I can't speak from a parents perspective but I can speak from Matthews, kind of. That frustration will never go away but it is manageable, however you are doing the right thing by removing the source of frustration. For me the source of frustration was internal, I couldn't understand how someone could be better than me, and that would often lead to outbursts directed at them. What might help is stepping in as soon as you hear him becoming frustrated and getting him to stop playing so that he can talk though what he is feeling and what is making him feel that way. That way you can explain things to him while also allowing him to reset and calm down. Even now at nearly 40 I will exit games the moment I feel myself becoming frustrated but that took a lot of self learning. Now as for George. I think you are right in thinking that giving in will only exacerbate the problem and with modern advertising and the perpetual hunt for profits it will never be easy but perhaps a solution could be to choose a specific time frame between new toy purchases and then do your best to stick to that plan, but of course forgive indiscretions. Might it be possible to remove some older, less used, toys to somewhere he won't easily find them so that they can be given back at a later date? I know it isn't always possible since we all fixate on different things and I don't know what his fixations are specifically.

I have never liked trick questions but they are some of the best questions to ask when trying to gauge understanding. I can understand by Matthew's explanation that he confused the steps of multiplying fractions with adding fractions.

Tis a little late, but what the young fella was trying to explain with gifting is this - You can use your V-Bucks to buy a gift from the item store for someone but once you have bought an item you can't trade that item to someone else.

Your shopping village sounds like what we call an outlet store here in the states. We live around 40 minutes from a huge outlet center in San Marcos. Kinda like a large outdoor mall with like 100 stores! Looks like Amy had a great haul! George can really fly on that spinning chair 😊

Well done Amy!!❤ Yeah once a year or just try do more if you can because it hard work . Nice video Adam well done what a wonderful hubby and dad

Matthew I really like the movie too I hope you are doing great I wish I could share with you my story. I feel like you are where I was sibling with much worse autism. Easy to miss but need a lot of recovery time

Loved this 😊 I love watching old classics with my two young boys also!

I bet u are so proud of your children

Children with autism can be calm in school and let out there stress at home

Matthew reminds me of myself. So proud of how well you are doing in school Matthew. I see Matthews need to decompress when he's home for me it's the delayed processing that frustrates me because I feel like I am not getting the response I expect.

Yes normally May for school offers. Doesn't give a lot of time for finding new schools! Thanks for the update 😊

Hi, This is a wonderful video of your boys! It's always hard when we have difficulty's with one loved one or two to get through. And to know this is going to be not only the rest of our lives doing it but also the person that has the disorder. Prayer and inner strength is all we can ask for at these times. You have such a wonderful family still. Hold onto each other tight. And keep those little moments close to you! New Subscriber Thumbs Up

Very nice

I'm so sorry I've not been here, I'm on nursing orientation and it's HEAVY 🙃 you are both incredible parents and it shows how much you love your boys 💙💙

Do not find lost toys. Redirect their energy into finding their own stuff.

Right wait, I want to hear how Matthew made a lava lamp. Please ask him to explain 🤓

Moth rests with wings flat. Butterfly rests with wings together

Am sorry about if we can do at if we can be friends with u at well be good too do at if we can be friends with u at well be good too do at am sorry about ar

It’s been a while since I’ve seen your vids and your boys have grown up so much. My son is now getting his license and is almost 17. Funny when he was your boys age I didn’t think this would have ever happen. He is studying auto mechanics and has passed his cert 2 so well I’m so proud of him. It’s taken so much therapy, blood, sweat and tears but I’m saying this to give you hope that things can change and things do get better. It’s so very tough when they are young. You guys are in the thick of it that’s for sure.

Its so hard. Well done you are great parents. It wears you down. Sending love to you.

Also; whenever we get more toys ie Christmas, we have got into the routine of out with old in with new. If my kids haven’t played with something for more than a year, I tell them (don’t ask them) that we’re giving it away or selling it to be able to afford new things. I’ve found that with slightly autistic girls, the less choices the easier on them. Signposting too. Tell them a few days in advance that your going to have a tidy up and they will be easier about the changes

I have twin 10 year old girls. It’s been a battle with the whole loosing stuff and I have usually been the one to find whatever’s missing. However, more recently (don’t know how old your boys are) they moan about loosing something and come and ask me to help look but these days I’ve found these two things help 1) if there is time and no one is rushing out the door I don’t even tell them to try and find it. I basically say right step away from what you’re doing. There is no point trying to find it because most likely they have put it somewhere and forgotten If the child keeps getting upset at the lost thing throughout the day then firstly I make them retrace what they were doing. At some point someone will remember something and then hey presto, they find it themselves (if it’s that important) 2) if it’s rushed then I make sure the kids stop what their doing and promise to help find it later. By the time we’re home, they’ve forgotten BUT if they are adamant I follow through with promise and help Also, with autism, put things in clearly labelled boxes etc and ensure the kids help you go through their toys and organise them. This reduces the likelihood of loss and helps them to regain control-that’s what they like, in my experience Hope this helps

It's been a very long time since I commented and watched videos. Because our internet with account has many problems and I think now it's better on the way.

Good morning 🌞 I'm super maker jens 🇩🇪

Buying them more toys is doing them a huge disservice. I'm 100% sure if you minimalised the toys and only bought new ones on special occasions, things would greatly improve for everyone. Parenting is the hardest thing we'll ever do. More toys or possessions is never the answer.

Delayed processing causes me to feel like I am clicking but constantly loosing it's not by a lot but the slightest delay can really make video games hard. You didn't get as frustrated and struggling with emotional regulation ie. Meltdowns which is what is happening. The worst situation I am not going into the details online because it's worse than I am describing but I was refusing to go to bed until I won and fighting going to sleep. My brother had sleeping issues my mom tried to tell me not to wake him up so I started screaming to wake him up because of jealousy in the attention he was getting mixed with video game meltdown. I have thought about getting video games but realize that I have too many meltdowns over it and just can't have it available all the time. I can go and play a friend but alone it's a recipe for meltdowns. Matthew I can totally relate brother with much more severe autism and the meltdowns with games.

Will George ever be able to get his driver's license someday?? I have asd level 1 & don't have mine

Change can be really hard can’t it some times

Funny story for you. Me as an autistic adult a few years back I use to something similar with the spinning but on a work chair at home. One day spun so fast I lost balance went to the floor. I didn't get hurt rather I was laughing I thought it was fun. When it comes to transitions I experience something similar but not exact. For example I struggle till this day with change. I hate it strongly when there is a change that happens. But I also found out that if you tell me about the change in advance and you allow me time to process usually I'm more inclined to accept change and go alone with it. It's also issues with adaptation. If I'm used to something and you were to tell me to do it differently well the new way is something I've never done before, I don't understand, and so I'm scared of it. And that fear is usually always one of a few reasons why I have hesitation and strong aversion to changes. I know it's not the exact same as transitions but it's someone what similar so i just wanted to mention it! Great video! Good information!

What is that spinning chair? How cool! It also trains the brain in my opinion

George would be amazing at Gymnastics!

Very nice bedroom toyr Mr.Adam! 😅
