Autism OCD or He never Learned to Deal with "NO"?

Is it Nick's OCD that causes him to obsess over ponytail hair or is it because we give in too much to him and he just doesn't know how to deal with being told," No"? 5:15. Shannon and I were all alone with Nick this past Sunday and we made the best of it. First, we went to the beach. Then we came home and made pepperoni pizza together in our wood-fired brick pizza oven #autism #ocd #autismawareness #autismbehavior #nickytv

Lol 😂 poor Shannon and John “what do you want me to do yell at it?” I’m cracking up! 😂 And then sweet Shannon “I hope a seagull eats it!” 😂 Your family is so much fun to watch. Just a genuine, fun loving family ❤️

[@CathySMelton]

"WE HAVE A WINNER!" Another great t shirt saying! It's such a perfect day. I love when Nicky talks and is able to tell you what he wants. Watch for a package! Hope your week goes well. I definitely think you are on the right track with helping Nick understand better social norms. I know it will take time, but with his growth, he will get it. Yum. Pepperoni 🍕! Shannon, you are an inspiration. Your honesty and easy going nature is precious. I'm sure you have strong ideas, but you are willing to change as necessary. Except no chickens! Flamingos!

[@shannonsavoca975]

Happy Flamingos all day 😆

[@ItsADarbyThing]

The crab debacle made me laugh out loud!! 🤣🤣 "what you want me to do, shout at it?? Let go! Right now!" 🤣🤣🤣 Nicky's sentence forming is just coming on and on, you rock buddy 💙 As for the pizza - if I ever get to come to New York (I'm in southern England!!) I will looking you up!! 🍕😋 Awesome vlog again John, hope Johnny is good as we didn't see him today, Shannon I'm still in awe of your hair!!!! ❤ One thing I did notice, there never seems to be anyone else on that bit of beach you go to? Do you check before you suggest it to Nicky? And how is the water always 'in' 🤔 Here in the UK when the tide goes out, it goes out miles and you literally can't get to the water at low tide in some places ..... 🤔🤔 Love you guys xx

[@wendystephan35]

Nice video. Very pleasing. Shannon, you looked very relaxed and happy on your day off! Just a really nice family. And the pizza looked delicious!!!

When I first came to the US from Russia my mom and grandma told me that when I was little when I saw strangers I would give them hugs. Now that I’m 20 and been adopted for 16 years I learned as I got older not to hug strangers or random people who I didn’t know. I’m still a hugger. I love give hugs to my friends and family.

[@NickyTVFamilyVlog]

Hi Katie, it's a great quality. There is nothing more comforting and sincere than a good hug. I'm a hugger too. Have a wonderful Tuesday my friend.

[@jennihamilton3084]

Best! Vlog! EVER!!!!!! We got the beach! We got HOMEMADE PIZZA! We've got the smiles! We've got the GREAT conversation! We've got me drooling for the pizza! We've got the totally perfect background music! We've got the huggins and the kisses and the lovins! The only thing that would have made this vlog better was a bit more of Johnny in it :) All we saw of him was at the very end where we saw him walking up the stairs through the window :P Both otherwise, that was a GREAT VLOG!!!!!! Shannon you did GREAT with the camera :) john.....holy guacamole I loved watching you spin that dough. You're an ARTIST!!!!! Seriously man. I LOVE THIS FAMILY!!!!!! And I love this wonderful group of people that you have following you and making such awesome suggestions :) Those were all GREAT ideas :) Okay. I'm done fan-girling over here.

John and Shannon met when John was working in a pizza place, that's where he learnt his skills x

[@noelle-christinestewart5382]

I'll go ahead and leave my pizza order here for future reference: Gluten free crust, lots of sauce, cheese, onion, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, and then smothered in garlic. Great vlog today. Sundays are the best. Hope Shannon's finger feels better. Who knew something so little can pinch that hard! Ouch!

Looks like a nice time at the beach . How has the weather been in your area. Here in NH it been a little cool and taste of fall weather.

