She should definitely get tested, it’s not unusual for adult females to be diagnosed older as not long ago teenager was very young for a girl diagnosed unless she was severe.

This really irritated me I dont think zara needs an assessment she wasting ppl time but I bet u anymoney she has it driven into zara and herself that she will get the diagnosis she wants to be ae to defend Zara behaviour. This is annoying as my sister got one for my niece ut it's definitely to defend herself when it comes to my niece behaviour. I'm sorry but your child is spoilt. I have a son with asd and my youngest is displaying more signs of asd then Zara is. Zara speech is amazing for her age when she was 3 my daughter 3 and no were near her speech. Even seeing thr little things she does my daughter can not even sit at a table in a restaurant without getting restless or lining the food up. If I give her colours she putting them in a line even down to her chips wen we go nandos
All children are different and no two children with autism are the same though. A child could have perfect speech but still have autism. I do agree that Zara is spoilt and I’m almost certain that because they live such a rigid life it’s ingrained in the kids. I’m unsure on if there’s such thing as a false diagnosis though 🤷🏽‍♀️
 
Does anyone else find it odd that she never really takes the kids out? At first I thought it was because she was cautious with Covid but seeing all the shopping trips she takes them on, I’m confused. Surely they’d much rather a day out outdoors and have a good run around, a woodland walk, a park trip, a theme park even as opposed to a trip to B&M? All very odd 🤔

Wouldn’t things like country walks/beach walks be better too than the shops as the fresh air would be far more beneficial than shops with people who have forgotten what personal space means.

It's weird. All they do is watch films. If this was a single mother in social housing, we all know what the comments would be. I think she keeps them all at home because she's so rigid in her routine and wouldn't be able to keep on top of 'getting another load on' if they were out of the house. I guess it could also be to do with the kid's being more comfortable at home, but how dull and boring. Kids need fresh air and exercise.

Especially where she lives, so close to beaches, plenty of parks and plenty of walks, no need to go to the shops at all with the kids.

And also to get so dressed up in matching outfits etc to not even leave the house. Seems ridiculous!

According to her blog she does Digital Marketing Coaching and Consulting as well as YouTube
 
Totally agree about the lack of going out. And I also notice a real lack of socialising in that family in general. My children are 8, 7 & 2 and have literally always got a birthday party, a friend round/visiting a friends house, a club, a sports match etc etc NOTHING ever seems to happen in their house! It’s like they go to school & come home and that’s it. The children attend mainstream school & by all accounts seem to cope well in that environment so I don’t think it’s as a result of ASD. Just seems like that house is a bit of a prison to me. I’m sure she mentioned that even the kids karate lessons are still being done via Zoom…really odd.

Ireland seems to be reopening slower and even here all extra curricular is in person and none offer a zoom alternative as far as I know.

I get the feeling those children are babysat by tablets and tv, she just doesn’t show it. I personally think she doesn’t want to go out, would rather stay at home so she can constantly keep the house tidy. It is very sad and it’s very damaging to the children, not only because they don’t seem to be out much (unless it’s for Instagram) but also the strict routine.

I wonder if it’s to give them lots of chill time at the weekend so they find school more manageable. Let them offload their sensory bucket before school begins again. That’s what we do with my son and his school always comments he’s his happiest on Mondays. We do parks and days out on Saturdays but Sundays are strictly home time. I don’t know what the kids do in the holidays. I don’t watch her that closely!

She will happily drag them round shops to film for content though 😓

I watched her ditl birthday video and I’d never really noticed before but when she was engaging with the kids while opening presents it all seemed a bit forced and the affection she was giving seemed a bit awkward or something? Just seemed a bit cold and I usually imagined her to be cuddly and affectionate with them.

the amount of money she is spending on Disney merch Etc is nuts-buying Halloween phone pop sockets is just such a waste of money.

agreed they never seem to take the kids too far-I wondered if she just didn’t film this stuff to keep their location more private,but I don’t think that’s the reason why. I can’t think of anything worse than going round the shops with three kids!

I honestly don’t get why she send the kids to breakfast club before school when she doesn’t need too.
I would be so pissed off if I was a parent at the school needing childcare due to work commitments and could get a space because someone like Rhi who does t need childcare is using up 3 spaces 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Exactly. Why feed them breakfast if you’re paying for and sending them to breakfast club?
 
I mean I guess she might go on days out locally and just not vlog but I get the impression she's quite controlling and doesn't like anything too unpredictable or messy. Plus she claims she's so busy with her 'work' Considering she's been doing YouTube since Zara was a baby her views aren't great. I'm not knocking the effort she puts into her content at all, but unfortunately I don't think she has the personality for YouTube and the way she's trying to blatantly engineer her channel to get more views comes off as pushy and a bit desperate.

Considering the woman vlogs if she takes them to the local B&M Bargains, I just can’t imagine her taking them anywhere and not letting the masses know about it. Everything is content to these people 😞

Morning all,
Omg I just watched her live and I can't believe she brought up Zara in Bellas Assessment saying that they would see her name on the list next and to look out for it. I defo think Rhi has autism on her brain and that's all she can think of and see. As a mummy of a beautiful 6 year old boy with autism I can see why she would think that all her other kids have it when maybe they don't but as it stuck in her head she has no other thoughts. I say this as I'm in a situation with my 3 year old daughter who I see autism with but then my partner always says to me don't think that just because our son has it u can see it in our daughter that's not always the way.he is always telling me not to compare out children and not to think like that even though I do see lots of traits. I just wana shake rhi and tell her to please stop with this and just let zara be zara. I defo feel like she babies her and spoils her more though as she is the youngest. I don't think it's right though to push this on her. I can defo see rhi as the mum who is always telling the teacher things that she sees but the school probably don't but to keep her happy and not annoy them they just say ok. I don't know rhi and I don't feel she shares the real home story but from what I see her children are doing very well in school from what she says. I would of loved to have been able to keep my son in main stream school but they said that his needs were best meet in a base even though I feel my son with his early intervention he is doing so well. I think rhi need to count her blessing and stop pushing autism on all her children.
