Don't they have like a 7.99% interest rate on their mortgage? With all their past issues with money I wouldn't be surprised if they already have miserable credit scores.Ahhhh, I read on another forum it was only in hers. The repair shop was in her name only.
Does anyone here work for the IRS and offer some insights?
Let’s just say, Asswipe and Pissy are low on common sense and intelligence
That’s good news cause when it gets foreclosed Asswipe’s credit will also go down the sewer.
I have a lot of experience working with ABA and autism. I do understand that Abbie has IDD even though they say her primary diagnosis is autism. This is fine with me. From what we see on the vlogs (I know it is not the full picture), I would like to point out that I believe that Abbie’s biggest hurdle is the lack of consistency, stimulation, routine, structure, ABA techniques properly being used by parents and caregivers is her biggest hurdle- not her autism or IDD.You are correct... I myself was almost falling into the whole “oh this is what autism looks like” trap. Until I came across others like Jen, Lauren Brazee etc... I started to question what was really going on with Abbie. And thanks to this forum and all you people that are more highly educated and able to teach others on this topic. They should be ashamed of themselves. Preaching about autism when they know damn well that is not Abbie’s biggest hurdle at this time.
What kills me is they always talk about how she HATES routine. But they've also talked about how once she's comfortable with a routine, she's acts out more because she's not nervous and distracted. So that leads me to think that she doesn't hate routine, they just don't want to deal with her actually needing attention when she's in a routine that isn't constantly throwing her into confusion and distracting her.I have a lot of experience working with ABA and autism.

I have worked with children with a dual-diagnosis of autism and IDD and with proper implementation of all of the things I just listed, they are able to learn new skills and gain some independence in areas that Abbie has not. I do not believe that the IDD can be to blame for her lack of skill retention.
FB gets the larger cut of that, but now that they have a business mgr, lawyers and a CPA I am sure they are covering their bases.Hey Asswipe and miss pissy, are you claiming ALL your income to the IRS? Including the $4.99/month membership fees you charge the suckers? and why is everything in Pissilla’s name, including your McMansion that will eventually be foreclosed on?
inquiring minds want to know.
I agree-they need to give her attention. Her “attention-seeking” behaviours are the only way she knows how to ask for attention. An option would be to teach her how to appropriately ask/sign/tap for attention (effortful to teach)- but then they would have to actually honor those requests.What kills me is they always talk about how she HATES routine.

If she's stable and knows what's coming they might need to fill the empty time in their schedule with something meaningful and that's too much work. Easier to distract her with Dunkin and trips.
It's also extremely heartbreaking that "attention-seeking" is always talked about like she's misbehaving or being bad. She wants attention and that's not a bad thing.... they never give her any. She's not being a bad kid, she just wants stimulation. They act like she's purposefully misbehaving but they don't give her anything to do but rock.I agree-they need to give her attention.

I remember how when she had ABA with Brandy, they would use that red file-folder schedule and Abbie was constantly referring to it- which suggests she likes routine and knowing what is coming up!
There are some wonderful private FB groups I’m a part of, such as Autism Inclusivity, which has 14k+ people if I’m not wrong. It has heaps of resources and tips, where parents get to ask questions and hear back from (mostly) autistic adultsFB( don’t know about YouTube,etc) has many,literally thousands of “closed groups” for people who suffer depression,HIV,etc. to join,keep some sort of anonymity and get help,support,etc from others. One has to join,and no outsiders( oh,am sure there have been incidences where interlopers have been accepted,then banned) are let in to exploit,etc.
That would have been a better platform for them to discuss,”teach”,ask/answer questions about resources,etc.
Of course,when they realized this would be a cash cow for them,all of the former reasons went out the window. I mean now from what I have read,they have signed on w some sort of management company to get more hits, more monies,etc.
Sure,I get wanting to have a secure future,especially for children such as Abbie,after all,one does not live forever. But there are so many,less invasive ways to go about it.
But,when you are now using those same monies to travel to theme parks,take cruises,go to Vegas(yeah,yeah,it was for an award), sorry,it’s now become a way to do all the things you never( and most families can’t/never will) you couldn’t do when you had a private sector job.
So,to whoever is reading these posts and reporting back,maybe you all should take a good deal of time and reevaluate just what exactly Abbie is getting from all of this. She doesn’t appear to like the crowds,the touching,changes in routine,etc. Even when you try to push the narrative that she is,it’s not exactly the truth!
I'd love to link the KF thread to all the parents of that school (I wouldn't do that, obviously, but for argument's sake) and then ask if they're cool having their kids on the vlogs. If I was in that school, I wouldn't want that family within 20 ft of my kid. I'm sure you're right that a ton already wouldn't be okay with it if they knew.This is random but it's been on my mind for so long...
It's reflects so poorly on JSA that they let Asa go around filming everything for monetized content. Not just Abbie's individual things, but all around the school. There are so many videos where he's filmed the other students. Directly and indirectly. Not even blurring their faces. I can't imagine they have consent from all the parents. I guess no one says anything because they help the school raise money.
Agreed. The first year and a half that I watched, she had a routine. She came home from school and was required to put her shoes away, empty her backpack and then put it away. She had a break, and then she did her work with Brandy. At that point in time you really could see progression from the beginning of the VLOGS until the move to the mcmansion. She went from constantly gagging and biting herself, attacking people, refusing to do a chore, massive meltdowns, fecal smearing, etc., and was doing better and better as time passed. They moved, and it all stopped.What kills me is they always talk about how she HATES routine. But they've also talked about how once she's comfortable with a routine, she's acts out more because she's not nervous and distracted.

