has forgotten what going to a real job is like and is suffering from a major case of "Peter Pan Syndrome." Hopefully when COVID 19 has moved out and life returns to "normal" the Maas family can do some reflection, re-prioritize, and reboot their day-to-day family dynamics. I think it would be healthy for them, especially with Isaiah leaving for college.

Why can’t Asssa go to the local EMS and see if they need help with rotating tyres, replacing lightbulbs, easy stuff, that might mean an ambulance doesn’t have to go to maintainance and be out of action. Even giving the outside of the vehicles a wash might be helpful, feeding them, some of P’s food (er, no, wait, that might make them their own patients

We used to have boy who lived next door to us, he was very similar to Abbie. He lived with his mum and dad , they weren’t young when they has him, so they were clocking on a bit. Anyway as he grew he became bigger and stronger and his parents suffered terribly trying to control him. When he got to about 30, he would stand on the front step flailing about and grunting and scaring all the kids.
One night we saw an ambulance come to their house and it turned out the father had a heart attack and died. After that the mother just couldn’t handle him because of his size and meltdowns and came for my husband many times to help out.
The sad thing is she had to have him put in a home as he beat her very badly one day and soon after she died. I think about her often and what an awful life she had and wonder what became of the son.
I fear that this will be what happens to Abbie as there will come a point when she is too much for them and the irony is it’s their own fault for not trying to correct her behaviours.
Sorry if it bored you all but I was just thinking about it all today.

Show of hands...how many of you are FORMER fans of this show?
I am ashamed to admit that I am. I found them over a year ago, binge watched, and then waited every day for 6 PM so I could see the latest. For our family vacation last summer we went to Florida (not for the Aass family I PROMISE!!) and I messaged them and begged them to have a meetup sometime during the week I was in their state. I was willing to drive 4 hours to Jacksonville if they did. I'm so ashamed. It was THE video that brought me here in February and helped me see them for what they are. Let me remind you that I an Autism Specialist by profession. Have I mentioned how ASHAMED I am?

 

[Jamiebeth]

Could Assa be more tone deaf complaining about how bored he is while swimming in his nice pool, from his nice house where he works from home year round? Christ. I'd love to be bored like him.

Also proves money isn’t everything, if you have your health, that’s wealth

 

[MudOnMyTires]

So it is ok for your developing teen daughter to strip naked in the house and pool area just because you say so. Umm you are exposing your son to an uncomfortable situation though he can never tell you because you will make him feel awful if he complains. Your daughter also has the right to dignity even though she doesn't know it. You have Windows in your house do you not? There is also a chance someone will enter your gate or look through a space at your nude daughter. To pedophiles and curious people she is just a naked girl to be abused in their filthy minds. You will be fortunate if you don't find her picture on the internet now that Daddy Warbucks announced to the world that she hangs out in the nude and you let her. Of course she never passes a window and of course no one could possibly snap her picture. Do you tell yourself this? You and your family do not have the privilege of living in a bubble protected from the evils of the world. Complacency is something no parent can afford no matter how much money they have. Good God man...I believe you love your daughter. Protect her D@%# it! People are already disgusted with things You and your wife have done and said in your pursuit of money, fame and numbers on the net. You have now set yourself up for every pedophile on the net to make your numbers go up at the expense of Abbies privacy and dignity. Will it be worth it to know she is likely to become some pervert's fantasy? What happens when you do a meet and greet?! Who is in that crowd man? You better start using your brain for more than counting dollar signs and numbers and use it for raising and protecting your daughter FROM YOUR STUPIDITY. PROTECTING YOUR CHILD. PARENTING 101..FIRST CHAPTER FIRST SENTENCE..You are responsible for your child's well being, safety and love. In the beginning you and Priscilla with your family had a great opportunity to bring wonderful awareness, respect and support for Autism.
Now it is just so sad what it turned into.

I can't this enough!!!

Bad enough Abbie is probably frustrated as all get out since everyone around her is so inconsistent but she also has to be wondering when the next asshole is going to "attack". But gotta have that vlog content right

This

That privilege was given to you Asa. By the same people you argue with and block.
Oh and your daughter.
Thats HER house and pool remember? You're lucky she lets your obnoxious ass live there at all.

What an A$$~! His exploitation of their daughter has funded ALL THE THINGS they have now.

found these comments extra funny bc, there was one were he was trying to recite the definition of "privilege" to this person and saying she didn't use the word right but, if he just would've looked down the page, one line, when he googled it, he would've saw the the word "privileged" is actually defined just how she used it. What a bleeping moron.

