Also they claim they are "teaching families about autism". No, A&P, no you aren't. At least not any more. That's long gone. You're teaching people what NOT to do with an autistic child.
They had a golden opportunity with this pandemic and they completely, utterly squandered it.
Few channels, none with the reach they have, were making any detailed content about "families with autism" navigating the last 4-5 months. Sure, they made content but with the exception of a little bit during the first couple weeks of things being serious it was all the same standard family vlog
tit they've been doing the last ~year. They could've pivoted back to autism awareness & education, actually providing helpful information. That's why I started watching FA again for a little bit, hoping to find at least some solidarity and comfort in these hectic times.
There's a much smaller channel I watch that does focus on actual autism awareness and they've done a lot regarding how the family has been coping with these changes. Mask wearing, the transition from school to home learning/therapies, and just the daily life of managing everything going on have all been covered as a more primary focus rather than as an afterthought in a "look at our stuff!!" vlog.
That focus seems to have done well in increasing that channel's views.
But I guess that's not the direction FA wanted to go, huh?
