God I hope it's something like that and not because something happened to Ami

It’s almost like a school clique from the sounds of it. I think if I had mum clique like that I would be looking for an excuse to leave it! Who has the time or energy for any of that?

CAK is a very bizarre account. I stopped following ages ago as there were a lot of sen red flags. A lot of self diagnosis and weird behaviour, same for the sen account cak was tagged in yesterday. There seem to be a lot of mums on Insta desperate for their kids to have diagnosis after diagnosis.
It’s funny because she never mentioned having autism until recently but since she did I think she thinks it means she can tell everyone else what to do in regards to parenting their autistic children. I mean in yesterday’s story rant she basically said Sen mums aren’t allowed to say they’re tired because it’s offensive to their children? I tell my kids they’ve exhausted me all the time

Its a shame she left I like many followed her on story on Instagram, always wonder if she okay and Ami, I think it must be 3 years now, but completely understand how toxic that place can be. I hope she doing alright all the same.

same! I really hope they’re both okay. I wish I’d known Grace was going to come off insta so I could’ve found a way to keep in touch with her! We used to chat quite a bit via DMs!
Anyone else noticing that A, the woman on the collagen and kid account is becoming a bit nasty? Just watched her story, calling out a sen mum and being really rude. it is probably for maybe the 3rd time this week alone she’s tried to get her followers to block someone else’s account. Watched the other woman’s story and she was crying her eyes out. The correlation being that every single one has called her rude or asked her to watch her tone in a round about way. I think when so many people are saying it she might want to change her approach

Agree and putting that to one side, I just dont see why its ok to dress your child in something that isn't fashionable but then buy nike or Adidas for your neurotypical children. Its segregating them. Kids want to be fashionable not embarrassed that their mum has put them in something one of their insta friends makes that's ableist and shares their medical history with strangers passing in the street. The brand reps for these businesses should know better and the people who own them are just as bad as the nursemum. Theres no need to embarrass your child and dress them differently to their friends, but then to advocate you want your child treated the same is just a joke. I'm over the 'I'm a disabled mum to a disabled child so only I have a voice and I can talk about neurotypical mums but they cant talk about me or voice a opinion' thing too.Ugh, exactly. My son is autistic, his brain is amazing and I honestly wouldn’t change him for the world. I am very positive about neurodivergence (I’m neurodivergent AF myself) but when I see those “Ausome” t shirts, hoodies and bags being touted all over Insta, I think... do I want that emblazoned all over my child? I will raise him to be proud of who he is, but likewise I’m aware that he will have struggles, and the main source of those struggles will be other people out in the wider world. So there’s no way I’d have him decked out in autism merch.
It’s not even about raising awareness/acceptance of autistic kids, it’s almost exoticising them.

I hope they’re doing OK. It’s so strange to think that Grace was on IG all day every day and then she just vanished. She obviously found a lot of friendship and support online and I hope she isn’t lonely without it.
definitely agree with both above 
think it all speaks for itself, someone using an opportunity to talk about a situation/person when they have no chance to reply (by way of no longer using the platform) and trying to turn other people in and out of the community against them? stinky behaviour for me.
a&g have always been SO likeable and endearing and it was always so clear Gwould fiercely protect not only A but what is “right”. they’ve clearly got a life outside social media which others don’t seem to have.
duno why this other person doesn’t focus on her and hers instead of spending so much time trying to call everybody out.
must be exhausting tbh

Honestly, I might have said before, but to me it didn’t seem that sudden, just because the signs had been there for a while that Grace was under a lot of strain.
Her own health was declining and she had been suffering with terrible lymphoedema in her legs. Apols if I’ve remembered that wrong, I remember one of her ankles being very swollen with fluid for some time? She also had issues I think with her spine? It’s been a while since she’s been on, so I could be misremembering. It was also clear that mentally the pandemic was taking its toll on her. Early on there was talk of people with learning difficulties being given DNRs and things like that. It was a very hostile environment for people like Amy G and let’s be honest, it still is. It must have been hard for her seeing so many people on Instagram casually breaking rules without having to really worry about what the virus would do to their family. Yes she came on stories with a smile, but it was clearly getting more and more strained.
Would be great to hear how they both are obvs but it doesn’t seem like anyone on here knows anyone she is in touch with which is a pity.

