A Peek Inside, Part 24: Day Trips For Andrew A Bore, Food Galore, Still Nothing For ROCKSTAR's Future In Store. He's sinkin, Steve Unthinkin, Dar Drinkin, Never Shrinkin - A Peek Inside.
The alarm on his bedroom door always reminds me of a prison - but even prisoners can go to the toilet without setting off alarms.
My heart just breaks for him. -

Still confuses me how Andrew was being thought about so much at the start in regards to being trained for years to eat lunch from a container to make him feel comfortable and then all of a sudden, who cares, routine is off and let's get pastries.
It's almost like his needs are secondary and content filler? -

So, after a snap decision to go exploring that wasn't on his calendar, he was still happy enough to sit outside and calmly eat his snacks without rushing?
Noooooooooo. Surely not - because they have tried everything and the best they have is an isolated dinner at afternoon tea time where he still rushes. I wonder if there may be a reason he is not rushing?
Also, they left at 9 and if it takes them less than an hour to drive there, they were home by lunch. No way they stayed there very long, especially if Andrew wasn't interested and the first set of swings were unusable. (Who the hell thinks a swing set in an abandoned complex would be maintained and safe for a grown man to swing on?) Yeah, no thought went into this at all.
Of course on such a happy family outing we get a sombre story about mass graves, lovely. From all of her advocation on the topic, I still don't even know what it is. Such a good educator and guide.

A Peek Inside, Part 23: Pioneer Tent Gains, Channel Wanes, Princess Is Blue, Rockstar's Not True. Contentment She Fakes, Frozen Muffnut She Makes But Ass Must Be Hurty Sitting In Palace So Dirty. - A Peek Inside.Darlene has no problem because she’s built like a linebacker, but grandma could easily be hurt if Andrew acted out.
Thought this might be interesting, in our area we say this term as
"Built like a brick sh*t house"
and I thought that description suits Darmean perfectly. (A s-house is an outside toilet)
Does Canada not have regulations to ensure disabled toilets? We do here and our Costco's all have the massive independent stalls that are built for wheelchairs etc. They could both fit and move around in one of those.
Also, I'm curious. What does Costco have that is so interesting for her? The times I've been all I have ever seen is a grocery section and what seems like a clearance section where companies sell their leftovers and people think they are getting a deal. We know she doesn't go there (otherwise she would have picked up the fan) so she is driving 2 hours to go get groceries... They aren't any cheaper, they just come in bigger packs. I honestly can't even see her motivation because that whole trip would be such an effort for her. -
A Peek Inside, Part 23: Pioneer Tent Gains, Channel Wanes, Princess Is Blue, Rockstar's Not True. Contentment She Fakes, Frozen Muffnut She Makes But Ass Must Be Hurty Sitting In Palace So Dirty. - A Peek Inside.Is it wishful thinking to hope that he drops his ipad, a horse stomps on it and they can't afford to replace it? (Though I know how traumatic this would be for Andrew)
She would only cry on camera and ask others to send their old one. If she did it for a simple old video player, no way she's covering a "mistake" of Andrews. Andrew would just have to melt down in the basement all alone and wait.
Scary thought, but what if there is soundproofing on the basement and that's why he's down there? Afterall, then he can have whatever "behaviours" that he does without comfort without her even being bothered by them.
Other than meltdowns, stimmimg and dealing with being held captor by neglectful parents (in the least) - I can't see what else there would be and Andrew would be 100% normal to have any of those "behaviours"... -
.I can't imagine what would happen if they had a big weather emergency that could cause their power to go out for days on end. I wonder who would have the bigger meltdown, Andrew or Darlene.

