I just don't know what to think. There is definitely some form of enabling going on and she appears to have not learned or been able to make the right decision on things in life.

snippets for the lazy:
Young mom, everyone in the family has some kind of disability. She seems to know more than medical professionals, everyone is on some kind of med. She seems disappointed that two kids don't have autism because it reduces her monthly check (I'm speculating and judging about this)
She appears to have trouble setting limits for the kids and doesn't seem disappointed with failure.
Plus the classic $300 per month cell phone bill.

Using outliers shouldnt be a way to paint a picture of what the norm is. There's plenty of people who need public assistance. I'm all for food stamps, they help people out that need it.