Yes! I have witnessed first hand how consistency, and the list you have presented has helped( not w some of course,as it’s NOT a one size fit all,different degrees,etc).I have a lot of experience working with ABA and autism. I do understand that Abbie has IDD even though they say her primary diagnosis is autism. This is fine with me.

You are absolutely correct on this matter. I follow another Youtuber who had to relocate his family twice because of stalkers. They started receiving tons of pizza orders and suspicious packages. They ended up moving into a gated subdivision with a guard shack.I have often wondered this as well. They share way to much! Someone with mental issues gets obsessed and they have everything they need to do something really bad. Whether it be at the house or while they are out in public. They share their routines, the layout of the house, when and where they will be every weekend, announce trips and attend meet ups. With the world we live in getting more and more crazy people doing insane things, this is highly irresponsible of them and I've not seen any indication that they have any way of protecting themselves.
A$$a & Pigcilla have enough experience as burglars, so that might come in handy when they can't afford this life style anymoreDon't they have like a 7.99% interest rate on their mortgage? With all their past issues with money I wouldn't be surprised if they already have miserable credit scores.
At the very least, that's probably how Asa keeps breaking back into their home when they lock themselves out lmaoA$$a & Pigcilla have enough experience as burglars, so that might come in handy when they can't afford this life style anymore
I think a good many may see it way. I know I myself didn’t start out seeing or feeling that way when watching a bit back. But,sadly,and it’s sort of tough to say,it could very well be the case. What a damned shame. And sad as well.Here's a radical thought :
They don't do anything with Abbie because they don't want her to improve because she's easier to exploit and ignore when she lacks even basic communication.
You can’t film in school in the UK. Not even if you blur out everyone else as it’s a safeguarding issueThis is random but it's been on my mind for so long...

I agree she probably has IDD but this is why they call it a spectrum disorder. My son is on the severe end just like Abbie. As the saying goes if you've met one person with autism, you've met one person with autism. Everyone is affected differently.Their channel and entire family is misleading in many ways but, one of the ways that bothers me the most is the fact that they say Abigail is strictly Autistic when that is clearly not the case. If anyone that didn't know anything about autism were to watch their videos they would possibly think that Abigail is what autism looks like on every autistic person. (Hard to deal with, not capable of listening or not willing, I'm not sure which, unable to sit still, constantly thrashing around, attacking ppl during meltdowns, unable to learn new things, etc.) That's not at all how every person that is autistic is. They are all different. My child is autistic and is a very intelligent, highly capable, kind, empathetic, all around great kid and there are millions out there just as great with autism! I just think they need to be honest and stop leaving things out. They have put their family out into the public eye all on their own, it's time to be honest.
Well said..thank you!I’m on page 12 out of 35 so I don’t know how helpful anything at this point will be, but I cannot keep up
1. I don’t mind Summer. She had some maturing to do, but I don’t think she’s there in an official respite capacity. From what I gathered, she’s paid to do assistant work with the Vlogs/Social Media, and helps with Ab in exchange for room and board. I hope she pulls back and is a bit more professional but I see where there lines in her case have been blurred over years of being with the family.
2. Maybe it’s my history of working in medical care, but I don’t see anything wrong with opposite set caregivers. It’s normal for us to see a dad bathing his teen and have a meltdown, but at the end of the day, I trust A more than P when it comes to keeping Ab safe in the tub.
3. Not a fan of ABA. It seems they use a more modified version by not punishing her stims. I talked to a friend who has autism back when I used to watch them because I didn’t want to support anyone who mistreated their kid via ABA.
4. I doubt she gets SSDI. If they change the rules and I have to claim my wheelchairs, even I won’t qualify anymore and I’m not employed!
5. Poor Ab. They seem to have given up trying. She just sits and rocks. Maybe her preferences HAVE changed, but we do see she likes some sensory toys, especially those that make noise. Perhaps if they want to decrease the yelling stim without suppressing it all together, they should give her more noise creating toys.
6. She’s not, and never will be, a normal teen. So what?! Grieve what that loss means for you as a parent, then step up and love your kid enough to enrich their lives to meet THEIR needs. I get it, seeing your teen love toddler toys can be heartbreaking. She can’t say, “I love you,” and is uncomfortable to it’s prolonged contact or conversations. It hurts, but you get over it for the benefit of your kid.
I won’t even let the whole idea of young parents come into my judgment of how they’ve begun behaving. I basically raised my siblings, and I’m only 7 and 6 years older than them. My sister was a drug addict with mental health issues. She’s clean but won’t talk to me. I give her space. It kills me bit she’s clean and I am willing to grieve and feel the pain to make HER life better.
A and P need to stop trying to fill the emptiness they feel because Isiah is leaving. No amount of pets or stuff or treating Summer and Becca like family, is going to fill the hole. You’re still losing your eldest to adulthood, and you’ve lost your youngest to conditions you couldn’t have predicted. It’s time to give Abbie what she needs to be happy.
