I am a size 10 and weigh 135. NO WAY is she is a fucking 14, that is a bald faced lie. She sure is fooling those fans though.The top photo looks like she just ripped a really satisfying fart, the bottom photo is what nightmares are made of. I still don't know how she claims to be a size 14. Im 5'3" weigh 150 lbs and wear a size 14. She is literally 3 times the size of me. I don't try and fat shame people but its hard not to when they blatantly lie about their weight loss
I am really enjoying your posts. I think they are well-thought out and written. Given me quite a bit of insight at the same time.Hard to say without proper assessment (like everything, it is just a hypothesis), but honestly I don't think that Abbie will ever learn to speak, let alone form sentences. It is hard to really tell, because the critical period has passed a long time ago, however Abbie was exposed to language from the start. Our brain is wired to acquire language and it needs complete loss of exposure to not learn at all (think feral children like Genie). So i think that Abbie understands quite a bit, but the cognitive software to actually fom words is simply not there.
Fun fact: most feral children and children with inhibited speech acquisition do much better when it comes to sign language. I'd say focus on that. I am not crazy about those made up kindergarden signs though. If ASL is to difficult (and I don't doubt that it is), try Makaton. I don't know why her school kept them for so long. The other thing would be her IPad.
Generally speaking she should focus on single buzzwords. If has a solid vocabulary with a couple of words in every category (and that is a big if), work on two words. And for the love of everything that's holy, Asa, let her figure stuff out on her own without immediately jumping in. Trial and error is so important for leraning.
Sorry for my lengthy posts, by the way. I tend to talk in endless monologues when I like a topic (another Autism trait). I just hope it isn't too annoying.
I mean there are skin care products that are rather expensive (don't know about 100 bucks tho, that's insane), because they are hypoallergenic, vegan, the ingredients are ethically sourced,... Slimeife is none of those things. I checked the ingredients once. Just mix some old candle wax with tap water and empty a bottle of drug store perfume over it. The result is about as good as their overpriced sludge.

- Abbie's diet... She's getting chubbier by the month, but used to be very slim. I get that all teenage girls get a bit chubby at times, but it's linked to hormones usually, and I thought Abbie was
my friends 16 yr old autistic son smells his fingers all the time.This is a very good question. It's hard to tell really. Sometimes it's like she's signing eat or starting to then stops. Other times it's like she's smelling her fingers or something.
I notice the fingers in the nose when she's in the kitchen helping more often than when she's rocking on the couch. But she's definitely got a fingers all around her mouth and nose area thing. Whatever it is.
I do not recall them ever addressing it.
Maybe they are used to it?
Kinda likeand her nose rubbing habit?
Nobody's addressing that either.
WelcomeHi!
I'm new.
I've been watching Fathering Autism for 2 years or more now. Ever since they did that episode of 'Special Books For Special Kids'.
I have thoughts:
- Abbie's progress has completely stalled. Honestly, I haven't seen her achieve anything "new" in probably the whole 2 years. If anything, she's gone backwards. She used to do some things like unpack groceries, unload the dishwasher, vacuum. I haven't seen her do any of those in months.
- Why is Asa so obsessed with Abbie learning her colours? It seems like they've been working on the same 3 for months and months. Some days she can do, other days she hasn't got a clue. Why are they continuing to bash away at this skill? I can think of at least 10 that would be of far more benefit to Abbie than knowing 3 colours.
- Abbie's entirely random signing. They say they want her to be able to communicate with the outside world and "we know what her signs mean", yet there is very little effort to correct her constant wrong usage. She signs "bathroom" constantly? For attention? Call her bluff and take her to the bathroom, MAKE her sit on the toilet. "That's not what you wanted? Then sign correctly". It's a bad habit they've allowed to escalate. "She uses bathroom to get out of stuff"? So what? She'll quickly realise that sitting on the toilet for 5 minutes is a hell of a lot more boring than whatever 30 second task she was asked to complete. Yes, she's intellectually delayed, but she's not stupid. She'll learn. Might take longer than the average kid, but she'll learn.
- Abbie's diet... She's getting chubbier by the month, but used to be very slim. I get that all teenage girls get a bit chubby at times, but it's linked to hormones usually, and I thought Abbie was on some sort of puberty/period delaying drugs? But then you look at what she's actually eating... Large bowl of sugary cereal, a doughnut "every day", multiple snacks, large meals. To be honest, she's probably reached her adult height. She doesn't need the "feeding up" you would give to a pre-teen. She needs the maintenance diet appropriate for a young woman.
- The rest of the family's diet. Asa is also getting fatter by the month. Pres doesn't seem to have lost any weight in months. Isaiah isn't getting any slimmer, and even Summer is filling out... And those tiny shorts Summer wears constantly... I just wanna be like "put your vag away Sum!"
- The stims. Honestly, that yelling stim would drive me absolutely bat-shit. I know you're not supposed to subdue stims, but I'm sorry, that one would have to go. It is so incredibly invasive on everyone else in the home. I don't think anyone on earth would complain or condemn them if they used ABA to see that one off.
Didn't Abbie pick her nose till it bled a few times in past vlogs? I remember a couple of vlogs where she wound up bloody when tinkerI don't think they've publicly addressed her nose picking habit. Usually if she starts doing it, Assa quickly edits it out. The first Vlog Becca did she was picking her nose right at the beginning but Becca ignored it and just kept talking to her.
If she’s completed five miles I’ll show my arse in the shopping mall.
You can’t possibly go from zero to five miles so quickly in her physical condition, what a big fat liar (literally )Yeah ok, and I just climbed Mt. Everest in 90 degree temps with high humidity.I lost 15 pounds!
Maybe all the fat talk will push her to do it. She has a long way to go before she could get a tummy tuck, they would have to do skin reduction surgery also.I reckon she’ll lose the weight, could actually care less. I reckon she will get plastic surgery (already got fake teeth I think). Try to get a free tummy tuck etc become poster girl for mlm. She is really addicted to social media and appears to need that validation. It’s a house of cards though. Intangible, fake, inauthentic bull shit.
Dang. I forgot about that!!!Didn't Abbie pick her nose till it bled a few times in past vlogs? I remember a couple of vlogs where she wound up bloody when tinkerwas driving? I know she gagged herself as a stim, but did she cause herself to bleed when she did it?
Oh hell yeah...she is totally lying.If she’s completed five miles I’ll show my arse in the shopping mall.

I thought she was getting veneers and implants, but I agree with you!Maybe all the fat talk will push her to do it. She has a long way to go before she could get a tummy tuck, they would have to do skin reduction surgery also.
She does not have "fake" teeth.
All kids pick their nose. The #1 cause of nosebleeds in children is picking with allergies being a secondary thing. Or even allergies causing nose itching etc, scratching and bleeding. It is very common.Didn't Abbie pick her nose till it bled a few times in past vlogs? I remember a couple of vlogs where she wound up bloody when tinkerwas driving? I know she gagged herself as a stim, but did she cause herself to bleed when she did it?
She should be called hogocchio with all the porkies she tells ( pork pies lies in Cockney rhyming slang )
She is getting two implants because she had problems with abscesses in the two teeth and they had to be extracted. No veneers that I see.I thought she was getting veneers and implants, but I agree with you!
