I was thinking Angelman Syndrome. She seems happy all the time and laughs at nothing.
Oh wow. She fits a lot of the symptoms.

Wow! Given your son’s food limitations, then you all are doing great! I’ve gone through periods of being repulsed by food (result of Crohn’s Disease) and it’s tough. It’s given me quite a bit of sympathy for kids who have issues with taste/texture/eating/etc.

Yes, that is what I am focusing on as well. Removing the stress because it only makes things worse. I am a much calmer parent when I take my anti-depressant daily, so that is helping tremendously. I am giving him much smaller portions and bites each mouthful. He seems to do well with soft things like mashed potatoes/corn/spinach, so I make a lot of that stuff. Yogurt also helps get him to swallow what is in his mouth (as he tends to pocket food). I also don't make him clean his plate. Tonight we got through with only two times of spit out food! That was a win! He then had his multivitamin with yogurt, and snacks before bed. It's a whole process. I just have to remind myself that he is not losing weight, so it will be ok. He dropped a bunch of weight a couple of years ago due in part to horrendous abdominal tics plus weaning down one of his meds, so that feeds my own anxieties over this.

Ok, enough of that. Now back to the Massives.

Thank you! The pain is sporadic. When I coughed and get up, it hurts. I just hate paying for X-rays. I can be a big cheap-ass.
orthopaedic nurse here Hug a pillow to brace yourself when coughing, sneezing, standing up or basically with anything involving torso twisting or clenching. It wont take all the pain away but will help support and hold the ribs (like an arm in a sling) and should reduce the discomfort

People with Angelman Syndrome have particular facial features and Abbie doesn't have any of those. Yes, she does share some of the behavioral traits but having her lack the common physical characteristics, I'd say she most likely does not have it. I'm not a medical professional (of course).

Common physical characteristics include:

- Prominent mandible (jaw or jawbone)
- Wide mouth with widely spaced teeth
- Flat back of the head
- Microcephaly (abnormally small skull)
- Usually has light colored hair and eyes compared to other family members
- Frequently protruding tongue

(Info found through google search)

Had a client years ago who has Prader-Willi and everything had to be locked up
I know someone who has it. She has autism too, although she’s verbal. The fridge and the food cupboards have to be locked otherwise she would raid them. Once a birthday cake was left out and she ate the whole cake. She also has a slight curved back and a very similar gait to Abbie.
I think they said before that Abbie was diagnosed with Pica, but that’s very different. I know Abbie chews her hair sometimes, but we don’t see her eating lots of different materials unless they just don’t show that. However, they do have their cupboards locked because she would just take the food and she also takes whatever is left out, grabs food from others and often has meltdowns when she sees other people being served while her food hasn’t arrived. PWS isn’t well known so it may be she was misdiagnosed. Of course her parents haven’t helped by only teaching her to sign for donuts and crappy fast food restaurants.
I also think Abbie looks very pale a lot of the time. I know she’s not that keen on the heat, but they live in Florida, so I’d expect her to have a bit of colour and look healthier. Sometimes she looks so washed out.

I just wanted to wish all Tattlers a happy Monday. Sending healthy vibes to all the tattlers dealing with some sort of illness/pain/hard days. I have learned so much from everyone on here, and I appreciate all of your insights.

My cousins kid just got diagnosed with Angleman. She definitely does not have that.

I have very limited knowledge and experience of this but I’m basing this off Katie price’s son Harvey who has it. He is very very overweight and is a little bit older than Abbie. I would have thought that Abbie would have been putting on weight from a much much younger age. Up until now she’s been quite skinny.

I think she’s pale because her skin is just pale. P&A’s skin is very fair too P just burns it to a crisp!) I also think it’s got something to do with her atrocious diet. She has nothing with any nutrition in. She is only really in the sun when she’s in the pool, otherwise she avoids it.

I was listening on the radio this morning and got a shock: they announced that it is Selfie Day… So, Happy Selfie Day!!!

Yes, a non-sense holiday here in the US (we have a ton of them)… But, many businesses, especially smaller ones, capitalize on these days, drawing in customers…

Just another reason that A&P have no business opening a business. If I knew a holiday was coming up that was 100% what my business was going to be, I would make sure that I was up and running before that holiday came, not the week after..

Yeah, my husband made me see the doctor after 3 nights of screaming in my sleep every time I rolled over. She touched the specific place and I yelped so off for x-rays. I hope you get the x-rays just to be on the safe side.

A nice platter of pickled veggies would be a big hit in Kermy’s corner!! Lord knows it’s always hoppin’ in there!
Oh lord isn't that the truth. Don't be surprised if @Kermy adds a SelfieWrld for us. I wonder what the booths would be . Kick assist in the balls, slap Pigcilla in the face, shove camera up asshat's bumhole, etc.

I know someone with angelman syndrome. Nothing like Abby. Abby is not happy, laughing, smiling a lot for no reason. Have no clue why this started lol

Prader and Angelman both deal with the same gene. (15 I think.... this virus has me a mess) they do share some if the same characteristics. And often autism is also present.

So if you subtract the signs of autism... Abby has none of the other indicators. Yes not every person has all the things... but there are super common ones she doesn't have. What she has that is similar could be easily attributed to loads of other issues.

Plus you know if Abigail had a rare conditon Ass would be exploiting that long time ago. More so with his veiws and engagement being down... clickbait the crap out of misdiagnosis... maybe throw a lawsuit in there.

But yeah.... I am no doctor but have a lot of experience with disabilities of all sorts. Hundreds, if not thousands, of conditions share the same symptoms. You can make any one of them fit if you want them to.

Eta... and IF she had Praders Abby would never refuse any food.... never not want to eat. And that is not the case. There are times she doesn't want something. Or refuses food.

I believe it started because of Abbie laughing at something out of the blue. She also gets mad for unknown reasons as well. it must be so hard for her not being able to fully communicate. I can’t even imagine going through it personally.

WASSUP!
Dare I say I am ready for this SelfieWrld BS to move along? We all know how that is going to go. Straight SOUTH ! #bigfatfail
I need some Pigfuckles travels the US eating all the thingth in my life. I am ready for poonamis in a RV. Moobs hating his pathetic life as he empties the shit tank and re-levels the RV for the 11th time by dusk. I want to see his eyes brim with tears as Abbie honks and threatens to kick a drunk Mama Sow over a bag of pretzels. Travelmaass aka Travelfataass. Bring it on!

LMAO! They are furry. Imagine all that those dolphin nubbies have been through in their lifetime. Overworked and under appreciated.
I had pineapple upside down cake and jalapeno chips for breakfast. Definitely not a norm for me, though I am sure The Fuckles can relate. I do believe Mother Nature is driving this sleepy, slap happy train of sarcasm this morning. Woooohooo!
