Damn Rishi packed on the pounds

I'd be emotional eating too if I had to deal with Jen's nonsense. 

[Gobi]

Dance, Rishi, dance!

Genuine question. Is it better to assume people are not until they tell you otherwise ?

I’d say it’s best to assume someone is not developmentally disabled unless they (or their verbal advocate/s) identify them that way.  

I think an issue is that most assumptions (and message board statements like “I think Castmember X is autistic”) are based in the most well known and *most negative* stereotypes, which in turn keeps the most negative aspects of the disorders the most well known.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Rishi should just tell them to believe whatever they want to believe about him and call it a day.

[Hotel Snarker]

So much fakeness in one room. Acting like they all like each other and get along.

No question. It’s just as bad as saying “all autistic people flap their hands in a weird way”.

[goofygirl]

I CANNOT with this whole conversation!!! Those friends are just awful. So is Jen.

[sainte-chapelle]

It’s doesn’t matter Jen. He never met any of them.

[greekmom]

This conversation is soooooooo boring

[Auntie Anxiety]

For a minute there, I thought Rishi was wearing a girdle.

I guess they want to stay in the Nile.

It’s like an echo chamber full of hairspray and Michael Kors bags.  
But the restaurant is really pretty.

Not everyone has a diagnosis. Treating people as thought they have a diagnosis is a separate issue from noticing struggle or behavior patterns. I maintain that TLC exploits people with differences. 

[goofygirl]

You SHOULD question your judgement, Jen.  Girl. You are a MORON.

It’s “shapewear” 

[Shelbie]

Jen if you’re questioning everything go home.

My nephew is mildly autistic. He struggles with certain things but doesn’t meet the stereotype or most well know behaviours associated with Autism. It can be very different from case to case.

Debbie thought she was coming here to be cared for.

Goals.

[goofygirl]

We may not get the donkey tonight, peeps.  Looks like Debbie & Oussama are having a conversation sort of in the AREA where the donkey may be... AND Deb's wearing that blue hat... in the preview for next week.  AARRGGGHH!!!

I have a pair of prescription glasses with Coach frames, funny thing is of the frames I liked they were the cheapest.

I was surprised she broke that coconut so easily, but then again she is good at breaking nuts.

Johan does like those nuts... 

[magemaud]

So this damn donkey ride is going to be the Grand Finale?

Maybe the donkey is the ride Debbie is taking to the  airport to come back to America.

Are you talking about Johan or an actual donkey type donkey.

Exactly the reason why some people have those exact stereotypes when it comes to autism.

I didn't miss that, either? What the? They've been teasing us with this dang ride (and fall) forever!

[Suzywriter]

I hate this mustache girl commercial so much...and I hope that she ordered more than one absurd outfit. There's 180 school days in most states.

My anecdote: Because the weather was so warm earlier this week, I slept with the windows open. At around 5:30am, my dog starts barking like someone was breaking into the house. Turns out she heard the wild turkeys gobbling as they walked through the backyard. Fucking turkeys are around all the time.

Now you confused the issue even more. 😆

[greekmom]

Since the last 5 mins are these yahoos, I am saying goodnight.

Snark with you guys next week!

[Auntie Anxiety]

Daniele/Sharp spent a few pennies on this soirée, only to have Daniele flounce out.

Nobody ever believes that I'm on the spectrum. "But you're not like that..."

It was in the form of a camel!

[Eldemarge]

Oh my god, can you not make it about YOU for a SECOND, Danielle.

[magemaud]

Who’s paying for this fiesta? 

[Gobi]

No, no, no! You're supposed to flounce out of the Tell All!

[Hotel Snarker]

Okay, she’s throwing a fit over not being thanked for her last minute planning? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…I want to smack Danielle

[sainte-chapelle]

Holy shit Dani kinda waddles now. Why is she mad?
