[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Does anyone in her inner circle advocate for Remy? [/quote]

People who know Remy in real life have tried, including her teachers. We can all see that she's on the spectrum and Jen refuses to get her diagnosed or get the right treatment for her. She could be doing much better if Jen would actually get her help instead of sending her away. That is Jen's solution to it all. She sent her to a summer-long camp and then sent her to Spain. Remy is a handful that is true but that is because she's never been in a program or had a therapist experienced with autism that would help her with her anxiety and social skills so she just keeps acting the same way with no guidance and Jen just making light of it. The feeling is that Jen is just biding her time before Remy leaves home. People I know who have tried to talk to her about this say it's impossible because she is evasive and just tries to be funny and cute and waves it away as Remy being quirky. Like how she describes the son as just being spirited when he gets a DUI.

Oh and she got Remy a therapist and then started seeing the same therapist for her own therapy and then started a Me Course with her. So even Remy's therapist got stolen by Jen.[/quote]

I’m surprised more people are focusing on the weight comments than on this.

To the poster I’ve quoted here, I completely believe you. When Rémy was younger, Jen made at least two posts about her potentially being on the spectrum and asking parents of autistic kids for resources. Since then, Jen has posted countless times about spectrum-like behavior (e.g., regular tantrums). Yet not once have we seen Jen post about actually providing Remy with specialized resources.

Jen’s “therapist” Clarissa or whatever is a terribly unethical “professional”. Going into business with a patient is a big NO. And unless Jen and Rémy we’re doing family therapy together, Clarissa should NOT have seen each of them for individual sessions. She cannot be impartial and this should only happen in communities where there are no other options for therapy. There are plenty of general therapists in Austin.

Remy should have her own therapist and she needs someone specialized in autism. Unfortunately though, if you’re not a young White boy, there are very few autism professionals who understand your symptoms. Still, there are better options than Clarissa.

Does Jen think Remy will just be able to move out when she’s 18? She can’t be that naive or cruel. Spain clearly demonstrated that Remy is NOT ready to be fully independent. I’m not sure what dad is doing… is he also that ignorant to Remy’s needs???

I would pray that Sydney takes Remy in but it seems like Sydney has been parentified for a long time already. [/quote]
