Tonight's vlog was basically Summer's vlog, as it was about Abbie's weekend sleepover with Summer, interspersed with Asa's vlogs about his weekend with Isaiah while Priscilla is out on yet another "business" trip. The difference in Abbie's attitude and demeanor with Summer versus at home is like NIGHT AND DAY, and it is because Summer is actually willing to engage with Abbie and center the weekend and all of the activities around her. Summer's dad is staying with them and he plays his guitar for Abbie. They make breakfast together and Summer finds a way to involve Abbie in the whole process, then Summer tells her they're going to go to a local art market and the beach. Summer's dad provides a soothing guitar soundtrack the entire time. I genuinely LIKE this vlog.

They go to the art market and walk around for a while, and Summer confirms that the guitar guy is her dad and he's staying with her. Apparently Abbie got stressed out by all the activity at the market so Summer, instead of insisting she MUST stay there and grabbing her and pulling her back in, takes her to a park to walk around and decompress. Then it cuts to them at Chick-fil-A, before hanging out and chilling to music at Summer's place. There's no nonsense of shoving cardboard and paper at her and running off to talk to a camera. They're having a little living room dance party together. Summer is also NOT afraid to tell Abbie no to some of her requests--"No, you already had a Sprite Zero!" "You've had two coffees today already." Yes Summer has her flaws too (which seem to come out when she's around the Maasholes), but this vlog shows how much she genuinely cares about Abbie and wants to engage with her on her own level. A stark contrast to her parents forcing her to go along with whatever they want for content.

And it's better content! Like I said, I genuinely enjoyed watching this vlog.

ASA might not vlog until pricella gets back from her work trip this week.

I don't think this outfit looks Bad, it does look very tight & uncomfortable. Looks like she could use a size up. It's amazes me how nasty & rude the follower's can be.

He posted a new vlog on his YouTube channel today and it's not that interesting and pricella goes out of town on a business trip again this time without ASA course Abby has school so he has to stay at home with her. And he rented a electric car wow 😳.

what the heck is abby wearing? so ugly. who would wear that. yuck poor abby

Abby had a meltdown cause she couldn't get coffee at her favorite place dutch Bros. So ASA made her a homemade iced coffee cause he said that she doesn't get to go to Dutch Bros every day. He posted it on Instagram threads

I didn't get a chance to do this yesterday, I was super busy. Strap in because this is a doozy.

Priscilla is making what Isaiah calls "a holiday dinner." The occassion? "Well, it's back to school! We're celebrating because was survived the summer!" Ah yes, you survived having to be in close proximity to your daughter for 3 entire months (excluding when she was at camp or with respite). She says that "a friend" texted her and said "I don't know how you do it, my kids go to a program 2 days a week!" I don't think there was a friend, I think she's reading our comments on how Abbie should be in a program. She thinks it's bragging rights for her that she's a "good parent" who doesn't send Abbie to those terrible "warehouses" (Asa's words) but instead just neglects the hell out of her at home. It's not. It's REALLY not.

Apparently Priscilla had to be told personally that she is not to bring peanut products or seafood to school because of an allergy this year, because Priscilla brings Abbie hibachi and seafood boil and other such niceties to brag that Abbie can have fancier lunches than others. I do NOT have a problem with a parent packing luxurious lunches for their kid, but Priscilla doesn't do it because this is what Abbie prefers. She does it specifically to flex on the other kids that Abbie's mother is so awesome that she can send Abbie to school with seafood boil and bento boxes, and theirs aren't. It's parents like her that are causing schools to eliminate all luxury items in the name of "equalizing." (I don't agree with this practice AT ALL but that's not what this thread is about.)

We get a full example of how Priscilla and Asa use that "wait. Wait. Wait" ABA command to get her to do whatever they want. She's trying to take pictures of Abbie's first day outfit and keeps barking "Wait. Wait. Wait." until the pictures and videos are over. This is how they get her to stand compliant for their content, whether or not she actually hates it. They've literally programmed her to perform.

Then finally, we get to the part of the accident. It cuts to Asa's truck breaking down, and he and Abbie are safely on the side of the road. Holy shit, that's an actual busy freeway! The other person's recap didn't give me the full image of it. A bus driver offers them a ride, but Asa refuses it because he can't film it for content if he and Abbie just get on the bus to safety. He says that his wife is showing up to take his daughter to school and he'll get a tow truck. And then he takes Abbie, who is KNOWN TO ELOPE, across that busy ass freeway. He has to grab her and pull her away from the road. He tells her they're just going to go to Target, which is ACROSS the freeway, and he's standing there RECORDING and LOOKING AT HIS PHONE the entire time he does it. He says he hopes his truck doesn't get hit, while taking his vulnerable daughter across a busy freeway. His vulnerable daughter, who keeps trying to break away and dart off into the road! It is so much worse than it sounded. Finally, they reach a crosswalk and he says they're going to stand there and wait for Mom while he calls a tow truck. When she shows up, Asa remarks that Abbie's excited to see Mom when in reality she was terrified by that freeway walk and she's relieved to see anybody and that it's over.

After spending most of that dangerous romp across the freeway worrying about if his truck would get hit, Asa's truck does, in fact, get hit by a motorcyclist, who ends up in what Asa calls "the worst case scenario"...though he says she just has a broken leg, "worst case scenario" implies much worse than that. He quickly tacks on an "I hope she's okay" before going on about how horrible the whole ordeal was FOR HIMSELF. Himself, who got out alive without a single scratch and wasn't even involved in the accident at all. Himself, who precariously took his autistic daughter across a busy freeway even though he could've taken the ride from the bus driver, all because the latter would mean he wouldn't get content. We have a similar freeway (complete with a Target) near me and there is no way in HELL I would EVER attempt to cross that thing in ANY circumstance, nor would anyone who takes care of me ever attempt to get me across it. In the end, Asa says that he is thankful...because he's okay? Because his daughter's okay? Because neither one of them got hit while crossing that freeway? No, he's thankful that "it was only his truck and not his Harley."

