PART 2: • Baby Teeth's ending is...
Contrary to popular belief (unless you're an active viewer), I actually have not posted a rant video in a long while, so I've decided to bring them back since y'all are entertained by them. However upon filming and editing I remember why I don't do it often, which is that it takes freaking forever when you accidentally stumble upon a bizarre book with a chaotic series of events that you can't even summarize within an hour. In this first hour we shall discuss French furry freak children, useless Swedes, unflattering haircuts, and lots of very disturbing scenes I can't believe I read outloud lol.

overlooked detail is the fact that it frames being nonverbal (a trait often found in autistic kids) as something that children just choose to be for the sake of being difficult for their parents. i'm an autistic person who experiences occasional speech loss, meaning certain situations will prevent me from verbal communication. nonverbal autistics, meanwhile, are not capable of verbal communication, ever. this is something that's not even fully understood in the autistic community, hence the amount of people who describe speech loss as "going nonverbal" because they assume it's a thing that comes and goes and not a constant trait. honestly, i could make a lot of points about how hanna reads as a demonized stereotype of autistic kids, but instead i'll say it would've been much more interesting if the book was explicitly about a horrible ableist mother losing her mind over normal autistic behavior instead of all that just being subtext.

[@marisaher1642]

Willful withholding of speech is real though. If a child knows their parent(s) want them to speak, sometimes they just won’t. ButI agree with your point 100%. Framing this child as autistic/special needs when they are just malicious is horrible representation.

[@doodledogdiary3644]

Honestly this book feels like it was ghostwritten by my mom?? From the "my kid took away my freedom" to the "my kid fucks things up on purpose to test my patience" to the "my autistic kid doesn't communicate on purpose to spite me" and the "feeding and clothing my child but never showing any affection, wondering what went wrong when they start to resent me, then ultimately concluding that it's totally their fault and blaming them for everything" it's disturbingly too close for comfort and I am certain that if I ever met the author in real life I'd probably feel compelled to beat her up

[@Wired_User]

The whole nonverbal thing was super fked. Like, a LOT of people have mutism or selective mutism and it’s NOT a choice to be an ass. There’s being silent to fk with people in the middle of an argument, and then there’s literally having a mental disorder that makes it hard and/or terrifying to verbally communicate.

yep, im selectively mute, always got in trouble for being stubborn or shutting down. it wasn't too bad since i could/can force some speech if im scared (and it's for this reason that im still scared of adults at age 18), but regardless if id known i was autistic growing up, i doubt id have hated myself less, because id still have been regarded as "difficult" just for being anxious.

Ikr?

Rather than it being their nervous system overloading from the constant stress of being pathologized, blamed and punitively corrected for normal ND behavior. Things like, "Well, you can write so you must be able to talk but are refusing just to drive me crazy," is such a "me, me, me, everything is about me" way of interpreting a ND child's actions. And everything Hannah does is presented that way, with her internal monologue "proving" this awful, narcissistic way of looking at autistic children's struggles correct. It makes me wish I had a copy of this book so I could huck it at the wall.

They’re doing all this over a Swedish man

[@pinkyapple333]

The part where the kindergarten teachers tell the dad what Hannah's been doing and doesn't believe them??? omg it's so accurate.

I have not read the book and do not know the author, so I don't want to imply anything about them, but I can't help but notice how similar a lot of the writing sounds to Those Kind of Parents with neurodiverse children. Like, the selective mutism, the growling/barking, the humming/singsonging during studying, even the difference in behavior in other environments and biting other kids (overloads anyone?), all can be signs of being neurodiverse and specifically autistic. I doubt it's intentional but it very much reads like a mommy blogger talking about how her child is only showing symptoms to make her life hell (and the father ignoring all of it also matches that).

[@xRaiofSunshine]

I hated when they toured the art school and the mom judged all of the artwork in the school which was made by literal children... When she re iterates through the whole book that her own kid doesn't/won't draw a single thing ever. The consistent elitism and ableism of the parents was so strange and went pretty much unaddressed and wasn't really thematically relevant by the end. They gave off this vibe of "my child may have behavioral issues but at least she's not learning disabled (or, as the father himself said, r*tarded)." While the parents have a lot of regrets it doesn't feel like they ever have to actually reconcile with the way their perfectionism, egos, and elitism have prevented them from properly raising or handling their daughter. It's ambiguous but they kind of get a happy ending anyway where they get to "go back to the way they were before Hanna" so it doesn't feel like they learned anything or had to confront anything about their mindsets at all. Mostly the mom just gets to be vindicated. Also if Hanna genuinely does suffer from psychopathy/delusions/etc. then I really question the choice to villainize her within the story and also make comparisons to the kid from "The Omen" in the marketing. It's so stigmatizing and parts of the book even acknowledge that psychopathy is a genuine mental illness but they don't treat it with the same respect that Suzette's PTSD is treated with at all. Nowhere even close. For all the scary things Hanna did, I ended up feeling bad for her, because when it comes down to it, she is a mentally ill child and there's nothing evil about that... It's complicated and sad and difficult to handle but it is not evil. Just wished that either the author had gone with an actual possession storyline or treated Hanna's condition with more respect. I say all this but mostly I was just kind of bored by the book lol

all throughout this video, i was thinking "no kid acts like this unless there's Some kind of traumatic event in their life." which, when we got to the baby's villain origin story, i felt weirdly vindicated. like. a three-year-old isn't going to have the capacity to understand or process something like what the mother in the book does. it's entirely possible that that by itself *would* be enough to traumatize her! so basically book demonizing a likely-traumatized child, while also being really weird and s3xual and creepy about it? Fucking Yikes? it really reads, to me, the author saying "well, this child's doing THIS, do u still think she's innocent? doesn't she deserve to be treated like shit??" which like. if you have to write an Entire Novel demonizing traumatized children, maybe consider that you're the one with the problem here.

Maybe we're putting too much pressure on you in the moment or you were confused about the question, or struggling to process it. You write mean things on a paper? Maybe something happened I'm not aware of that upset you and you're expressing your frustration towards me because I'm a safe target. Regardless, I'm so proud of you for knowing all those words! And for figuring out I'm a fallible human at only 7. I was at least 11 before I realized my mom was an idiot! Do you want to draw a picture to get your feelings out? Etc.

And I think that the mother would need therapy just as much as her kid. Also the dad is extremely stupid but I'd argue that the mum is stupid too. She only relies on a man that consistently shows that he won't help her or back her up - no friends, no other help (until the middle of the book). I am convinced the kid is smart enough to learn French and Google stuff (she probably found sex on Google too) to overcompensate for the single braincell that the parents share, lol.

Rorey's gone a long way with his expressions now and hes even graduated speech therapy :D Honestly I love it- when in books or real life- an adult meets a nuerodivergent kid's energy and treats them like how you would any kid :> Just makes me hate the mom in the story more tho lol

Why do “evil child” stories all have so much underlying vilification of autism, plus other forms of ableism? Just one example, the child doesn’t speak despite obvious lack of physical explanations, and communicates via other means, and the instead of selective mutism the novel jumps to “this is out of spite for sure, cause she CAN speak but just Chooses not to.” Like, idk. In a world where autistic children have been literally accused of being possessed and then are forced through traumatizing exorcisms and medical torture to “fix it” just seems sus to give vilified autistic traits to the trope of the “evil child.”
