exactly!! and in addition to all these invisible physical injuries that could cause someone to use another restroom, there are a myriad of other unseen problems that may impact someone. anything from developmental delays to severe anxiety or PTSD - why would he, of all people, supposedly mr. advocate, assume that someone is just trying to skip a line?Regarding using a handicapped restroom or stall. I was in a car accident where I broke a vertebra, ankle, upper leg, and arm. Since then I use a grab bar to stand up after using the bathroom. It hurts to stand up on my own and my balance isn't quite right. I'm okay walking around. Changing from standing to sitting is sketchy. It may get better, it may not. I look fine. You just don't know by looking at someone what they may be dealing with.
He thinks he's an advocate, the only thing he advocates on is how to fix drones, getting new flooring, house, furniture, cars and most importantly lying.exactly!! and in addition to all these invisible physical injuries that could cause someone to use another restroom, there are a myriad of other unseen problems that may impact someone. anything from developmental delays to severe anxiety or PTSD - why would he, of all people, supposedly mr. advocate, assume that someone is just trying to skip a line?
Thank you, as an autistic I agree with your take of what they said!I agree, I think kids and adults like Abbie are often underestimated in their ability to understand things. She does appear to understand basic instructions, she can misinterpret certain things as most autistics do, but on the whole, she's a good listener. I definitely think she's not being given the correct help to fulfill her potential. I think she needs encouraged with the abilities that she has, that way she will either maintain or increase her abilities. Abbie does have a voice, just not a verbal one and often when she's' trying to communicate she's being ignored and misinterpreted. A&P need to do a lot of work to understand nuances involved and look at everything to do with autism outside of the basic things; sensory etc.
That person commenting has no idea about the autistic community. Most of us have no problem with people knowing we are autistic. Generally speaking, the autistic community (at least online) embrace our identities. It's not a disease, but it is intrinsically a part of who we are whilst acknowledging the difficulties we can encounter.
EDIT: Just noticed that person that commented is same age as Abbie (14) so I can forgive them for their comment.
EDIT2: Though that person is right! They do exploit her. I just disagree with the first part of their comment slightly just for the autistic community as a whole, but most of us aren't exploited online by our parents. It's funny they've been told they are disgusting by a kid.
I’m plus size (and working on it). Disney rides are super accommodating - definitely they all would have fit. It’s Universal (Harry Potter in particular) that gets people. So if you are “Pooh sized” don’t be afraid to visit Disney!I feel like Becca had to be with the Brazee kid because her parents wouldn’t fit on any rides, so they need someone to go with her. Amusement park rides are not designed for 300+ lb people. Same goes for assa and pigcilla, they probably didn’t fit on some of the rides either. And I have my doubts that Abby needed a wheelchair. I feel like they did it to look more disabled for more special treatment. I watched some of the Brazee beasts vlog and that poor child looked miserable the whole time. It was a giant spectacle of a day for all of them, it wasn’t about the kids having fun.
I was confused about that too. It’s not a “great” place for autism. My fam member went into hysterical screaming at age 4 when we entered Magic Kingdom around the same time a parade was happening. Ella kept repeating that she wanted to go home. (sorry if already mentioned)OMG!!! P is going to write Disney about how it is confusing entering the rides with DAS.. Seriously? Does she know that they already have a full panel of parents, educators, Moms, etc. on a panel that have addressed this and Disney has stated that it is part of the park!! This is the reason most Autism families stay far away from Disney!! The sensory alone going into the rides is way too much!!! It isn’t Disney’s fault and you can’t ask them to conform it to you!!
“Raises my hand”Hands up if your name is on "the couch" and you now wish u could burn it.
Did you ever see the image I made for you? lol“Raises my hand”I was stupid.
Huh?“Raises my hand”I was stupid.
I’m blocked ! I’d love to hear his excuse for breaking the rules ! Unbelievable! Has absolutely no regard for rules ! Someone needs to post the rules and say “ who did you see to get permission I’d like to film my vacation as well “? Guaranteed he would delete !Btw again rules don't apply to him.....
Disney's website
"Selfie sticks, hand-held extension poles for cameras or mobile devices, are not allowed in any theme park"
It seemed like it was just the parents enjoying themselves.. they had all the respite so they were free to enjoy themselves. All the kids were being filmed all day pretty much looking miserable. Who was Disneyland really for?I see Asa mentioned the reason Abbie signs "bathroom" so often is because the bathroom is quite and away from all the noise. You need a sign to know she doesn't want to be there? Well...that is it!
