Sometimes they also say that she is having a rough day or say that this behaviour is actually good, because it is her "communicating"No, you are spot on. Abbie often misbehaves. Grabbing food, stealing food, one time grabbing a stranger in an aquarium. Yet she never is disciplined for it. Assa always says that she has no concept of cause and effect and that punishing her doesn't work, but I call bullshit. They simply don't follow through. Usually they laugh about it, which teaches Abbie that her behaviour is perfectly acceptable. Sometimes they also say that she is having a rough day or say that this behaviour is actually good, because it is her "communicating"(put a big bullshit sticker on both claims).
When she attacked Prissy, they actually "disciplined" her by not giving her a bath that night. That did nothing but confuse the hell out of her, because she either forgot the situation completely or it was done and gone. Punishment (that she "doesn't understand" anyway according to our autism expert) has to immediately follow and not hours later. How was she supposed to make a connection?
They don't know tit about autism. Most of the stuff in Asas little monologues is blatantly wrong (as in 10 minutes on google are enough to verify it wrong) They know stuff about Abby and even that is lacking. They just pretend to know about autism. It wasn't as apparent in the earlier vlogs, but it is very clear now....
How is that behavior "good" or communicating? She's stealing (grabbing) food off of others plates (even strangers), grabbing people (even strangers), "eloping", attacking her mother, stripping naked and running around the house, shredding pull-ups and smearing fecal material around, destroying things, etc...How is that "good" or "communicating"???
