Unbelievable.. they go to 2 restaurants in one day? I'm still pretty much stay at home and occasional .. maybe once a week pick up take out.. wow.Her meltdown happened at the second restaurant they had been to that day. They went Mexican for lunch and then...wherever they were for dinner was where the event went down. lol
What is up with Summer rubbing her nose like constantly? She could not keep stop doing it when she was standing in the living room. Are there allergies all that bad? I wonder if there is mold in the house?
It's also an ABA- like response...denying a child their favourite things (that may be self soothing or whatever) until they learn to "behave/communicate properly", except that a) the autistic person is just going to get even more frustrated b) It's only a band-aid solution, it doesn't actually address the root cause of the behaviour (which ABA is known for not being helpful with - addressing the main issues) and c) It doesn't actually ever address anything to do with learning how to express feelings and how to work together to create a solution for future reference (for anyone of any ability, maybe this would be a bit difficult with Abbie) It only teaches the kid to behave for the reward and puts pressure on them to 'perform well' IMO, rather than giving them the tools, communication devices etc in the first place...I've never thought that Abbie is physically abused in any way. I don't think their neglect ever reaches that level. But the video today made me glad that Abbie has Asa as a barrier between herself and Priscilla's temper. I think Asa probably expresses his frustration of the situation in much healthier ways and doesn't take it out on Abbie, but I can definitely see Priscilla denying Abbie things (food, music, stim toys, blankets or pillows, whatever she feels like would equate to a punishment etc) to feel like she's getting her back. I just get really bad vibes from the way Priscilla snapped about no music like that.
i do feel bad for them because life with Abbie is never going to get easier. and it sucks for all of them that this is life from now on.He compared Abbie to a toddler today instead of a teenager. Honestly, if this is their every day, I can't see how Abbie at some point is not going to hurt someone in public. I get that they don't want all their content to be negative, but they rarely show the true reality if that household. I feel they try to portray Abbie as some princess and that's not at all their truth.
He made such a production about her I pad in her book bag and putting it in the trunk!It's also an ABA- like response...denying a child their favourite things (that may be self soothing or whatever) until they learn to "behave/communicate properly", except that a) the autistic person is just going to get even more frustrated b) It's only a band-aid solution, it doesn't actually address the root cause of the behaviour (which ABA is known for not being helpful with - addressing the main issues) and c) It doesn't actually ever address anything to do with learning how to express feelings and how to work together to create a solution for future reference (for anyone of any ability, maybe this would be a bit difficult with Abbie) It only teaches the kid to behave for the reward and puts pressure on them to 'perform well' IMO, rather than giving them the tools, communication devices etc in the first place...
She sounds pretty much on par with Abbie.. but Abbie is way lower then age 10. Sounds like they think of Abbie as a little princess.This comment was left a few days ago....now today they are showing a different side of Abbie. Yes this is speculation but I think at some point they have to be a little real with how Abbie behaves. Yes I know they have shown videos in the past of her being aggressive but as of lately we don’t hear about it as much.
Came back to answer my own question, lol. Food. Its all about frkn food. They just HAVE to eat out. Get it to go all the time and get over it.And you know, Abbie has basically been home for at least 6 weeks, doing nothing more than a ride to DD in the cart or a walk down their street. Did they not think that maybe ripping and running and going to so many places in one day might have overstimulated her? Why not ease back into to things instead of going full throttle??
She wears a pull-up to school and keeps a change of clothing in her backpack.I had a question about school once Ass said they had a bathroom in each classroom. Are students required to be potty trained at school or does she wear a pull-up that needs to be changed by her teacher? Anyone have an experience as a parent or aide/teacher?
Aww lookShe got the nose rub from Cilla lol
They know she’ll never be able to make friends, so it’s all about the land of make believe. They should know better that in order to make Abbie move & not manipulate, that it takes a firm & stand your ground personality.Why do they keep saying that Summer and Becca are her friends? I wouldn't really call them her friends as they aren't really equals as Summer and Becca are sometimes responsible for Abbie. Carers aren't usually friends and calling them friends is a bit unprofessional.
I don't get why Asa and Priscilla and their fans seem to refer to them as her friends.
Yes, Abbie likes them. Yes, they like Abbie. No, they are not exactly Abbie's friends.
I am a bit tired so maybe this isn't very well-written.
I think she probably does pretty good with the bathroom at school since they have her on a schedule.Came back to answer my own question, lol. Food. Its all about frkn food. They just HAVE to eat out. Get it to go all the time and get over it.

Asa is probably excited about that bathroom because he is hoping the school will finally finish toilet training her. Sad.
Amen to everything you said! I too wondered why the sudden showing of her taking her ipad and backpack...I don't think they normally take either with them when they go out...or maybe I've missed that? Abbie seemed confused as to why she had it too. She dumped it in the garage and then he made a big deal about putting it in the trunk, as if Abbie was supposed to know. Strange! Anyway...I have to wonder if they didn't get to the restaurant and start the "what do you want sweet girl, how about this, what about that?" Ganging up on her and flooding her brain with 50 questions at once like they always do to her...knowing full well she can't tell them what she wants! I would have decked P too!He made such a production about her I pad in her book bag and putting it in the trunk!
Did their lazy asses with their 'typical teenager' take it into the restaurant patio with them?
I'll bet hell no.
I do not feel bad for them at all.
They raised her to be violent.
She's been attacking for many many years.
It's their own doing.
The public school professionals said Abbie is unreachable.
They were right and the way she is at age 15 with no improvements just regression, is additional proof.
IMO.
She DID say motherhood was not her jam. Asshole changed it. I remember thinking what a poor excuse for a mother she is.When I first heard her say motherhood is not my jam in the video, I found that many others heard the same thing..then I went back and listened again and she said homeschooling is not my jam, and I wondered if Asswipe went back and changed it. Either way her actions speak for her. Thanks for clarifying that.
Actually this is well put.Why do they keep saying that Summer and Becca are her friends? I wouldn't really call them her friends as they aren't really equals as Summer and Becca are sometimes responsible for Abbie. Carers aren't usually friends and calling them friends is a bit unprofessional.

Big shedding dogs, a cat, dirt, dust & flowers galore! They are stupid to have all those things w/ a non-verbal child w/ allergies. They need to get her allergy tested. It’s neglectful of them if they don’t manage her allergies better. And I do believe in childhood exposure to allergens, but it’s over the top w/ them. Assa is surely waiting for some air purifier freebies.Wtf was up with Dummer and all that nose rubbing anyway?
They are all a bunch of weirdos.
IMO
