I do feel educated by this yes, because in my line of work every single child is different and you have to adapt to suit their needs. Seeing how another special needs child like Abbie acts helps me learn more about the conditions I have to deal with regularly.
Wrangler life is hard! Boohoohoo. /powerlevel
You're a carer. All you have to do is stop them from smashing their heads in or someone else's. Stop acting like you've got some big important job and this is some educational material. What has it taught you? To huff and puff while you waddle after the tards with a camera and to scream at her for fucking up the footage AFTER the camera is off? wow
How is this educational? Not even being funny.
As far as her back issues, I wouldn't say it's SEVERE kyphosis, but yes it's there. However, she goes to a special school, and there's every chance she could receive physiotherapy at school just like she receives SALT (speech and language therapy). There are multiple people involved in her care that are mandatory reporters, if her health needs were being neglected and someone in regular contact was seeing the physical effects of that, I would like to hope they would say something. Obviously that's in an ideal world, but she goes to a pretty big school that they actually got into through taking her old, mainstream school to court for not providing her with enough education support. The previous school allegedly said she was unteachable, which is obviously not true as she has now learned how to use money, simple sign language for what she needs and is still learning vocational skills at school now.
1) "There's a chance." So you don't know that they even give enough of a fuck to even address a condition that appears painful. Hey, it's not HIS back, and it's not FatheringHunchback. Why should he give a solitary single fuck, amirite?
2) Do you think in an overburdened system that anyone gives a shit about a very unpleasant and violent asshole tard having significant backpain and her medical neglect? My bets are on no.
3) If she receives physiotherapy at school, it would be specifically related to her IEP/educational goals, just like all therapies at school. They do not work on ADLs that do not apply to education. I thought this was your background?
4) She understands how to slide a debit card with a tard wrangler guilding her useless meat hooks. That does not mean she understands money, can count, or has any life skills. Prove it. She uses ASL for words like "toilet" and "eat" inappropriately and excessively. She absolutely cannot hold a job that is useful in society. Okay, maybe she can stuff envelopes or put salad dressing into a 2 oz. container for restaurants, but honestly, while it's nice and feel-good, the truth is, she would require 1:1 supervision with a wrangler over her shoulder stopping her from doing exceptional shit like drinking salad dressing or just getting lost. Her brain doesn't work. She's profoundly intellectually disabled. SHE EATS PLACEMATS.
Development delay/intellectual disabilities =/= fully exceptional. The best way to put it is Abbie's mind is more that of a young child, in the sense of understanding of other people. When a child develops, they only start with a concept of their own needs. Babies cry because they need something, they have no concept that they shouldn't cry at night because mum and dad are sleeping or that if they shit all over your bed whilst changing its a bit of a pain in the ass for whoever has to clean it up. Then as they grow they reach the next stage of knowing that there is right and wrong, but their level of empathy is still limited. I would say Abbie is around this level. Here a child may say "I want a cookie, because I like them" and be upset when they're not allowed it. There's a bit of a gap between knowing if they need something or want something still, and not a lot of knowledge of how actions have consequences, hence why children will eat way too much chocolate until they're sick, because they don't think about what will happen if they eat too much, it's just "I like chocolate so I will eat it!"
Look, you're a tard wrangler, and you're way out of your league talking about this shit. Abbie is not like dealing with a Downie who has the emotional and intellectual intelligence of a sixth grader. Abbie has no concrete language. There is zero evidence for this. A young child (like a preschooler) can understand a concept beyond simply asking if they fold their hand a certain way, they might get cookies to shove down their gullet. Abbie doesn't have that. She understands reward and punishment, comfort and discomfort. She's roughly on the level of a six month old.
A child at that stage of development can still understand everything they are being told, they just need some things explained to them. They're not completely stupid. Abbie has intelligence, just not the suitable intelligence that a teenage girl should have, hence the diagnoses of delays in both development and intelligence. She just a big toddler basically.
Toddlers understand, "We are going to the store." Toddlers can communicate concepts, such as, "I love you." Abbie's yelling, moaning, and grabbing onto people are not communication. They are stims, by her parents' own admission. They mean very little at most, often meaning nothing. Abbie cannot simply have things explained to her the way you would to a three year old. She has only learned delayed gratification through ABA training using reward and punishment, similar to the way you'd train a dog.
As far as how they treat the lad in that video you mentioned, I need to go back and watch it as I don't remember it. But the camps he volunteers at are literally entire camps of people like his sister, most needing full personal care including having their asses cleaned. Probably got a good amount of kids that like to smear their shit around too if I was to guess, that's a common one in severe autism. If he really hates looking after his sister so much, is he gonna go to a camp for multiple days where he has to be surrounded by kids that need a lot of care like she does?
Abbie is profoundly mentally handicapped. Of tards, people at her level of mental handicap are about 1.7%. I know they're in FL, but almost certainly, most, if not all, of the tards at that camp have a higher functioning than Abbie. Shit like that looks AMAZING on an application to university, and Isaiah almost certainly had an easier time than being with Abbie.
Oh and the house is big because, according to the family, they would like the carers to be able to live in house to provide the care Abbie may need. Whether that's true or not I have no idea, but I do remember them saying they were sorting the legalities out of having the house left to the kids in the future and planning ahead with what investments they want to make so Abbie will have her care funded for after they die.
I don't give a fuck about that house. As much as Asa, self described dadx2, lies about shit like secret children, I doubt he's telling the truth on this.
The parents might be shit people, but as I said in my last post, I watch the channel because I care about Abbie. I skip through most other stuff and pay attention to videos about therapies and actual autism centred topics more often than not because it does genuinely help me with my work.
Tell me how it's helped you learn to tard wrangle, specifically. I'm waiting. I really want to hear this.
Do you watch it because you "care about Abbie" or because it's "educational?"
BTW, you STILL didn't address that the issues with Asa threatening Helen and being a criminal are CURRENT, not in the distant past like you like to pretend.
