Arguing With My Autistic Teenager

[@katestockford4243]

I really appreciate you showing being stern with Abbie! I appreciate seeing the hard parts because it’s real!

[@rissadawn2047]

kate stockford yes! Some people would be too afraid of what others might thing ,but that's not real. Real life isn't picture perfect and easy all the time no matter what your situation

[@wingsintheamazon5144]

Yes I really appreciate seeing that side too and seeing her respond to it and understand.

[@ArtisticDazzler]

Agreed! I think it’s most respectful of Abbie to treat her the same as they would Isaiah, were he to do the same. 😊

Abbie cracks me up. Busting out the snacks on her communication device and then at the end of the video she's lookin at Asa like, "bro where's my food?' after she inhaled it😂😂

I've been going to Aba therapy with my son for a little over a month and a half now and I just want to say thank ASA and Priscilla if I didn't come across your KZbin videos Almost a year-and-a-half ago now I would have never been open-minded to letting my son go watching you help your daughter put away her backpack makes me think of all the things I'm learning you're doing a great job Mom and Dad! I never knew what patients was until I had an autistic son watching you with your daughter shows that exact same thing!!

[@betty-jo5922]

I loved that you showed yourself being firm with Ab. Not that it’s something you want to do, but she’s a teenager and needs boundaries just like anybody else her age, autistic or not.

I just wanted to thank you for making these videos my cousin has autism and he is over 30 when I was younger and I never understood why I kind of would judge people not in like a rude way but you know how kids can be when they see someone who isn’t what the world calls “normal” and I feel bad but now after watching just a few of your videos it’s like I understand I get it now so tysm❤️❤️❤️

[@bobbiek2960]

[@debbiekelley6622]

Priscilla if I lived closer, I would had gone to the game with you. I don't like going places by myself especially a big game. I understand how you felt and were very proud that you went alone. And then you have such a great attitude about the purse incident. You are an inspiration to me. Asa, my heart melted at the end when Abbie kept pushing her bowl up to you and signing to eat. What a sweet little face. As a grandmother, I would had given her my bowl and ate a snack, but that's what grandparents do. Love you guys! Thanks for being consistent with the vlogs. I look forward to them every day. Have a GREAT week!!!

[@rileyadams4589]

It may feel weird the first time, but seiously, going to concerts, sporting events, rallies, whatever it is...shows a true fan and dedication! Have you ever looked at someone weirdly bc they are alone? I'm guessing not...what you see is someone "livng their best life!" So give yourself an A+ for pushing thru the minor anxiety and doing what you love. *And Yes it's always awesome to share the excitement of an event with your loved one 😉*

The way she pushed her bowl over to say “I want some more fooooood” is a whole mood & that’s totally me 🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂

There is times in my life were I need to just sit and smile and so your videos are my first click. Thank you guys for your videos.

Abby is super adorable even when she’s misbehaving.

[@rootingforyou6399]

Oh my, I kept thinking about how I have to head to the bathroom straight from the car even if it means dropping everything in the entry way. I will then take care of what I dropped and go back to the car to get the additional things as necessary, but the bathroom comes first. I would rather sit at the table and wait for my snack than go sit on the couch where I can’t see you. I wondered why she wasn’t getting her own snack as you have shown before. Maybe she did but we didn’t see it. I understood you needed a minute. Abbie has come a long way in her understanding what is being said to her and how to communicate. Pushing the bowl over to you and communicating she would like more to eat is so cute! I am so excited for her and your family as she learns and has new experiences. I can hardly contain myself when she is doing so well. I loved the silverware vlog. I wanted to put the silverware on a towel on the counter so she could put them away like in the old house. It reminded me of how we have to conform to society instead of society conforming to our needs. LOL
