It is so sad. But I don't like that Cow has the cameras there with Nicholas. I think that is too much. Too much if he gets overwhelmed by visual and auditory stimuli. And what about his right to privacy? I know parents control their children's rights, but it just strikes me as exploitive.
I agree because I think that any kid that appears on these shows is being exploited. If only Cow could bring awareness without actually having Nicolas on camera so much.

One other thing I want to share: I was watching my nef when he was about 4. He kept going to our staircase, to the 2nd step and jumping. I let him do it a few times and then made him stop. He cried and cried. Anytime I took my eyes off him he kept going to the stairs. He cried all day and by the time my brother came to get him I was exhausted and, shame on me, angry.

My brother explained that his feet hitting the ground after jumping was his way of self-soothing. When I think about how much he cried that day, and how I might have been a tad bit mean to him, it breaks my heart. I didn't know. That's why I think awareness is so important. Because people don't know. If Jac could keep Nick off the screen but make strides toward real awareness, she'd earn points from me.

12 years ago my nephew was diagnosed with Aspergers and an alphabet list of other issues. The first time I saw my brother 'brushing' him, I thought, "WTF?" Once, my husband went up behind him to give him a bear hug and my nef flipped out. It was bad. They had to leave. We were at a family picnic and everybody was whispering about what a baby he was. :( So sad in retrospect. Because no one knew. But the whole family 'gets it' now. Some of the therapies seem odd and the spectrum is so vast. And with autism practically an epidemic (and I know that's up for debate) I see the harm and the good of what Cow is doing so publicly.

Off to watch the epi.


Geez Rye, we could have the same nephew, only no one would acknowledge he was on the spectrum until this year (he is turning 22).

It is so sad. But I don't like that Cow has the cameras there with Nicholas. I think that is too much. Too much if he gets overwhelmed by visual and auditory stimuli. And what about his right to privacy? I know parents control their children's rights, but it just strikes me as exploitive.
Jax acting as if she has such an important life that she has no time for foolishness with the Teresa/Melissa feud bugs the hell out of me. And CHris saying that she's up all night "researching" therapies and such when in reality she's twittering nonsence about beauty products and bullshit.

I also call bullshit on Chris being so involved in Nicholas's treatment. WHy was he asking Jackie for an update on how he was doing? He seems totally like the type to leave it all to Jackie to handle.

Clownie and family sitting around the kitchen with the dogs and Caroline's sister made me laugh.The German Shepherds are the Manzo's dogs, and if her sister needs a place to live due to a divorce, she should have the courtesy to stop fostering pets while in their home. Fat Al looks totally miserable. So does Lauren and of course Caroline always does. Why didn't Fat Al tell her to keep her busy body nose out of Tre's business?

Calling Velvet - our resident realtor- great idea to have the kids running around like lunatics during a showing of the house? Banging on the piano? What about the bathroom. The house has been on the market for 6 fucking months and they couldn't fix up that shit?

ISH I totally agree. When Chris said that Jax was up all night, allz I could think about was Beauty and Autism.

I wonder how Fidget and Missy reacted when they saw the episode and saw the handle and sink break in that bathroom. I thought the realtor should have handed the broken handle to Fidget with a "I think this is yours."

it's a good point that at least at a school, Nicholas is getting real help -- whatever the storyline dictates that Cow be credited with.

Why is Lauren so bitter? And put upon? What has she done in her life to behave the way she does? She was handed Catface and a lap band. No hard work for her other than making her brothers' beds.

Cannot believe that Cow has a deli slicer for her cold cuts. "Nothing fancy" for poker didn't look fancy at all. No one would need a lap band/lipo on this show if they would just cut down on the mortadella.

I forgot to snark more on that house! Why do these fools have a beautiful piano abbrev they are not musically inclined and probably couldn't t tell the difference bw a piano and a violin? Also, those keyhole windows are hideous! 3.8 million with no pool and the requirement that the new owners spend money to fix things? And then they wonder why no one is buying? Idiots.

WTF is it with the "BUH" instead of But? Kathy and Tre do it all the time. They need that guy Jeff from LI Princesses with his over enunciation of "Knifffffe, cut it with a Kniffffffe."

Omg. I watched that show for the first time last night and laughed my ass off. Jeff is the probably gay bf, right? He reminds me of Roger, the alien on American Dad. Can't believe that one girl was still hating on that other chick who stole her bf when they were 15.i mean she had her prom dress and everything!

Sorry for the board on boards! ;)

I hate Don Caro the bulldog with the best of them but I like the longer hair, and the color choices of outfit/hair/makeup. Her face is getting jowly, and I feel mean pointing that out -- there's nothing she can do on her own to alter that.

Jac's face is even bigger this season. And I've got less respect for Parenting magazine than I thought possible. I don't get how anyone in the business of words or advice could hear Cow and think....there's an interview/columnist opportunity.

Kathy, Rosie and Richie are so fucking low-rent. The styling choices alone are fucked.

Nicholas is a very cute boy. I'm always very interested in the posts that deal with the spectrum issues, like ranjake, Fin, Icy - I am really ignorant about ASD. I hope that he just has an amazing future and present, and that Cow grows up a lot and soon.

Oh the house scene was so funny. DH cracked up at those stupid keyhole windows and he's legally blind. We all must know that that particular RE person coming over was a total bravo plant. She got publicity. She's friends with TRE. It was a perfect storm especially when the poltergeist came and broke their fake marble sink and cheap fixtures. Boo

Who the fuck is that bitch/asshole (tm Clownie) Lauren to talk smack about Tre's kids. That little Milania is over the moon about Milania and the letter she sent. She may be hell on wheels at home, but she loves her cousin.

My daughter is watching it right now. Cow is talking about who is coming over for poker night, and at the end of the list of names, her voice gets all sing-songy and giggly and she says, "And ROSIE is coming!" like she is some pet.

Ah the realtor scene. Little Gino or Joey whichever one is older is giving Milania a run for her money in the beating up the younger sibling thing.

Did the Gorga's ever sell that house of horrors? JoeGo was convinced he'd get his 3.5 mil.

Can you imagine a field day an inspector would have with that house?
