Bordering on or Total BS lines:
- Asa is the one doing the filming, he's more likely to pick up the camera and film and interaction, this makes it look like he's doing more w. Abbie.
- Isaiah helping out with Abbie because "It's humans helping other humans".
The one w. Isaiah really bothers me because they put him in a caregiver role that is just shy of being on the same amount or level of care that A&P are. They've often referred to Isaiah as the third caregiver in the family. Yes, it's normal for a sibling to help out (especially if it's a special needs child) but not to the extent that Isaiah has been forced to. They have put entirely too much responsibility on his shoulders when it comes to Abbie and it seems like it's been that way for a long time when Isaiah had to watch over Abbie in the back of the motorcycle shop. I also think it's a major reason why he's pursuing becoming an ABA therapist (or something related to that field). It's what he's known since he was a kid - through no choice of his own. A&P should NOT be looking at him as the third caregiver. It's not just "humans helping other humans." or just the right thing to do. It's relying on him the way they rely on each other for taking care of Abbie which is unfair to Isaiah and just plain messed up.
How many people do you need helping you take care of Abbie? Pre-quarantine it was teachers at JSA, speech therapist, two respite workers, Miss Brandi, and Isaiah. Holy hell. I bet a lot of their viewers wish they had that much help!