[@NickyTVFamilyVlog]

Hi Riley, it's warm this morning but I can feel the weather beginning to change.

[@Susanluc59]

That pizza tho!!!! I could smell that from here!!! And when you put the garlic oil on it I was no good. I don't understand why people are not lined up in your yard. So glad today was a better day. Not many more bright sunny summer days left so make the best of them when they come. Sorry about Shannon's crab incident, but in all honesty, I couldn't help but laugh when you yelled at it. Have you watched any of the Fathering Autism videos where they teach Abbie how to tolerate things like a face mask or a blood pressure monitor by having her wear them while they count down from 10 to 0? I wonder if that would work for Nicky to get him used to seeing the things that bother him so badly? I hate to see him stress so hard over those triggers, and I know it isn't a matter of him not being tol 'no', it is a matter of a condition he has no control over. I would love to see the day when he looks at one of those triggers and just says 'Meh. What ever.' That will be an awesome day. You will get there, I have faith in you all. Until then, keep calm and paint a seashell.

[@anne-marielamont8765]

It made me laugh when Shannon asked nick if he wanted a rock..... he said yes and then threw it. It was like ok throw it. 😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️

Amazing Sunday! I love how passionate you are when building a pizza John. Looks incredible. I had a dream the other night that my husband and I were in your backyard and you were making us pizzas! We have been working on perfecting our at home pizza recipe the past couple months. I need the cripsy bottom all the way through so the slices don't flop, like you were mentioning at the end. Thanks for sharing your day with us! God bless! Oh, and I absolutely LOVE those tie-dye shirts. Great job Nicky!

What a beautiful day! I loved the Croce in the background.😊

[@kimaugust9920]

We all have some type of OCD, My is the way towels are folded and to mother little quirks but we are able to deal with them where Nicolas can't process that. That is a smart idea your friend had about the hair being up. I think it's just learning how to word things for him to process it differently, And I've seen you reword many things Because something's trigger him, So it's just a matter of figuring out what will work with him. I need to come over and have some of that pizza it looks amazing, Or you can send me some to Arizona

[@aggynancy4920]

your yard is looking great Nikki looks great in his shirt

[@kzngirl1]

I was wondering with transitioning sometimes being difficult , phone blue seems to help. Would a fidget item not maybe help ? Something small but sensory to replace phone blue ? Sorry if my question seems silly I am learning so much from these vids and absolutely love your family.

[@karenfrizzo4251]

Yum! whar great looking pizzas. John don't let other peoples opinions of what Nicky " should or shouldnt be doing at his age", bother you, you just go ahead and teach him in a way that suits him best that he can understand. . I understand how challenging things can get at times because my daughter also has to put up with comments from other people about my granddaughters behaviour, or my daughters parenting style" because my granddaughter who has Autism, OCD, and sensory disorder , amongst other things, can become extremeley upset, which at times can lead to challenging behaviours or a meltdown if things arent happening the way they usually do, or the way she expects they should..

[@NickyTVFamilyVlog]

Hi Karen, thank you so much for your encouragement. I really appreciate it. So you know first hand what this life is like. I'm so thankful for the community of people that have come together. It can be very isolating. Have a wonderful Tuesday my friend.

[@tammyadkins3537]

When you told him no more pepperoni he stopped and didn't get upset he doesn't seem to be bothered by no I know he has to let people do their thing but I'm a softie I would put my hair down for him it's only for a short time

[@NickyTVFamilyVlog]

Hi Tammy, you're right. I don't think it's about simply being told no. It's the OCD piece that he has a hard time with. We have to choose our spots to push back very carefully otherwise he can be an emotional physiological mess for the entire day and more. Thanks for the message my friend.

Hi Stacey, thanks for the message. Yes, Nick does ask his teachers to these things as well. They very careful pick there spots to push back or comply. The wrong decision can result in him being lost for the rest of the day. They are fantastic about it.
