Why should everyone tolerate Max's constant rudeness? #movie #film #drama #tvshow #fyp #edit

There isn't really a rest of the story. Life goes on. She goes to cornell. She makes up with her family obviously and it's easier once there's distance for everyone to cool down because that's how families are.

Kind of hard not to. Times like this they could have done better but the point of the show is that they weren't perfect and were learning. Haddie could take care of herself, it's not fair but it's true. They couldn't just drop max off in the wilderness to make more time and space for her. If a boat overturns and both your kids fall in the water, who do you save first? The one who can swim or the one who can't? I'm a forgotten child to my high needs little sister, I have never and will never be as close to my mom as my siblings are because of it. But is that such a terrible outcome? I experienced emotional pain and distance from my family, but if I had been chosen over my sister, she would be dead. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

Lol?

I actual think is was pretty good

They’re good actors, but I think by this point they were tired of playing out the same storyline for the umpteenth time. Max is a prick, parents are the worst, other kids suffer; repeat for six seasons.

​@LolaLovegood-f3xI was referencing his PROBLEM, not his diagnosis. He doesn't act out and make everyone's life a living hell bc he has Asperger's, he does that bc he has never been disciplined properly.

I know this bc I have Asperger's, and I have a son who is borderline non verbal autistic. And just like when I was a kid, he got punished when he made a mistake and then he stopped making them. No matter the diagnosis, it's still a human being capable of learning and understanding, not a fvcking animal that you have to let run wild. Some parents just don't love their kids enough to realize that.

​@LolaLovegood-f3xNo, parents who don't discipline their (not there) kids do NOT love (not live) them as much as they love themselves, bc they care more about what other people think about them than the kids. I don't need to watch the whole thing to know, bc this is HOLLYWOOD not reality. In reality we've had kids with Asperger's for 1000 years, but we've only had rotten little shitheads who ruin everyone's life for about the last 20. It's an ideology, not a biology.

😂same

​@Matt-the-Wise as an autistic adult, I have to agree. I've met other autistic people growing up (especially boys) who were not taught to care about others or that sometimes it's not about them. They were some of the meanest people I've met in the community. The boys and men I met later on who were raised right were nice people who I got along with fine. Unfortunately some people really don't care enough to do the research to understand and raise their neurodivergent or disabled kids properly. I'm glad you aren't one of them. :)

@LolaLovegood-f3x You need to realize that just because somebody has a disability is not an excuse for acting like how Max did. Just because he's autistic does not mean he isn't capable of learning what proper behaviour is supposed to look like. Everybody, disabled or not, has the capability to learn about proper behaviour. And this is coming from another autistic adult.
