I’m fine with it anywhere but in a restaurant, store or other place of business. I hate shoes myself. I will go barefoot as much as I can. Hell, I walk my dogs barefoot most of the time! And yes, I do live in Kentucky, haha! (It’s a stereotype that people in Kentucky don’t wear shoes)To me the shoes is one of those pick your battles type things. She obviously has an issue with shoes and socks, it wouldn't be the hill I would want to die on. Not as important as so many other things.
Which vlog is this?Mornin'
I have noticed this influx of somewhat passive aggressive, baiting type comments as well from some newbies. *gives the stink eye* Abbie is innocent.
The party crash. OMG! Why in the world would they do that? No only crash the party but film it. I think Asa was upset because his whole life revolves around his camera and content, he was lost without it and maybe upset that other lady would steal good content. But these grown assed adults should have known better, boundaries….they do not understand boundaries. They said "crashing respite workers party" not friends, workers. I know when I was young if I was at a bar party and my bosses showed up? I'd be like, "why are you here?"
Someone posted it here a few pages back. Once of FA's friend's vlog.Which vlog is this?
Is it my post about visual aids that you're referring to about being too deep and way off topic?I don’t know about you but I think this forum has lost its way over the last couple of days. This is a gossip forum about exploiting Abbie and we seem to be veering way off topic. If we could get back to our original gossiping, i for one would be so grateful. It is getting a bit too deep for me.
Things seem to be getting steered off course and I have noticed that quite a few of the regulars are not commenting, can we please stick to the topic .
No, it’s just the general subject matter. It seems to be more about people’s experience with autism and educating people which is a good thing but not the purpose of this forum.Is it my post about visual aids that you're referring to about being too deep and way off topic?
I know the post you made calling Abbie nasty names was deleted but you continue with this type post. She is not a kid misbehaving, she is not a lunatic, she is not insane. She is a severely disabled child. Her chronological age is 15 but her behavioral age is closer to maybe 2.I just watched the last vlog. Is this educational? Is this spreading awareness? I'm lost. From that start, I watched a kid misbehave, yell like a lunatic and then they say "don't be mad" when Ab is upset! ?? From 10:23 on, it's a sweaty,breathless, 15 year old is on the loose show!! Yell, KICK some new girl (to which ONLY Summer days something about it), look insane, KICK HER MOTHER, when asked for a kiss and then they go out. I would Never come back.
Wish I'd known that before I shared my experiences. Or had been clued in a few weeks ago. Were you all just humoring me?No, it’s just the general subject matter. It seems to be more about people’s experience with autism and educating people which is a good thing but not the purpose of this forum.
I more so meant that if they wanted to go out then they could arrange respite which is Becca and Summer. I also don't mind Isaiah being asked to babysit from time to time but he really wasn't asked, it was expected of him. I also just find it weird that they expect him to responsible for another person's life but don't allow him the freedom to come and go as he pleases. If he is responsible enough to bath, dress and care for his disabled sister i really don't see why they still treat him like he is a young teenager who can't make his own (responsible) decisions.To be fair, Becca and Summer should be able to have lives too. It’s not unheard of to have siblings babysit one another. Whether they have ASD or not. I’ve got a sister with autism and I’ve been babysitting her since I was 15. Some kids (or adults in Isaiah’s case) are just responsible like that.
I think a lot of it is relevant. people who are autistic or have family members with autism have pointed out a lot of problematic things with the Maass' that I didn't even notice before.Wish I'd known that before I shared my experiences. Or had been clued in a few weeks ago. Were you all just humoring me?
He is a young teenager and I haven't seen many that can make responsible decisions. It is part of what being a teen is.I more so meant that if they wanted to go out then they could arrange respite which is Becca and Summer.

It is but they trust him to make responsible decisions when it comes to Abbie so why not himself? Either they don't care if he makes a wrong decision when it comes to Abbie or they simply decided that no matter how responsible he is he can't be in control of his own life.He is a young teenager and I haven't seen many that can make responsible decisions.

Slightly off topic, but I was babysitting children starting at 12 and I definitely wasn't allowed to come and go as I wanted as a teen. It's a very weird cultural thing that we let kids be caregivers for kids and trust them not to kill them, but still treat them like children themselves. I guess I don't have anything specific to add it's just fucking weird.It is but they trust him to make responsible decisions when it comes to Abbie so why not himself?

I also personally wouldn't call an 18 year old a young teenager, he is legally an adult.
I didn’t mean to upset anyone. I have been really happy on this forum , sorry to you if have upset you. It’s just the last couple of days have been a bit heavy going. I’ll just watch for a while.Wish I'd known that before I shared my experiences. Or had been clued in a few weeks ago. Were you all just humoring me?

Your insights being a sibling are wonderfully written and oh so poignant.Wish I'd known that before I shared my experiences. Or had been clued in a few weeks ago. Were you all just humoring me?
