Isaiah is a precious angel.

[@survivingitall5263]

Your son at 3:25 is such a HERO. People outside of our severe asd family could never imagine how much our older NT kids have to learn about all of the "parameters" we live within on a daily basis. He just naturally gives his assessment of her transitions that day. KNOWING and caring to learn about our special needs kids is the truest act of love to me.

[@WifeofaJer]

I love how he defends her like older brothers protect their little brothers and sisters. He says it matter a fact and leaves it at that.

[@jennifers.3818]

oh my heart with Isaiah and Abi asleep on the couch! I can't get over how much he loves and cares for her!

[@xcassandralittlex]

seems like she has such a good brother!

[@khristiethomas2065]

I’m addicted to watching your channel!! I found fathering autism a week ago. There hasn’t been a day go by that I haven’t watched videos. I love how confident Priscilla is! I’m so camera shy!

[@nunyabizevah]

Hehehe...Asa's "tall hair" (just after the 5:00 mark) was giving me Johnny Bravo.

[@emmyzima5972]

"did the camera add 10 pounds to my bangs" Asa, you are the king of jokes lol

[@naulasnook9506]

Literally melts my heart how sweet your son is, he takes such good care of his sister, its incredible the love between them!

[@Limitlesskkz2022]

This family just make me want to cry. I adore you guys so much. I accidentally came up on your video and can't stop watching.

[@ashgrey8677]

"I left something in North Carolina. I have to go." SAME

[@aliciashockley6949]

I appreciate all the amazing parents who does amazing job with their special need child/children. My son has autism and ADHD so I know how to deal with challenges, but I do it alone with amazing support from my family, doctors, school, my friends.

[@sircharlesyep9472]

You guys are the true meaning of “FAMILY” that’s love. God bless keep on being role models to the rest of us. Thank you

[@kikiwoodard160]

Asa and his hair. Priscilla you are always encouraging Asa. Brotherly love. Love how Isaiah is so great with Abbie.

[@adrimitch5623]

He's such a good, caring brother

[@omalila7399]

The love and appreciation in your family is so great. Isaiah is such a lovely person.

[@katielarose1731]

I think your son is the best big brother to his sister!

[@sofiastons4589]

The stream is at 4 AM for me, I think (I'm from Spain), I would have loved to see it. You became my favourite youtuber in a matter of days, whenever you upload I stop everything that I'm doing to come see you. And I currently started to watch every video on your channel. I don't have any question, I just wanted to tell you that you are awesome. Priscilla and you do great at parenting, your kids are proof of that. Isaiah is a great person and Abbie is the cutest girl to ever exist. Thank you for your work and I hope everything goes great for your family. I just spent about fifteen minutes writing this and I hope it's not too long and it doesn't have any kind of big mistake (if it does please tell me, english is just my second language).

[@leeannenoullett7382]

She loves him so so much

[@tracycardy6424]

Hi I'm new to this channel. My son has traits of autism, high anxiety, sensory sensitivity, and low mood. It's not been long since we had this diagnosis, he's 14. He's very vocal and says what's on his mind which makes me nervous. Ur vlog' s are brilliant. Ur son is such a lovely lad. He's so good with ur daughter. My daughter is very good with my son and helps loads. We live in England. My son's junior school didn't help us very much but since starting secondary school they have helped us loads. Thank u for sharing ur life with us all. U are so lovely as a family.

[@carolmenton8670]

I am very very supportive of the police but this should have never happened to this young man. I will pray that all works out. I too could have never had the self control of his father. Thank you for being pro active.

[@verityglendenning6499]

I cannot believe the story you told about the young man who was arrested! I live in England and work in a college for young adults with autism and special needs, and have worked with young people in the past who have been in similar situations. The thought of them being arrested and locked up absolutely boggles my mind?! I don’t understand it at all, that’s absolutely crazy I can’t believe it would ever happen. To lock someone up who has limited capacity to understand what they have done/ why they have been arrested/ what is happening/ where they are/ what is going to happen to them etc etc is terrifying. If that had ever happened to any of the people I have supported I would have absolutely flipped! I can’t imagine what that young man and his family went through, thank goodness they’re out. Well done you for helping them so much.

