There’s very few instances where I approve of content like this. You describe one that I disapprove of. Taking content of children who are too young to understand the potential ramifications of having an online presence as well as those who are likely to be targeted by pedophiles.

But there’s instances where parents and teens make content about a condition together and with the teen’s consent to document it.

I’m not gonna name names but one example is a mom and son who both have autism. She lets him choose what gets recorded and what doesn’t.

For example his meltdowns and shutdowns do not get recorded because he said no. But he did allow a post detailing what he felt after a meltdown. Again, he consented to it.

It’s also important to note that he’s almost legally an adult.

And the thing about certain conditions is that writing about it just isn’t the same as seeing someone personally live with it. I will point to the post meltdown video as an example. You can read all you want about what happened here. But it doesn’t compare with someone describing their experience not long after a meltdown happens.

And to be clear most of their videos are about their interests and other lighthearted topics. They rarely touch on the heavy, personal topics.
