Abbey cooks an egg for the first time!

[@allysonauld3416]

Great job Abbey! Not only was the egg perfect but you pushed through your frustrations ❤

[@lucielou7745]

Mum of a 16 year old boy with autism here. This video really made me tear up with pride. I don’t know you Abbey but I’m proud of you!! ❤

[@Aceofspades2006]

As an autistic person most of us prefer autistic person

[@NeedToKnow1947]

🙏🏼💕

[@Shawn-Leider]

Pretty sure she’s on a show about love for autistic people. Sorta famous autist here

[@lucielou7745]

@@Aceofspades2006 YOU prefer autistic person. My son and many others I know prefer “has autism”.

[@freshliving4199]

Proud smother of a helpless 16 year old kid. In this video, can you not see what all the incessant “help” the other smother is giving is doing? It’s stealing a learning opportunity from the child. She has to keep the child helpless for herself to have a life. A smother can raise 100 kids and 99 would be messed up.

We all break yolks when we are learning, but you did such a great job Abbey!

[@kyleydiamond]

"I'm gonna die one day, and who's going to make your eggs?" "No one!" same girl I have been here. we love watching Abbey gain confidence in her skills!

[@dustinsmith9375]

Great job. Little tip. Cracking on a flat surface gets a cleaner break then the edge of the pan.

[@357.maggNUM]

Correct!!!

[@anneonnamouse5496]

Never get a shell in the egg again this waay

[@kathyhackney7950]

Came to say this

[@snuff2023]

Mom of 3 boys, 2 of them are autistic ages 3 and 4 and still nonverbal. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOURSELF WITH THE WORLD. You are an inspiration to many!!!!

[@julesmbc]

Our ASD son, didn't speak until age 9... My heart is with you, sending love ❤ Lots of patience, and something I didn't learn until recently - learn to take time for yourself 🥹

[@aaronbarker2295]

I’d like to see more videos showing her struggles. I have autism myself, and it’s good to see videos where I can see I’m not alone

[@Nanner823]

Beautiful egg. I went to school for cooking and even I can't nail the perfect over easy fried egg each time. My husband eats the broken ones, because I won't 😂

[@marial3231]

I mean this from the very bottom of my heart, you have helped me climb out of a deep depression where all I did was listen to negative news. Having the honor and getting to share some of your special and fun moments has reminded me to STOP TAKING LIFE SO SERIOUSLY and that I’ll never be too old to have fun and be the silly girl I really inside full of hope and happiness. Like I haven’t listened to fear news in 2 days thanks to you. This weight I’ve had has fallen off and tonight I’m gonna text all my friends I’ve been feeling guilty about ignoring ❤ you are so special and beautiful. Even my mom commented today I have a spark in my eyes. Thank you 🎉❤

[@kimm5555]

Its super cool watching Abbey grow into a confident adult and independent woman

[@tfstarrynight]

gosh why did this make me tear up?? i am autistic and struggle with failure. but the past 3 years i have been working as a caregiver for disabled adults/seniors and they help me understand myself so much. this interaction could have been copied and pasted out of my day at work. my client is quick to quit at things because he cant focus or doesnt want to fail, but his empathy is off the charts. if i explain things through my lens, he can understand/regulate how he feels. its amazing. its more than the rest of the world has done for me, and i love that it is reciprocal help. we also have goofy moments. if he forgets his glasses, i take mine off and pretend bump into stuff. or i pretend to be him with his walker to show walker safety. when he fails at a task and says he cant do it/needs help, hes never more proud/present and aware of his achievement than when i tell him to try again. of course its easier to do it for someone. but this video shows exactly how much us autistic people benefit from routine, firm encouragement, and lots of praise. christine and abbey you are amazing!!!

[@Queen_of_Kingz]

I get so proud of Abbey when she overcome obstacles & achieve goals! Mom, I love how you have honest conversations with her in order to prepare her for life!❤

[@PS-Straya_M8]

We all learn from our mistakes Abbey, well done on your success. Hello from all your friends in Australia 😁🙃

[@CoSDMPostel]

Proud of you, Abbey! I ALWAYS break yolks so I end up just making them scrambled! 🤣

[@motorman3956]

You give me hope and now am less lonely.

[@julese.3580]

She has a great soft touch.. teach her how to make “easy” home made bread…then she will always be able to eat! Salad and egg “sammich”…. Perfect!!

[@rhiannonclark2932]

Great job! Tell her she can drop the egg out of the shell closer to the pan, not so high up, for less yolk breaking 😊

[@summergoad4244]

I love you Abbey! I have a 8 year old nephew with Autism your such a INSPIRATION!

[@lovefortruth3414]

Good job Abby! I've been cooking eggs for myself and others for over 40 years, and I still don't get them perfectly all the time, and it's ok. You just get more comfortable with it the more you practice. And knowing you can feed yourself and someone else, is the greatest feel-good reward for having completed the task 😊

[@gypsybelle4757]

This made me smile so big! Well done!❤❤❤

[@johndough2523]

Great Job! That was a perfectly cooked egg. Your mom is a good teacher.

[@k.c.r.5974]

I love Abbey...shes oddly sweet 💜

[@LadyGaia1985]

I cried. Sweet girl, you did a wonderful job! ❤

[@Satanna.avemaria]

Sometimes an imperfect egg is the best egg. I’m learning to Cook and it’s fun. Completely takes my focus off daily life. Keep going abbey 💖🌸

[@piccleartoland1565]

Just be careful with stardom Ms. Abbey. Stick close to your Mother and family so they can make the correct interpretations of people's needs/actions/messages. Keep a constant loop of communication with them as it appears you are - from someone who dealt with a taste of stardom years ago while be on the spectrum. Congrats on all your accomplishments and David!

