I watched one video from this family and found it uncomfortable to watch.I hadn't heard of this channel, to be honest.
I'll definitely be taking a look at this family when I get back from work. As you say, their daughter is unlikely to be able to give consent.
I agree that it's important to raise awareness of ASD but it needs to be done in a sensitive and non-exploitative way.
The Chapman family are very respectful of their son's privacy- they won't film him having a meltdown or in distress etc. Ourlandingcrew are also respectful of their autistic son's privacy.I watched one video from this family and found it uncomfortable to watch.
The Chapman family on the other hand show Autism as it should be shown.
I'm not a fan of ourlandingcrew either, from the videos I watched it seems she wants there to be something wrong with each of her children.The Chapman family are very respectful of their son's privacy- they won't film him having a meltdown or in distress etc. Ourlandingcrew are also respectful of their autistic son's privacy.
I'm not sure- I don't think anyone wants their kid to struggle and be disadvantaged. I think she's just very highly strung and it may come across the wrong way. Her daughter Danielle is a PITA, though.I'm not a fan of ourlandingcrew either, from the videos I watched it seems she wants there to be something wrong with each of her children.
What's PITA?I'm not sure- I don't think anyone wants their kid to struggle and be disadvantaged. I think she's just very highly strung and it may come across the wrong way. Her daughter Danielle is a PITA, though.
Pain in the assWhat's PITA?
It's very uncomfortable viewing. They just bought a new house and it looks like a mansion so they must be making a lot of money from Youtube.Never heard of this family. Raising 2 on the spectrum myself, I find it quite disturbing that they’re filming meltdowns - especially of a non verbal child.
Mmm hmm ... well he's changed his tune (or maybe he has the quoted 20 million bucks in the bank, lol)They just bought a new house and it looks like a mansion so they must be making a lot of money from Youtube.
Wow! They say a picture speaks a thousand wordsHaven't watched any of the videos yet but had a scroll through the father's insta page.
Not sure how much 'fun' Abbie would have had at a meet up of total strangers. She certainly appears to be the only one without a smile on her face. I would have thought meet ups would be quite stressful for her.

Found an old news article about her parents' legal fight re: her education. Seems like they had some valid complaints but there's a couple of things I found odd. Coming home with sand and playdoh on her clothes should not be a reason to complain, that happens to every kid at school (pen, paint etc). While I appreciate it was the school's responsibility to purchase the ipad/app there's no way I would let my child go without for a year and a half. Surely you would buy the items and then claim the money back from the education dept? I don't think the family were dirt poor pre-Youtube were they?

They used to own a motorcycle repair shop. They closed it down to become fulltime youtubers about a year or two ago I think. I don't think they were making much money. The mom is also a top seller with Forever living or something.Haven't watched any of the videos yet but had a scroll through the father's insta page.

I don't think they should film her meltdowns, but I agree about the no filming icon on her ipad. I don't think they would do that though because I think Abbie would use it often and they wouldn't have enough footage of Abbie for $$$ as a result.Okay, I've watched the video you linked.
I was fully expecting to dislike the parents but to be honest they seem to be nice people and have a lovely relationship with Abbie.
One thing I didn't like was the way they talked about Abbie as if she wasn't there, both during her 'meltdown' and at the end of the vlog. Abbie clearly has good comprehension skills and would understand everything they were saying. Abbie appeared to look at the camera a few times when she was distressed so she seems to have an awareness that she is being filmed. Maybe I'm projecting but I don't think she likes the idea of being filmed when she isn't in control of her emotions.

I wonder if they have a "no filming" icon on her ipad? If not, then they need to add one so she can make her views clear.
Exactly. He is arrogant & forever interrupts his wife, son, & Abby listens to him best, likely out of feeling intimidated. Fans freaked out (I didn’t & thought it was over reaching) when he used the phrase once, “I’m putting my foot down,” in a deep voice to Priscilla about spending more $ than needed on a class ring for Isaiah.They are laughing all the way to the bank. Their video of them both talking about the person who reported them being 'garbage' whilst both sitting in the pool of their new 600k house- only made possible by the exploitation of their daughter.
