Never seen anything so sad in all my life! The most miserable child at Disney on Ice. Where’s his light up wand? That’s right, just the tickets were gifted and no way Ash would spend £32 on one for him.
None of my kids had naps at that age, they stopped around 2.5. I was at Disney on Ice myself and thought it was more a girly show. Mostly Disney Princesses with some Toy Story and a little Minnie & Mickey. No way Ash is going to say that tho.
 
Her little boost in followers after her giveaways and TM appearance are slowly showing themselves the door.

Treat yourself, Ash. I'm sure you'll buy more bots soon.

You know the way she’s always like, Ada is desperate to walk / she’s desperate to crawl, was she like that about Alfie? I wasn’t around in the early days.
No she just moped around london moaning about her life with him in a sling all the time. She never did baby groups or anything even though they had started up again by the time Alf was 2/3 months.,

She still blamed lockdown for not being able to do anything with him 🤨
 
Alf’s expression is quite normal for an ND child, I’m afraid to say. You get so over-sfimulated by sensory triggers - I imagine fhat Disney on Ice is a riot of sound, colour and movement - that you shut down and go… blank.
I used to go to a lot of rock concerts, because I am actually obsessed with music (it’s my greatest joy in life: I was born with perfect pitch and the ability to just pick up any musical instrument and play it, and it’s got me through the worst and most difficult times. Sorry, merail). I remember psyching myself up for days, and for days after the event, I would be very flat and fragile. An overload of stimuli has varying effects on me, from withdrawal to limited self-harm. Alf looks completely overwhelmed. If AJ is having him assessed, she should know that one of the key features of autism is the inability to cope with numerous sensory triggers.
Bless my dearest @InTheDollsHouse for your kind words the other day - I’ve just emerged from my pit, shaky and exhausted, but no longer aching.
I hope that everyone else is doing well, and that no-one else who is ND/has ND family or children was too triggered by the horrific Mrs Hinch reveal this week. Ashley, announcing that your child has autism (and Mrs Inch piggybacked on to her son’s diagnosis and claims also to be autistic - I have my doubts) needs to be done with the utmost tact and sensitivity, because Alf is too young to consent to having his medical information revealed to the public. You could help a lot of people with ND children if you do it in the right way - but definitely not a highly choreographed photoshoot in matching outfits (or indeed showing your child in the most inappropriate photos, ie on the loo/potty). Going into detail about the assessment process - what it’s like to try to get help in the first place, the various hoops you have to jump through, dealing with paediatricians et cetera would be vastly more useful to the general public.

This is mental illness too. I had coffee with a neighbour on Monday - an hour and a half of just general chat - and afterwards I was EXHAUSTED.
The next day I went Christmas shopping (stocking fillers that can’t be done online) and then that evening I’d booked an illumination trail with the children. I really seriously struggled to go that evening. My brain was in bits and disconnected from my body just because I’d done three things in two days - things that many wouldn’t think twice about.

And I’m an adult, who chose (ish) to go and do those things.

As a child, ‘a sensitive soul’ as Ashley herself described Alf this week, I can’t imagine the mental exhaustion and feelings of being (emotionally unsafe in a new, loud, bright environment. Especially when Nana has so much to do with him but Nana and Papa had Ada - Alf likely felt rejected on top of everything else.

Ashley feigns mental illness but there’s never a sign of it unless it’s for content.

Glad you’re feeling better, @Autisteuse

I mean yeah I could go into the garage and pop on some size 8 vintage Topshop from my youth and marvel at how I bulge out of it or can’t get the zips up but I won’t because

a) I know it doesn’t fit, I would have to be in an actual famine for that to happen anytime soon
b) I’ve got a shitload of actual stuff to do today
c) at least some of it has probably been chewed by mice

Get a life Trash, honestly!
 
Give it a bleeping rest love. Normal able bodied woman shoves size 10 body into size 8 clothes and films it for crappy content. You absolute bleeping moron. Spare a thought for the larger lady struggling to find clothes that fit. I’m a size ten and I swear if I did this my friends would be like are you Ok ? Pity she doesn’t have any. Go mind your kids you absolute melt.
 
Are they not allowed to join the house as a whole…..to chat whilst dinners are cooked? To play under the tables etc?

There's no cooking going on in that house, just packages ripped open and zapped in the microwave for every meal 😵‍💫

Also: I remembered this poem by @MidnightRambler today and LOLd... Thread #30 for our AJ was an absolute riot


Newbies please go back and enjoy the odes to Ash's boobs

I do understand, ITDH. We make the effort to be in the world, but the effects of it are so exhausting, and it often takes days for us to repair ourselves. Go gently with yourself, and if you know that the effect is worse than the cure, please rest. X
I agree - if AJ has PND or other forms of depression, why does she not speak of the ways she attempts to alleviate it? Vague references to her psychological state offer nothing.
 
I've had to change my name (but it's Cariad here)and I've had to be cautious about what I post due to some unwanted attention from another 'influencer' who contacted my work and family ....don't care now as I've finally retired and my family don't do social media!
but I have been keeping up to date with Ms James's despicable antics