[@SunnysBibleASMR]

Love when your voice changes to SOUTHERN ACCENT!!!! ABBEY IS THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT DID IT AGAIN!!!! ❤😂 great job girl- I’m a mother of 4 & grandma and been cooking for over 4 decades since I was 8 and I break yikes a lot still - even now!!! So way to go!!! You are amazing!!!! 😂❤😅

[@positivelyradiant9655]

Mom of 2 boys, youngest is autistic… he now loves to cook! I love that for him. He also gets to being adventurous and creative with his cooking. I love this video… yeah for Abby!! Looks really yummy!! ❤

[@subwayunderground6105]

Abbey! I am so proud of you! Definitely listen and learn from your mom! My dad was the cook in our family and he passed away last summer. Now im learning to cook from KZbin. Wish I could have learned from my dad himself but that’s okay! I know he’s watching over me! Love you abbey! 🥰💝

[@allybase9337]

Someone here also with an invisible illness!!!!! (Traumatic Brain Injury from being hit by car) I was there- exactly you are Abbey!! (14 year long journey) Wasn’t really interested in watching the show until I saw you in the trailer and was like omg she different just like me!!! Fast forward: I’m married to my Lion and cub (fur baby) Polly Pocket!) I did it and you can do it too!!! P.S. I also like collecting things from the 90/2k’s like Lion King!!! 🦁👑🌿

[@kaiscote]

Thanks Abbey! As a fellow autistic adult trying to gain independence, you inspire me ❤

[@kdengo]

I still do not know who I love more … Abby or her mom ❤❤❤❤

[@SpoonMe]

I’m going to die someday and then… We’ve all thought it. I’m glad you’re able to say it out loud because families that love their loved ones that we care for fear that fear. It’s our biggest. Not just wanting to know they will be cared for in a loving way but may be able to help care for themselves AND not be hurt or taken advantage of with no advocate. No one can ever love them like we do but it feels like Abbey and David have some very loving family that will be there for both of them. Such a blessing. If only everyone could understand this of all our most vulnerable people in our communities ❤

[@themadhanna]

That was great! Also, Clementine is SO ADORABLE!!! 😍😍😍

[@christinamasson5254]

Great job! 🎉 I’m so proud of you 😊. Maybe the next time that David comes over to visit you can cook him an egg. 🥰😘

[@spidercherry108]

I was taught to crack into a bowl and check it for shells. So glad you are learning to cook! That is great. ❤ i nearly did crack up laughing when you cut the egg all up like that so I couldn't tell if the yoke had broken or not.😂❤

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

Very great for frying an egg for the first time. Being an Autistic person myself, I understand how Abbey felt when she felt like she couldn't get the egg "right" for the first attempt. But, it's very important to practice. No one is perfect the first time around and me struggling with perfectionism, I have to remind myself that I don't need to be perfect. But yeah, frying an egg is a pretty big deal.

[@LeslieJones-rt1me]

You're so brave! ❤ Good work Abbey.

[@dillanwalker4806]

As a long time executive Chef. I must say what a fantastic egg, and perfect technique.

[@AugustThor438]

Hi Abbey, I just finished season 2 and would love to hear you sing more, you have a beautiful voice ❤

[@mountaingarden8823]

Good job Abby! I don’t like broken yolks either, the more you practice the easier it gets. I still break them sometimes though- my husband eats those 😊

[@THEJoeDub22]

Abbey crushing the cooking game! I ALWAYS break the yolks and I cook all the time!😂

[@leenaparsons9876]

Amazing Abbey. Truly. You didn't give up when you felt discouraged.

Beautiful moment - proud of you Abby! I saw the hesitation but you went forward and did it! Mom cheering and supporting you the whole time - you’re an amazing mom, too!

[@feleciakline8793]

Great job! One little hint (if it’s ok) is that the hotter the pan, the more likelihood that it may break. It took me a while to to learn that but now I heat it kind of hot, and then I turn the heat down a little. Then it usually cooks perfectly

[@hannahwhitson7130]

abbey I just happened to find your videos you are an extraordinary young woman and I love them

Well done, Abbey! It can be scary to learn new skills, but you powered through. That breakfast looks amazing!

Great Job Abbey! Hey I just drops the egg into the middle of the pan, the yolk is perfect every time. Give it a try!

your technique is flawless abbey, i’m still getting the hang of it myself 😖

[@sarita5572]

Looks like an awesome egg! 👌

[@RockFoxTLIMS]

Just a tip. Crack eggs on a flat surface for a better chance of not breaking the yolk. You can even simply drop the egg whole into the pan and then remove the shell. Trust me it works. Keep up the great work!

[@darkmavi9531]

love you🍳 you rocked the egg flip

[@theresayoung2708]

Thank you both for making these videos. My daughter and I are very similar, and we have many similar challenges! It's amazing for my daughter to watch Abbey because the two of them seem to like so many of the same things and their mannerisms are so alike! THANK YOU

[@MandieCait]

It took me FOREVER to figure this out. Go Abbey! I sort of devised my own little trick for this. Instead of putting the heat on high at first... I keep it on low -- literally 2 or 3. Then, I crack the eggs into the pan and put a pot lid over it, and turn it on minimum. They slow cook with the yolks solid this way. When they're done I just turn the heat up a bit to make em crispy. Might not work for everyone, but it works for me!

[@butcherofblaviken327]

I think she likes her yolks runny though

[@jordiflower]

The way you speak to Abbey is lovely

[@Blue8embers-2012]

Egg-cellent job Abbey! ❤