It was obviously her, it was the week where she made a big deal of her one year anniversary of falling out with kisscub. She not only did stories she had to do a post to mark the occasion. She was the friend who wanted to have her friends level of influence on Instagram, she wanted to take kisscub down and turn people against her. She was on instagram talking about kisscub on the day someone joined tattle and talked about their falling out, it was obviously her behind it. It wasnt even kisscubs thread, it was on Kathleen's thread, who she is friends with, she knew people would talk about kisscub leaving the gram and want to know about the falling out, good way to get more followers if you talk about yourself on tattle. It's manipulative and abusive to have circle arguments, where someone never lets it drop and the other person is silent and bringing other people into it is wrong on another level, she claims kisscub gaslighted her during their friendship but it clearly looks like it's the other way round, it was over a year ago and shes had to mark it and bring attention to it all over again, she came on tattle pretending to be someone else so she could talk about it and make herself out to be amazing so people on here dislike kisscub and find her account to follow because she needs the followers so she can sell ableist t shirts to make money. She did a fundraiser before too didn't she. The sen community of insta mums need to open their eyes, its toxic activism.Just had a look back to see the posts where she pretended to be someone else, hilarious!
she even gave herself a glowing commendation

Has anybody heard from Grace yet? I often check Instagram to see if she's reactivated her account and still think of her and Amy often. I do hope they are happy

Exactly, haven't seen those specs in ages, just loves pissing away tax payers money for attentionI’m glad you said that because I felt exactly the same (and I’ve never followed her, just looked at her Insta when she was besties with Kisscub, and also more recently). Just got that impression from the few occasions I’ve read her posts.
At one point she had her daughter’s Irlen syndrome in her Insta bio FFS. Irlen syndrome isn’t even recognised as a genuine thing - it’s a pretty controversial diagnosis. Speaking of which, does the daughter still wear glasses with tinted lenses anymore?

Was hoping there might be an update on them both as it’s been a while, hoping they’re okay as always

Someone posted something about Ringtons on another thread and it reminded me of Grace. I hope they’re doing ok. Trying to think how old Ami would be now? 17?

Agree, it's a weird obsession she has with G. She reminds people of their falling out but keeps photos on her account of G and A. Its intentional, alot of people miss kisscub and dont know anything about CAK or them falling out. She used G to get followers from the start, latching on like a leech, now she keeps photos there to lure in new followers. I'd log it with the police if I was G. I wouldn't risk putting my knickers out on the line to dry if I was G because CAK is probably in the bushes waiting to grab something. It's a weird obsession she has. Theres some sen insta mums who are friends with CAK but I know for a fact she has slagged them off behind their backs, some of them have taken CAKs side not realising what she has said about them.She’s too busy to do any more activism at the mo, learning a language is time consuming
Can we talk about the fact that she still has all the photos of G+A on her page still? Seems a bit strange to keep them all up if she hates her so much. Particularly the ones of ami as she is a child. I wouldn’t like to think someone who hates me is still displaying photos of my children on their very public Instagram, especially as G has taken her Instagram down.
I’m presuming it’s so people recognise her as Gs old friend when they scroll down aka another aim to try and gain followers.

She comes across as being keen to make a name for herself like some of the other sen accounts who name others they dont like or talk in a arrogant manner and then play the tone policing card. Theres a few of them, her, thenursemum and others. Their whole accounts are ableist. Their bios, posts, the shit they talk. Theres no need to put anything about your health in your bio. If people disagree with anything they say they get abuse and told they're not a ally of the disabled community. They're all pathetic. Behaving the way they do is damaging not just to the sen community but to the individuals they aim their attacks on. Its abuse disguised. Theres different types of verbal abuse and she does quite a few of them. The tone policing argument is valid in some circumstances but there are people who will abuse the tone policing argument in order to cover their verbal abuse and excuse it. That is not ok. Its bullying and abusive. Kisscub should come back on here and I'm.wingin.it.too should buy one of those t shirts CAK makes. Its unreal how abusive CAK is, the gaslighting has been evident for a long time but people continue to support her and enable her to bully others.