And I just realized, he documented all of this and posted it online; that should be so fun for him if the motorcyclist or her family ends up coming after him for his culpability in the accident!

I can't with these people.

So I watched the vlog which you can find on FB AND YOUTUBE.. did he hit the car ? Or did someone hit him ?. He was so worried about his coffee in the truck. Of course he had to vlog this. Normal people wouldn't. But least he got abbie to safety. ... he just mentioned a person on a bike hit. Or was someone elise hurt in the other car. Scary stuff.

Priscilla makes a post similar to this every freaking year. We know Abbie is in no such "vocational program" and that they plan to send her to school indefinitely for the foreseeable future and that's why she will always have "first days of school" for life. Honestly? It's impractical. I get that she needs a place to go, but Abbie is taking up a spot in that school that could go to an autistic kid who will be able to take part in the transition program and graduate. Anyway, boo hoo she was supposed to be "at a different point in life" except she and Asa both admitted that "different point" was supposed to be endless hedonism and eating and drinking around the world. Forgive me for not displaying any sympathy after that came straight out of the horse's mouth.

So "first day of school" for life? Do they plan to keep her in "school" straight through her 30s? Will they be dressing her up in a first day of school outfit and taking FB pictures and sending her off to a school full of kids and teens when she's in her 40s? While the other kids head to the actual vocational program, transitional program, and graduation will Abbie still be sitting there as their only remaining student from the Class of 2023? All while paying 60 thousand dollars a year to take up a space in a highly rated, highly sought after school known as one of the best schools for autism in the country. She should honestly be in a day center. That's her future, whether they want to accept it or not. They need to stop thinking of it as such a shameful thing as if "forever first days of school" is any better. Even college students and grad students will leave school eventually!

I'd like to know how long ASA can go for a week without videoing Abby

In tonight's vlog, Asa explains the trajectory for Abbie's foreseeable future: she's going to remain in JSA (her "vocational program") "until she is ready to leave" and then they plan to "travel full time" after Abbie is done with JSA, whenever that is. In reality, it's going to be when they can't pay for it anymore. Keeping Abbie in JSA beyond her 22nd birthday will cost 60 thousand dollars a year, and the Youtube and Slimelife money is drying up and the boutique is dead in the water. They're living in a dreamworld! How exactly do they plan to spend their life traveling when they KNOW they're going to have to pay for Abbie's school from here on out?! Do they really think that the Youtube channel and the grifting is going to keep them afloat forever?

Asa admits to overwhelming Abbie by taking her to her JSA open house and then immediately taking her to a loud, active restaurant and she had a meltdown. She had absolutely no time to decompress from the socialization at JSA. He knows this, even explains exactly why it happened, and insisted upon doing it anyway. Or maybe P did, because nothing gets inbetween her and her feeding trough.

Asa talks about the Medicaid waiver that pays for Abbie's school until she's 22. That waiver is going to go away after this year, so he plans on switching her to a program for IDD! Now would you look at that! When money is on the line Asa is TOTALLY willing to admit that Abbie has IDD, but when it comes to grifting mindless humpers, she only has autism and nothing else. Well, if it pays for her to stay at JSA it is nothing but a benefit to Abbie. But I wonder exactly what their endgame is. Abbie will never be developmentally "ready" to graduate JSA, so when exactly do they plan to start their fabulous life of eating and drinking internationally (you KNOW that's all they travel for)?

Some of yall are truly insufferable and need to seek out mental help. It's totally fair to critique Asa and Priscilla's parenting styles and debate whether or not its ethically okay to be posting Abbie online, but to be hate-watching their videos day in and day out to just come on here and spew some of the most vial remarks DAILY makes me think you genuinely have something wrong in the head. And I think the videos are fine, it gives Asa and Priscilla the opportunity to be at home with Abbie full-time and at the end of the day greatly improves her quality of life. I just came across their content a few weeks ago but it looks like their doing the best they can with the cards they were dealt. Practice a little more patience, and realize these are real people you're talking about here.

Priscilla your not tired your just fat and lazy. barley Parnet abby like her dad does

I'd like to know what's going to happen on tonight's vlog I know he said back to school and show us Abby's school clothes for school or whatever you want to call that place she goes to.

I don't watch the lives. I have to rely on transcripts from Tattlers and people here if anything happens in a live, because I'm not willing to waste hours listening to that woman talk about nothing. At least with the vlogs I can do stuff in the background or pause the vlog and come back to it later. But apparently in a live last night Priscilla said she doesn't want to be friends with or socialize with autism moms because it reminds her that she is a mother of an autistic daughter and she just wants to escape from that. She thinks autism parents do nothing but talk about autism and their children all day and "she'd have nothing in common with them besides autism." And so this is why she runs off on trips with her fake ass Slimelife friends. Because when she's with them she doesn't have to think about being Abbie's mother. She really does hate her daughter and hates the reality her daughter created for her. She hates EVERYTHING about having to be a mother to Abbie.

The real reason is because no decent parent of an autistic child would want to hang out with her or her husband. They'd see how the two of them treat Abbie and immediately nope out of there.

Imagine swimming in that nasty fucking water they were in. Barf.

Not to mention gators….snakes….
