There are these two videos where they talk about it and show it. There may be others but I know of these two offhand. The second one, Asa starts talking about it around the 13:09 mark.Have they ever shown themselves restraining Abbie because she was trying to self-injure? How could someone condem them for doing something they have never shared or talked about much? How would the person know that they hold her down when she bites? I wish they would have read the actual comment.
Asa has dropped the words "developmentally delayed" a couple of times recently (says them very quickly and then moves on, like it's painful). Is that the same as IDD? I've never heard them use that word and to me they sound like different things, like developmentally delayed has more to do with physical development. But I could be wrong.
I tried to but couldn't tolerate all the BS'ing for more than like 10 minutes at most. And that's being generous. lolDid anyone watch their vlog how are we still married?
Lol @Pink Marshmallow That's why i asked the question i dont want to watch itI tried to but couldn't tolerate all the BS'ing for more than like 10 minutes at most. And that's being generous. lol
Asa has mentioned that she had an intellectual disability years ago. Maybe 2-3 yrs. IDD is intellectual/developmental disability. 25% of kids with autism have IDD which used to be known as Mental Retar.... ASA glosses over this part of her diagnosis b/c it doesn’t fit his narrative of profiting off her autism. I’m a medical professional with 2 boys on the spectrum (one of which has a mild IDD/nonverbal) the other is in the higher functioning end of the spectrum/verbal and no IDD. Developmental delay is a term by itself Usually used to describe toddlers.Have they ever shown themselves restraining Abbie because she was trying to self-injure?

Couldn’t stand theand Assa lies and stopped after 10 min as well. Same with her livestream on Tuesday.
Thank you for the info. I wasn't sure if I was getting things mixed up or not.Asa has mentioned that she had an intellectual disability years ago. Maybe 2-3 yrs.

I believe Asa got really defensive about us talking about how Isaiah was hugging Abbie back a few videos ago. Then Isaiah forceable making Abbie go into the pool and A&P doing the same... I believe more people are seeing the forcefulness that they are using with Abbie and are calling them out and this is Asa’s way of trying to gloss it all over...Have they ever shown themselves restraining Abbie because she was trying to self-injure?

This is what I'm talking about when I said Asa was trying to be strategic when talking about the restraint. He acknowledges that there have been comments about restraining Abbie, but he spins it and tries to make it seem like ppl are complaining about the times when Abbie legitimately needs to be restrained. This is not only manipulating what is actually going on, but it's a blatant attempt at deflecting from the real situation.I believe Asa got really defensive about us talking about how Isaiah was hugging Abbie back a few videos ago.

Yes, sometimes kids that are on the Autism Spectrum do have to be restricted in their environment because they could cause harm to themselves or others. My aggressive child, has had to have that happen before and it broke my heart every time I had to stop him from hurting himself or others. I refused to be a punching bag though and didn’t want him to hurt himself. As he got older, around Abbie’s mental age, we actually used a lot of distractions and redirecting to stop this behavior though...
Someone else commented on the IDD portion, straight on and I won’t repeat that but what they stated was absolutely the truth..
Exactly. That basket hold is fine and she doesn't even fight that. Holding her arms down to apply makeup? WRONG! Manhandling her to get in the pool? WRONG.This is what I'm talking about when I said Asa was trying to be strategic when talking about the restraint.

I really don't think anybody was complaining about them restraining Abbie when she's in danger of hurting herself or others. Unless it's a kid who doesn't understand these things. The majority of people are referring to the manhandling of Abbie when it is definitely not legitimately needed.
I watched it back again and Isaiah does reach for Abbie and move her out of the way. Asa kinda passively tells Abbie it's ok. But other than that, they didn't do a whole lot to comfort her. I think it could be at least somewhat because it's par for the course with Abbie in their minds. They figure that she freaks out about things so often that it doesn't phase them too much when it happens.Exactly. That basket hold is fine and she doesn't even fight that. Holding her arms down to apply makeup? WRONG! Manhandling her to get in the pool? WRONG.
Asa trying to spin things....
Why didn't someone stop and try to calm Abbie when she was crying, that breaks my heart. All she knew is mom pushed her and ran. Dang.
I agree. When they were getting her ready for the prom , night to shine, Abbie was totally unaware of the purpose of it all.Exactly. That basket hold is fine and she doesn't even fight that. Holding her arms down to apply makeup? WRONG! Manhandling her to get in the pool? WRONG.