Anyone notice how in the last two vlogs Isaiah is referred as having to go care for Abbie? The night P was exercising her fingers in bed and she texted BOTH A$$ and Isaiah to put Abbie to bed then in the latest one Isaiah mentioned he woke up at 3:30AM with Abbie? That poor kid! Even if his college does online classes I hope he still moves to the college area. He's only 18 so I hope he begins to understand the terrible influence his parents have been on him, teaching him the love of money, grifting ignorant (and I don't say that in a mean way) people to send them money and gifts or participating in the MLM scam and exploiting your disabled sister.

The latest vlog really amplifies that P has no problem "mothering" Sandy but can't be with or care for her own daughter. I wonder if she lets A$$ be the "fixer" or if she holds the first daughter over his head. How he can put himself out there as such a loving father to his chosen family and ignore his own flesh and blood in monetary support is stunning. Saying the mother doesn't want him in daughter's life is an easy cop out. Step UP!

The P.O. Box haul was not that much considering they said it had been left at the P.O. for a long time. I remember when they would go at least once a week and get near that much. ALL of it should be donated - after all they are "unsolicited from complete strangers" so they shouldn't be accepted.

Summer is nothing more than a paid playmate. She gives A$$ a break and P, well, now she doesn't even have to pretend she cares.

I believe the comment P made about "only missed my daily sales goal by $10" was yet another shameless attempt to get more sales. Counting on one of the leghumpers to say "Oh, she only needed $10 more - I'll buy something I don't need to help her." How I'd love to see that pyramid collapse! I still have some of the thankfully only a few products I bought when I was taken in by their genuineness and I now want to just throw them out! I hope more people begin to see through them like we did. They should be ashamed of themselves.

That’s a sad story, something you would never forget!

 

[MudOnMyTires]

I remember just before I saw the the real light of what this family is, watching the "Someone Called CPS" vlog and actually feeling sorry for them. Now I think CPS should investigate.

And do you think they told the pool guy about fecal matter in the pool? I think it's something that should be disclosed.

 

[lovesis]

Asa is having a convo with Abbie. She looks completely lost but when he says snack, she grabs the bowl.

She picks up on certain things. I don’t see why they don’t try to teach her more signs, or more words that she could associate things with.

Starts at :39

This is why, when it comes up, I refuse to even entertain the idea of my brother living with my mother.

I am ashamed to admit that I am. I found them over a year ago, binge watched, and then waited every day for 6 PM so I could see the latest. For our family vacation last summer we went to Florida (not for the Aass family I PROMISE!!) and I messaged them and begged them to have a meetup sometime during the week I was in their state. I was willing to drive 4 hours to Jacksonville if they did. I'm so ashamed. It was THE video that brought me here in February and helped me see them for what they are. Let me remind you that I an Autism Specialist by profession. Have I mentioned how ASHAMED I am?

Don't be ashamed. They were so likable and seemed so genuine to begin with. We're all here because we liked them at first and then started to see them for what they are.

Raises my hand! Lowers my head!
I was a loyal fan, watched every day and even bought slimelife from P. I tried to like the makeup but never could get it to look good and not dry out my skin something horrible. It accentuates every single wrinkle you have and ones you didnt know you had!

I almost became a supporter, until they moved and I saw that their house was huge! Sorry but I can't support someone who's doing better than I am. I was already starting to pull away before the big secret was revealed, because once they moved I felt like I was watching one big commercial with Abbie sprinkled in here and there.

Once the secret came out and
Assa said he didn't have anything to do with his 1st daughter because they were granting the mothers wish, I had had enough. I knew that was total BS and having a background in this sort of situation, it pissed me off to no end that he just let his flesh and blood go without a fight. It showed me what kind of man he really was. It doesnt matter what the mother wanted or didn't...he had rights as the father to that child. He just simply gave her up with no fight.

[Flawda Girl]

One of the biggest issues that I have with Asa and Priscilla, is that they are not consistent with their expectations and consequences for Abbie's behavior. Surely, with all the parent training they have been given from JSA and other Autism resources, and advice from Brandi (ABA) and Jill (SLP), they would know that if you let a behavior "slide by" even once (such as jumping in the pool with clothes on, swimming with no clothes on, or opening the garage door) you are actually reinforcing the behavior as acceptable. Individuals with autism are extremely quick to "jump on " a behavior and make it a part of their routine, and it can be extremely hard to break them from it.

I am an elementary school teacher with experience teaching very young children, including those with high functioning autism. It has been my experience that it can be very easy to let a behavior "slide," when you feel you can't stop and give your full attention to redirect or correct it, but by allowing the behavior (even once) to take place it can take forever to undue or replace it with a more favorable behavior. It can become a lesson in futility, and in the case of Abby, this is just what her parents have created over and over again. What makes it even more unfortunate, is that they knowingly let behaviors slide! I feel for her teachers and paras when she returns to JSA, and for Brandi if and when she returns for therapy sessions. They have their work cut out for them for sure.
