There have also been some bait & switch toned posts. (edit: yes jaded! well said w/ your ‘it’s as if someone is planting ideas...’)
I felt sad watching Abbie struggle through the countries at school. I’m so confused why autism is stealing these children’s lives away from them. They are forced to live in such a confused state. I pray for a cure!
Also you don’t need to go outside and walk to actually do it. You can use a treadmill.Even if you don’t want to lose weight; walking is a normal thing you should do everyday. I’m kind of surprised to be honest. We get recommendations from the health department of the government about walking everyday at least 30 minutes (but the best would be 10.000 steps a day). It’s quite a normal thing to go on a walk after dinner and if you have dogs you walk at least 5 times a day anyways. Dogs don’t poop or pee in backyards here. Big no no.
I skip through their vlogs so I'm not sure what they do with their dog but maybe now that they have two they will take them on more walks. I know they have a pool but i'm not sure how much grassy areas they have for them. It probably would be good for Abby to get out more doing a daily healthy activity.Even if you don’t want to lose weight; walking is a normal thing you should do everyday.

She reminds me of a few people I know who expected the surgery to an insta fix and everything else will work out. Of course they gained all that weight back because they didn't change their diet and exercise habits.I'm not in the best shape ever but 18 years since she's walked a mile? A single mile? How quick are these night time walks the family goes on? It's been almost a year since her surgery too. That's a whole other level of lazy.
I think all of your posts are right on and consider you one of the best of this group of educated bright individuals.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?
The difference is that Priss isn't doing either one, yet keeps boasting about her "weight loss journey." What she is doing isn't a journey, it's a round trip back to where she started because she isn't taking it seriously. You obviously take it serious, she doesn't.Guilty here. I don’t exercise and have lost close to 90 pounds in the last two years. I keep my calorie count to 1200 a day and log everything I eat. I do walk occasionally (actually rarely) as exercise but I never stick with it. I’m stopping weight loss now because I’m thin enough (116 at 5’3), but I will always have to closely monitor my food intake. Lazy as hell, I guess.
I’m pretty sure she meant that she attempted a 1 mile run for the first time but she actually had to slow down and walk some of the mile.....not trying to defend her in any way but just two weeks or so ago she walked over 5 miles in a day at Walt Disney World. One of the people in their party was wearing a fitness tracker and made a comment about surviving the over 5 miles of walking.Wait what! Seriously? Cilla just posted a picture saying “for the first time in 18 years I went on a 1 mile walk/run”. I literally laughed my ass of while translating miles to km (we use km) and found out it was only 1.5 km. Why is she proud of that? Literally everybody I know walks at least (!) 1 mile a day.That’s really normal in my country. How lazy can you be? 18 years. My god. Is this like a culture difference (not trying to be rude but just wondering) or is she just lazy?
She should be walking a mile a day, or more, with Abbie. I’m 52 and can walk 2-3 miles at a time, P should be able to do that easily. I do feel Abbie needs more exercise. Instead of going around the neighborhood in the golf cart mom, dad and Abbie should be out walking! They live where there’s mild weather year round!A lot of people are more prone to get into cars rather than walk places but if she was taking her weight loss seriously she should definitely should be walking more. Maybe that's why she isn't losing weight that fast.
I saw that as well. However,she really should be beyond having to walk/run just a mile. Had she been faithfully been doing what is required,this should have been achieved a good while back.I’m pretty sure she meant that she attempted a 1 mile run for the first time but she actually had to slow down and walk some of the mile.....not trying to defend her in any way but just two weeks or so ago she walked over 5 miles in a day at Walt Disney World.

Exactly, walking 5 miles in a day really shouldn't be an exception. Like a lot have mentioned already 7000-10.000 steps a day is recommended, the average step is 0,75 meters so to walk 7,5km means taking a little over 10.000 steps, that really isn't that special or at least it shouldn't be. The fact that they found that a challenge really should tell you enough.I saw that as well. However,she really should be beyond having to walk/run just a mile.

As for the walking at Disney,many many people who never exercise make that walk daily. It’s what they do the rest of the time,especially if they continuously bring up the surgery,seek attention for such,etc. as she does.
Photoshopped within an inch of it's life. Since when has her chin been so um longLol not everyone is buying it

my thoughts too but i didnt want to say anything since I had already been trying to teach them a few little things about autistic minds, and OP doesn’t even seem to have taken anything I said into consideration, unlike another member who was perfectly willing to research a bit more...Why do you constantly have to make passive agressive comments?! I feel like you're trying to be the boss of this thread. Just be nice
i can’t wait to read that myself later too! Your friend sounds awesomeI would also recommend reading this article which was written by my friend who sometimes communicates with an AAC. She is very intelligent and has a degree in pharmacology. The article can be found here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/theaspergian.com/2019/07/18/why-aac-is-a-human-right/amp/
