Watched her latest video on how to game the Disney DAS system. She literally uses the disability system as if it's some great hack that she's discovered. It is absolutely infuriating!
Firstly, she says that having 'difficulty queuing' is a symptom of autism. That is really misleading as autism and the way it manifests in individuals is complex, so whilst it's true to say that some people with autism may struggle to queue, it certainly isn't universal. Her children don't show any signs at all that they struggle with queuing beyond what would be expected of neurotypical children of the same age. Children generally hate queuing and get bored easily. The fact your kids didn't want to sit at your computer painstakingly prebooking attractions with you is not evidence of the fact that they struggle to queue. I wouldn't want to sit alongside you whilst you did that either as it is super boring!
Secondly, the tips on how to make the most of the DAS are in really poor taste when DAS exists to allow disabled guests to access the parks in the same way as other guests and it is not intended to give them a superior experience. It is clear that Rhi uses the queuing time to have meals, go shopping etc so that effectively she can get on loads more rides than other guests that can't queue and eat three course meals simultaneously. Disney really need to crack down on this as it is blatantly unfair and will encourage people like Rhi to use the service even when they don't need it.
Finally I watched the Paddy McGuiness documentary last night about his autistic family. His wife Christine reminded me so much of Rhi. The only difference was Christine was more honest and open than Rhi and seemed to genuinely want to understand her autism. I felt like she didn't necessarily view autism as a negative, inferior trait in the same way Rhi does. This is why Rhi can't begin to confront her issues as underneath it all, despite what she says, she believes that autism is a negative thing and she couldn't be the all controlling, uber organised matriarch holding it together for her family if she conceded she needed support too.
I’m coving all weathers
thats what i would of done