Long time no chat, but I have a few thoughts that have been building up...
I don't think that her face is melting as much as we think it is. I think 50% of it is literally lost muscle tone. She never smiles and if she is not going to smile for a camera/job, there is no way your life brings you any joy.
I am not a medical professional, but I think Mr Amazing may be on the spectrum. My husband is and was only diagnosed a few years ago. The way she can control him, the way he acts, his choices and abilities all look like that may be a possibility. I spend years trying to build my husband up before we knew - without that support from the one person biggest in his world, he would have had no chance either. The sad thing is we are only just learning now that there are many lost people who are undiagnosed.
This DOES NOT excuse him for allowing Andrew to treated the way he is. He is a father and a functioning adult, therefore he is as abusive to Andrew as she is, no matter the reason. He could do anything, even tipping off authorities which requires no strength.
In regards to what she says and how she acts, I don't think she would know? She has no friends and the people that she interacts with are dominated or paid by her. I don't think she actually has the social skills to know what is appropriate or not. She's only learnt passing skills and that's why she gets so excited when she talks to people in the store (and may be one of the reasons she shops sooo much) or why her hair and nail appointments are do important. She is literally starved for human interaction.
What is her end game of "20 years of happiness" after Andrew going into care? I get that that statement has probably been blown to hell recently, but what does she view as happiness? What is she waiting for? Mr Amazing will still be there? I am obsessed with humans so I'm fascinated by them, so I genuinely want to know this. This is the goal to be on a beach somewhere in the tropics? Bungee jumping? Needlework crafts? Horse riding? Gaming? Bird watching? Fashion? In her head it can't be watching tv or buying food because she does that now and that's not making her happy, so what is she wanting?
***
That's all I can remember for now but just wanted to say thank you to you all. I've had personal stuff happening for the last 2 years and popping on here in the early hours of the morning and watching you all care and support each other had been my contact to the outside world and friendships. You are all so nice and have supported me in more ways than what should be possible for a gossip forum online 😂. 💕🙋 -
Mom Cooking "Misconstrued", No Enrichment for Andrew, Darlene Created the Mess that's Causing Him to Regress-A Peek Inside Pt. 14 - A Peek Inside.
Now I know why I love this thread so much! Not only are we fighting for the same changes, but there are a lot of us that have similar histories (great hubby, grit & 8 cats here too 😉).
Maybe it's the fact that we have been voiceless before that we can see Andrews pain?
Oh, and I forgot to say - that money is his.
I had family members in the same situation and the child was better off in savings than the parents because they only took bare minimum for board. All of her expenses were covered by her money so there was no need to take any more. When the child died, the parents got it as her next of kin, but that was after 60 years of caring and the end of life costs had gutted it.
Darlene is just a greedy and selfish human that will never experience true joy in her life. -
.
I wonder if A even knows how bad the finance outlook is? If J needed to keep it all flowing so that they still looked well off and A wouldn't leave? I don't know why, but I get the feeling A will leave when the money stops becoming easy so J will be holding the reality away from her.
Afterall, who would spend $500 on clothes when their business is failing? -

