Autistic Stimming At Fireworks Show | Fathering Autism Vlog #76

[@laurencraig4510]

I have never met Abigial, obviously, but I feel so connected to your family through the videos you post. She has the most amazing personality and has definitely had an impact on my life. I'm getting ready to start my college education in pursuit of an occupational therapy degree. Seeing children like Abbie make me that much more determined to push through the next several years to be able to help them meet their goals. Thank you Maass family for sharing your girl with us. ❤

[@meeronda6595]

As a parent of a child with special needs, you guys are inspiration to us all!! Thank you for sharing your stories!!!

[@thirdonetoo1212]

The split screen with Abbie and the fireworks gives such joy!! She is such a pure soul. ❤️

[@kwaktak]

Thank you for posting that letter. I wish there were more people with great amounts of empathy like that. We've had some good people work with our son who I wish I could adopt!

[@shyshy7292]

All of you are adorable and amazing! Just watching your videos has taught me a lot of life lessons and has shown me how to appreciate life and see all of the wonderful things around me, my fiance's little sister is on the autism spectrum and she's a beautiful person just like abbey! Thank you for everything you do, I don't think you realize exactly how much your channel teaches and helps people... i just recently found your channel and I've only watched a handful of videos so far and I've already learned A LOT. Now I'm working on catching up on all the others! Thank you for EVERYTHING y'all do much love! P.S. I love the DIY videos! I'm a crafter and I love applying your ideas to the things I make for Ivy (my partners sister)!

[@sashai.4067]

Watching Abigial's stims are so relaxing to me for some reason. She's adorable and I could watch her do that for an hour! lol

[@rachelender2905]

That smile is everything it just melts my heart

[@nataliamartan3940]

I don't live in America but I was so happy to watch how American people spend this day! Thank you so much . Happy 4 th of July!

[@shygirlnow2011]

Gawd! Abby has more of a daily life than I do! Erin's letter made me cry too. That is soooo trippy that all those people park on an interstate!

[@princehal4500]

You are doing a great job with Abbie. The love you have for her is palpable. So many times in your vlogs you and Priscilla spontaneously tell Abbie that you love her. My heart aches for you in those moments because I wish Abbie can give you the words, "I love you, too." Because she so clearly adores you both. She is still young and I am still hopeful that she can gain speech one day. Watching your Vlogs also makes me a better parent to my neurotypical kids. Makes me appreciate and love them for who they are and what they do - not for who I wish them to be or to do. And when they tell me they love me, I make sure to stop and tell them back that I love them too. Thank you are sharing your life and family. I see the hard work and infinite patience that it takes.

[@jaimereynolds258]

I loved her little foot up on the back of your seat lol The ring people? LMAO That was fun.

[@michelleversace6030]

it wasnt that funny chill

[@mararitzel8061]

9:02 that laugh!!!

[@uniquely__awkwardsimply__b2701]

The post Aaron wrote was beautiful... I think she wrote what everyone feels and like you said that's why we watch you guys videos .... We all love abby so much!!!! She just warms my heart !!!

[@KarlaAkins1]

Wow, she did a great job handling the fireworks! I'm impressed! My 22-year-old autis sons actually got to shoot their own this year and they were so excited. It was so funny watching them light one and run for their lives. But it was heart-warming, too. Abbey does better than I do! I've never cared for fireworks. Go, Abbey! Such a great day!

[@heidihokes7789]

You all are such AWESOME parents!!!! No two ways about it!!!! You're the best of the best!!!

[@codysmom4444]

Oh my gosh.... Pricilla is my soul sister! the shows she mentioned are all my favs!! You guys are awesome!! Watching your KZbin videos helps me feel not so alone in this autism world 👍🏼

[@SageShadows]

fireworks are iffy! the ones on the third were great, i had a great time. the ones on the fourth were a lot for me to handle. i'm glad you guys had a good time!

[@smallcinema2010]

abbie looks so happy watching the fireworks! 😁

[@WXLM-MorganNicole619]

LOL! "The ring people". As for Abigail "stim yourself silly...". Love the way you all just roll with it! That comment that the camp buddy Erin made was so touching :-). Keep up the great videos. Through your documenting the experiences autism, I better understand myself. Thank you for helping me better understand myself

[@sguemperlein]

[@Petra-R]

OMG look at abbies face during the firework ❤️❤️ i love it! she looks so happy!! everyone should see beautiful things with abbies innocent eyes ❤️

[@AutismFamilyChannel]

Love it. Our middle son had jazz hands during the fireworks like I had never seen before. His fingers looked like they were going to jump off his palms. They sure had a great time, though.

[@jenniferoliver8092]

Look how happy Abbie watching the fireworks!!!!

