Yeah they use Medicaid for Abbie. That's a handout in her terms. Republicans want to severely limit and slash Medicaid.
Priscilla is so ignorant she's actually destroying her own future.
Priscilla will gladly sell her daughter's image and soul online for freebies and money.
She loves handouts like Medicaid but will call it socialism like Trump Republicans unless she's using the said handout like free pull ups / diaper briefs and Medicaid.... Respite... All funded by SOCIALISM TAX DOLLARS, Y'ALL!!!

Parents in Jacksonville who have children with autism and rely on Medicaid met downtown Friday outside the Department of Health, demanding action.
Last month, the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) threatened to cut Medicaid reimbursement rates for therapists who work with children with autism.
Parents like Priscilla and Asa Maass know what it’s like raising a child with autism.
They have a 13-year-old daughter Abigail who has severe autism and she’s been receiving applied behavior analysis therapy for the last five years.
"It’s amazing, with Abigail she’s now able to go grocery shopping with us and she’s able to bath herself and do all of these life skills that many of us take for granted,” said Priscilla Maass.
Together they’re joining other families to rally against the proposed Medicaid reimbursement cuts for providers who treat children with autism.
Last month the AHCA announced it was considering the changes which would impact behavior analysis and other positions.
“With the changes that Medicaid wants to put in place for ABA therapy, the services are going to be reduced drastically,” said Asa Maass
“We have gotten to where we are now because of the last five years of ABA therapy and we want that for other people, they should have access to that,” said Maass.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville parents with children with special needs are upset with the Agency for Health Care Administration.
Armed with placards, they rallied outside its Jacksonville offices and inside met with state officials to express their opposition to proposed cuts and other changes.
"We need out voices heard," said parent Asa Maass.
Maass and his wife Priscilla were at the rally and the meeting.
"Parents are feeling they're not getting the services their children need," she said.
They have a 13-year-old daughter who has been living with Autism. They know the challenges.
"As Autism parents we have been fighting from day one to get services for our kids," Asa Maass said.
Their daughter has been able to receive services for the past five years. Three months ago, she stopped receiving help from Medicaid.
"The program helped," she said. "She's now able to go to the grocery store and attend family functions."
They're now Content Creators and they're using social media platforms to help other parents.
"As a mom, it hurts me to think of the other kids who are so much younger to not be given a chance to get where our daughter has gotten because of these services,' Priscilla Maass said.