So up for this. Am I the only Aussie (or NZ) in here? -

Thought I'd give my thoughts as I watch. Apologies for the lack of ability, but I thought I'd try out the fun 😊
Alarm on his door? WTH for?
Those plates/bowls are for babies! Ridiculous for someone who apparently gets adult vitamins "because he is the size of an adult". Of course he's going to be looking for a snack afterwards...does she not understand how hunger works maybe? Maybe she's never felt true hunger herself as there is always a constant trickle of food being ingested.
Imagine just waking up and sitting down for breakfast while you listen to your mother tell the world about your lack of ability. That's gotta be a great feeling to start the day off with!
Why does he go straight to the dungeon? Why couldn't he be choosing his own clothes, making his bed or some form of dance session to "rock out to" with his whole body and get movement into his body? Anything really.
Self care: Darlene has to wash his face and his teeth because he doesn't have the hand strength and doesn't know how. Hand strength? HE IS A 15YO! There is 0 reason he should be that weak, especially his hands. And even if he is, who's fault is that and why on earth would you not address that problem straight away? Have him brush his teeth and you finish the hard bits for him. His face is properly cleaned every night so his face cleaning doesn't have to be perfect. Give him the wipe and let him be to do it fully. Ugh!
She always has to be close, at least 1 floor away at all times. Why? All he does is tech in the dungeon. I doubt she can help with that. She offers nothing else for him. Why can't she be on the same floor as him? Why isn't he outside?
He knows time and she's SO PROUD of him. Here's a thought, do chores by time. Bed making at 7, teeth at 7.30. He is a long way from being stupid, so this would be easy to do. Even if she added just 1 thing every 3 months (which is glacially slow), he would be 99% independent by now. Instead nothing's changed, if not worse. And I wonder what she uses that time for instead?
Treats, treats, treats. No wonder he likes going to Walmart.
Not enough hand strength to wipe is face, but enough to open treats - ok then. A must be one of those unfortunate people who have varying degrees of hand strength throughout the day. Maybe he could wipe his face after the snack while he is in a moment of strength?
After an hour of being out - they are back at home with a snack that was bigger than his breakfast - and then they're out again to lunch. Why not just go to Walmart later and get lunch on the way home?
They're out at lunch and he is busy eating his meal. Apparently this isn't good enough though. A needs to be directed when to stop drinking, when to open his chicken etc - all the while he has a camera in his face being told to "wave hi Andrew, WAVE HI!". Seriously? I kind of hope she gets sick when she's older (if she makes it that far) and have someone else treat her like she's treated Andrew. I even volunteer for the position.
2 mins (which was actually less than) of "deep pressure therapy" the way she is doing it is useless. Then, he gets told off for making sounds. WTH?! She HAS TO know that during those moments he is stimming - that's where the relief comes from. You don't sush him for it! I'd like to sush her... And even if the weighted blanket was $500-$600 and she couldn't afford it (I don't believe he either of those statements but, anyway) - why doesn't she get him compression clothes? It does the same thing, they are specially designed for autists, cheaper and have a longer effectiveness. There are endless options she could have implemented over the years for cheap/free that would now be benefiting HER now, but she is even too selfish to meet her own future needs. 😂 As for him being restless - it's because you have a 15yo who does nothing physical all day every day. His body needs to move and will do it one way or another. I know if I haven't moved much, I feel uncomfortable. To a neuro divergent person - it could be agony. If he did physical activities as well, he might be more comfortable in his body and not need to be drugged to go to sleep - among another probably 50+ benefits.
"He's fixated on the calendar". No he's not. He has 0 control over his world, environment, body and life so this is the only way he can get control.
A is having quiet time on the couch, D comes up to annoy him. He clearly pushes her away to be alone and what does she do? "Andrew, what do you want. Use your words Andrew. Use your words!" F off Darstupid. He wants to watch something and has communicated that with you. How thick can someone be?
She's not filming him eating his dinner for his 'dignity'. Yeah, because everything else she shows is respectful to his privacy.
Finished.
Well, I didn't know I could hate her more but here we are.
My 2 reoccurring thoughts throughout the video were:
It's like she's never met an autist before.
&
I wish I could wrap him up in peacefulness and security.
Thanks for letting me play.

Mom Cooking "Misconstrued", No Enrichment for Andrew, Darlene Created the Mess that's Causing Him to Regress-A Peek Inside Pt. 14 - A Peek Inside.No one is more fake than Darlene. Besides the obvious lies in her clogs, apparently she's been buying 100 at a time for a few months now. Other than that zero subscribers since December 2019. Counting the 100 in June above she's done it 7 times over 6 months.
What caused the 3 big spikes? Does anyone know? -

Darlene has everyone in that house under her thumb. I don't think she *intentionally* is trying to kill then, but she will. And after, she will have EVERYTHING she wants and will probably kill herself with food in the end too. Sorry if that's harsh, I don't have much tact 😂
The whole situation is just horrible.
I often wonder about Sarah and her life now. I wonder is she ok, how she is piecing her life together, how she deals with her family dynamics etc. I'm so happy she has a life of her own now.
This has me thinking though. Are there any YouTubers that cover that type of content (ie: narcissistic parent recovery)? I would love to see that journey and skill set.