[@seriousblond007]

Been following your page for a while now and I always go back and watch videos over or go and like the ones I forgot to like lol but with that being said.. Priscilla is always looking so cute! Cutest clothes and makeup she’s always on point lol like how?! You go girl! ❤️

[@heatherjunker967]

Abbie has a beautiful smile. Loved seeing her so happy with her Dad in the pool with her. That duck float is huge! Wonder where they got it?

[@lauramac90]

I love your guys sense of humour ❤ I'm going though a tough time right now, in homeless accommodation with my daughter who is autistic and a baby and your vlogs just make me smile and brighton my day ❤ Love from Scotland x

[@nattyandherdoglexiew4043]

"You laugh like you know who that is" 😂😂

[@beatingtype1]

I love y’all! Abbie was so little! Grat job with vlogs! Love the B-roll! I’ve been watching since 2018. I’ve learned so much. Thank you so much for what you do!

[@sarahcavanaugh572]

I love watching your videos and you should get headphones for Abbie because I don’t loud noises so much and she touched my heart and aspired me I love summer and I wish I could go special needs camp and how is Abbies brother and how is your dogs are doing

[@kristenkelley8285]

Your daughter is so very inspiring and touches the lives of all who know of her 💕

[@Asmrclau85]

im glad you'll had fun! My daughter doesn't do well at peoples houses, or places at all. she will probably stay for like 5 min before getting anxtious and starts getting desperate to leave. So we don't hardly go out when we get invited places. she also doesn't do well with other kids either, she avoids them. So im glad at least abbie had fun! Some days are hard for me, but knowing im not the only ones who has tought days just makes my day better. My daughter is only 5 so we have a long road ahead of us. So you guys just put a smile on my face when I am having a hard day with my daughter. Thank you!

[@alliebabydoll6280]

Makeuplover my daughter is 3 and we can't really bring her anywhere without her having a meltdown , so you're not alone.

[@alliebabydoll6280]

Priscilla Maass thanks Priscilla, that's reassuring!! ☺️ we still bring her with us everywhere, we are just learning to ignore the stares of people thinking she's being a "brat". Out daughter is non verbal , as well as sensory issues combined, so she just screams a lot because she's frustrated .

[@OctaviaG]

😭😭at 12:45....Very awesome message from her summer camp pal! Great vlog!!😃

[@kristencompton2680]

Yeah Cilla!!!! Love those shows and movies! SVU especially.

[@DebrathePaleoista]

Great video, yet again! Such a sweet post. I almost cried. I'm glad you guys had a great 4th. Ours was something else. I didn't get any video. I'm going to try to get back into video making soon.

[@Lealea64]

The Gandalf bit floored me. You guys are awesome

[@jeskevanstraalen-slegers6793]

I love how Abby is in the back like ET in 3.36 🤣

[@dennisthecow]

You guys are great, your channel has been informative, fun and just realistic and loving keep up the great work. My wee boy Brandon was only diagnosed with autism at the start of this year and I have been going crazy read and watching everything I can to try and help my 5 year old. I was honestly starting to get really overwhelmed with everything till I found your channel and after watching all the vlogs I really want to say thank you to you and your whole family for making me feel like " ok I am doing ok and I can do this and do the best for my son" thank you again ❤️ and happy 4th of July 🎆🎇🎆

[@mamap17]

You have such a beautiful family❤️ you are a very lucky man !

[@barbarawilliams7194]

I NEVER know either.........my Husband ALWAYS makes fun of me for not knowing different movies and celebrities. He also ALWAYS corrects me as comically as possible when I say things wrong AND he ALWAYS says “nobody puts a baby in the corner” lol You & Mark would hit it off GR8! Ty for sharing your lives with us❤️

[@Box2able]

Pricilla is killing me trying to guess what Gandalf is from!

[@Umbrellaoflove]

I love the matrix!!!!❣️🇨🇦

[@EHCBunny4real]

You may have to switch to 'warm' lighting for Abby's aversion of bright lights instead of the bright lights you're using for video.

[@staceyruwoldt9158]

Yeah!!!!!.... more FIREWORKS! 😁 Best thing ever, older video but absolutely love fireworks, appreciate every single one of your videos 😀💓 Could anyone please enlighten me on why some people refer to the cops as the fuss? I'm on the spectrum and I've never being able to understand it:) 💕 Love Abby's smile, she has such a great one, I was bubby like her once too, at her age actually and younger 😊 It's different for every child=) 💓💓 Abigail is such an amazing girl, and I absolutely agree smile as often as you can, it's catchy (can't spell the other word💕), I smile always at every new person I meet, saying Goodbye too. Often if I catch somebody staring at me I just smile at them to show I'm friendly and accepting, I learnt that from Mum that's what she does 🌞🌈

[@iksonmusic485]

Glad you got good use of my music! Cheers from Sweden / ikson

[@fatheringautism]

It's fantastic. Had some comments that my subs liked the music as well. Good work.

[@koreanchick1417]
