Yes, I agreeReporting to CPS is a waste of resources. She goes to school regularly, is seen by a therapist and regularly visits the doctor. All of whom are mandated reporters. What is going on does not rise to neglect nor abuse.

Oh I couldn’t have put it into better words myself! He thinks he knows best about autism - hello narcissism! - and ignores the autistic community when autistic people especially adults try and comment about things such as how harmful the puzzle piece is (instead use an symbol, called the neurodiversity symbol from ASAN) and how to help/teach Abbie etc.Adults with autism scare the crap out of Asa. He should be embarrassed for how much spotlight he takes as an autism expert when there are actual adults with autism who can speak for themselves.
I genuinely think that Asa doesn't regard autistic adults with the same respect as he does neurotypical adults. In his wold, people with autism are to be exploited and filmed and used as subjects in his vids. They're not "real" people to him, I think he pities them, railroads them, or autism-splains them.
This pic just screams exploitation. Pissy smiles and poor Abs looks distraught. Anything for a photo-op and clicks, right Pissy?Maybe I am missing something but this was her hair shorter last year
I think the cut you are talking about is the Bob from two years ago when she was 12, which was appropriate for her age.
wow I never knew about the puzzle piece controversy. I read up a bit and it does make sense though, kind of bad imagery.Oh I couldn’t have put it into better words myself!

Oh well, at least these behaviours of his (that I said above) show his true colours and how he doesn’t give a damn about the very community he thinks he is serving, hence why many autistic people hate him and his channel and feel bad for Abbie.
Back around the time of Isaiah’s birthday. October something.Which vlog is it that they crashed the kids party? I’ve seen many different comments about it but I haven’t seen it.
I’d rather have a root canal.Sorry no time for summary tonight, please someone fill in!
LOL. He was probably annoyed that she pointed out his error.There is a moment in tonights Vlog where they are getting Abbie out of the car and Asa tells her to get her backpack. P tells him you're supposed to point to it because of ABA. Asa goes on a mini rant about how "well humans talk to each other, I know it's ABA but...etc.." with a bit of an attitude on his face? And it's so strange to me because I feel like in the older Vlogs where they would be showing Abbie's routines and such, Asa would be very firm on this is how they have to teach Abbie to do things and following the ABA guidelines was important. I could be wrong but he never seemed so negative about having to point in the past.
Now that you say that, that's honestly what the rant sounded like playing it back in my headLOL. He was probably annoyed that she pointed out his error.
Hi I think you are right. Exploitation yes. Abuse no.Really guys? Her hair? I have two NT kids and I would send them off to school looking pristine and they came home looking they went through a war zone. Abbie rocks, puts a blanket over head, lays down and does that tightening stim, her hair is going to be messy after school. Like with the shoes, not that important.
Also....In my opinion No One from a forum or youtube should be reporting this family to CPS. You do not really know them, you aren't in their life. They are liars and users but they aren't abusing their kid. I do feel however they are exploiting her and scamming fans. Report them to you tube, get them demonitized but don't call authorities on them.
His other kid and mom knows all this now, right? leave them alone as well....c'mon
They talk to her like she's a dog or cat.I'm also annoyed they didn't distract her or suggest an activity to do at her Grandad's house when she went to the kitchen. Instead of saying for example 'Hey Abbie, do you want to play with some slime while you wait for your food?', they said to her 'Sit down!' and 'Come here'. They gave no context whatsoever.
Because it's content. And they don't care how she must feel.I wouldn't want my parents constantly filming me when I'm melting down so why should they do the same to her?
