Skitzocow Aaron Michael McCluske / Aaron Specialneeds - 65,000+ YouTube videos and counting...

[Super Collie]

Bit of a milestone today, Aaron has uploaded his 60,000th video. Unfortunately it's just one of these:

Mom call is up.

It's hard to hear her over the TV, but she says something about walking down to some kind of center to check on her application. Sounds like job hunting.

Even though Sarah is very autistic herself, she has the capability to be semi-independent, which she's proven.

Just speculation at this point, but maybe they wanted to separate them for Sarah's benefit, to get her away from the slow-in-the-minds window into hell. In the words of a noted expert on Autism,
I highly recommend mainstreaming, lettin' 'em go though normal life. I mean yeah, give 'em the special treatment while they're young... but when you get 'em in elementary or middle school... or high school, mainstream is the way to go.

I'd agree, Sarah is absolutely higher functioning than Aaron even if she is a bit of a baffoon. Sarah's YouTube account (one of them) has a handful of videos she's uploaded where she hung out with a friend on her birthday and they watched movies and had a picnic lunch or something. So, she's got a social life of sorts (she's also still in high school so what happens after that is yet to be determined).

The impression I get from their split is that Aaron is certainly a trainable and I think they intended for him to take care of grandma and grandpa. He could do menial labor, but the issue is that he needs a special type of coaching, and he needs supervision from people who aren't frail and elderly. He keeps talking about how he had a "token" reward system when he was in school -- it's only my opinion, but it would be wise to bring that back. If Aaron wants to eat a handful of Hazelnut Kissies and flash sexy eyebrows at his webcam while he does so, he should have to first do his chores and help his grandmother, etc.

Does he talk favorably about it? Because I know from personal experience that sometimes the token system just does not fucking work on some people with autism. In my experience, they have to understand why it's important to follow rules or help others before they can do it, which a token system absolutely does not provide.

Aaron's talked about being on one in the past. He had the choice of eating out at a restaurant or getting temporary tattoos as rewards. He always went for the tats.

There is literally nothing okay about this.
I'm genuinely worried for Aaron's grandparents, especially his grandmother since she's very ill and alone when grandpa is out. I can imagine him tardraging and hurting her, even if it was a momentary lapse in judgement. The fact he's so smug about being lazy and useless around the house (when he is clearly capable of taking out the garbage) really diminishes my sympathy. Smugness and entitlement is just one of those things I can't stand. This guy does have genuine mental disabilities, but being smug about letting your elderly grandparents do everything is just shitty and it's not cute. Just like calling your mom names. Even if Aaron's mom is okay with getting called a hag, it's still a fucked up dynamic and letting your children disrespect you is never a good idea- functional child or otherwise.
Another thing is does the mother know her calls are on YouTube? Out of context, it looks really bad for her. I'm not gonna judge her, because there's obviously some gaps in the family history, nor do I know what it's like to take care of 2 severely needy children. While dumping the kids on the grandparents may not of been the best move, I can't get on my soap box and brand her a shitty mother, especially since she's apparently taken in Sarah again.

The whole Carrie thing is also disturbing. I'm not saying that Aaron is dangerous to Carrie (does she even live in his area? If she's out of tricycle range she's definitely physically safe) but I would be immensely upset and worried if I were here. Like everyone says, he probably misunderstood their friendship. I have to assume that they at least had some relationship since there's photos of them together.

I mentioned in the Sarah thread that she seems to have a shot. Under the right conditions with the right supervision, she could function and maybe even work a simple job stocking shelves. Aaron is fucked. The best he can hope for is a decent care or state facility that treats him well.

There's a creepypasta where the narrator finds some weirdo website that just has disturbing video clips- specifically one of a legless and armless man breakdancing and eventually collapsing and crying from exhaustion- and that's what I thought of when I saw these videos.

Aaron is actually kind of a dick.

Luckily that was utterly fake. Probably.

Drinking game - for every newly uploaded video containing the following, take a shot:
* If it's about Carrie.
* If it's some stupid slideshow and totally out of context.
* If he he's slightly off-centre (ie you don't see all of his face, he totally misses his shin alot.).
* If it's about a radio channel.
* If it includes a cellphone.

You're perpetually drinking at best, dead of alcohol poisoning at worst.

Aaron seems to think she's still in/around Pittsburgh, but there is evidence online that she went to college away from there. If he even got back to Pittsburgh it's pretty certain he'd get lost a minute after leaving the airport, or not even able to find his way out of downtown where the bus terminals are.

The only thing Carrie has to worry about is Aaron finding her social media accounts and her phone number or address (whether home or work) and the flood of calls and mail that would follow.

To be fair, downtown Pittsburgh is a maze.

Because Aaron is "the mental age of a 1st grader", it could just mean that he genuinely has some weird 1st grader "LOL I'MMA BAD BOI"/bully complex going on, which in itself is bizarre. It's just a "nana nana booboo u can't tell me what to do" facade. It probably just got progressively worse and worse throughout his childhood and has never stopped... Aaron is 25 and is built like a 25 year old man, so when he has these 1st grader bully tantrums, he really could easily kill his grandparents due to his strength and size. And obviously these episodes scare the living shit out of his grandparents because they've called the police numerous times, if they evidently cannot control him and have to call the police when he gets out of hand, why not just send him off to a group home? I mean that way if he tards out, five able-bodied people can restrain him with ease.

I'm getting a real "Chris would've raped Megan if he had the chance" vibe off of this. Aaron is a total doofus, he lacks the resources and ability to actually track Carrie down much less travel back to Pennsylvania to stalk her IRL. Taking a trip or simply just leaving the house to do something
takes money of which Aaron has absolutely none; his handlers manage his finances, he's never seen a dime of his disability money in his entire life. That's why he rides a bike to places and never buys anything when he does so.

The only danger Aaron poses to anyone is his grandparents if and only if they piss him off and he tards out, which he has in the past so that's really the only concern.

Cue the A-Logging.

I honestly think Aaron just parrots what the people around him say and think. Aaron is devout and religious because his grandparents are. I'd bet money on the fact that they're also "good ol' Southerners" and got pissy over the fiasco with the Confederate flag, and I'd also be willing to bet they're xenophobic and racist and don't want Syrian refugees coming into Texas (which Aaron also made a video about).

These aren't opinions and feelings that Aaron's formed on his own. When Aaron thinks for himself, he does shit like this:

Yeah Aaron is way too impaired to form any meaningful political convictions. He'll parrot shit he hears but there's no way he understands what the confederacy represents.

 

[MysticMisty]

why not just send him off to a group home?

They're really expensive. I don't think they're free even for poor people on disability. He'd have to be taken into state custody for his family to not have to pay for one. And that's not going to happen even when his grandparents die. He'll just move back in with mom and she just has to hope he won't burn down the house.

I think a lot of mentally disabled people are like this because they have a very limited ability of forming their own opinions. I believe you nailed this perfectly.

Shit, really? Here in Canada, you can just whisk your kids off to group homes whenever you please. Cost free.

That's probably the most depressing thing I've read so far this year.