[@staceyruwoldt9158]

I love how he got distracted by his hair, and stopped talking about the topic he was before that happened:) Love how he stopped to say 'Look how tall my hair is' I had to laugh about Asa as it's the exact same thing I do 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💓 I don't get distracted by my hair, but I do the same thing, when I'm talking about a certain topic, then something else catches my eye, and I.end up getting completely thrown off to what I was just chatting about Haha 😂💕 Your kids looked so cute laying on the couch together under the blanket 😊❤💙💖💜💛💗💚

[@vnsasmlls]

Yeyyyy. Isaiah is back!! ❤️❤️

[@jessicathompson5778]

I'm crying right now how could the law enforcement can do this poor young man

[@momof4hs]

I just found you guys and have been watching all your videos in the last few days. I came here because I was very curious about autism and never have known anyone or been around anyone with it. I have learned so much. You guys are so sweet and SO FUNNY I love watching you all and I will continue to watch and look forward to your future videos. Abbie is one lucky girl to have parents and a brother like you!!

[@cookiefacetwgirlxoxo5947]

Your daughter is so cute..I just subscribed. Helping in understanding my friend with autism his brother is nonverbal too. She is brilliant and opinionated. Great job mom and dad she's going to be a bright young woman as she grows up.

[@lorisullivan327]

Bunco! I’m on a team! 😬yaay for Isaiah back! Glad for awareness spreading... can’t imagine what that family went through... 😢 you had four thousand viewers at the time of this recording, now you’re working on 400k... wow! 👍🏻

[@lennlen394]

hi i'm new subscriber from Malaysia..your daughter so pretty..and your video so inspiring..(sorry for my bad english)😊😊

[@bairdfamily5]

Can't wait for the live Q&A. I'd love to hear from Isiah! I have typical 15 and 14 yr old and Joe with autism (among other issues) age 11. Sometimes one of my typical kids does not handle being in public with his brother. He gets embarrassed by a fit and I'm left alone in the ground wrestling a 100lb man/boy. I guess I'm asking. How y'all handle the stress as a family. I had an ABA. I fired ABA. In process of getting different ABA.

[@nicolefoysten9094]

Isaiah has a golden soul.

[@abigailwood3981]

Isaiah is the bestest brother ever :)♥

[@vkb25041980]

Awesome, you are a great family. Keep up the spirit.

[@swettiepieily]

See I cannot wait to be a mom sometimes so I can fix their room up and make them feel at home and loved. I never had that but I cannot wait to do it for mine. I think your a great mom And I look up to you. So thank you

[@hayleytackett9486]

Asa when your hair looks like this you remind me of Johnny Bravo! That was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can look it up and you will understand. Love from Ohio! 💜💙

[@somethingclever6487]

I wish we could have heard your entire speech. Tacos are my favorite too! I could eat them everyday

[@lindsaylamont5420]

The thumbnail is so cute Aww the cuddle sesh 😊

[@kimberleyrose5974]

[@joannacouncil3875]

[@catherinescanlon1465]

It’s 1 degree here !!! I’ve just seen snow start too fall :(

[@asmrbyadelaide8527]

Best channel on youtube.

[@ssb753]

She is having a hard time expressing her brother is home He was so right about her transitioning

[@annahbear9634]

Isaiah is a great big brother😀

[@sarahthornton4131]

I was wondering, how do you guys hold down jobs. :) I have an autistic toddler and can't work because he needs my full-time care. Thanks for your videos! They are unique in the information they provide in a lighthearted manner, and have helped us a lot!❤

[@fatheringautism]

We own a small business so it makes our schedules more flexible.

[@sarahthornton4131]

Can you say what kind of business? Sorry if I'm being too nosy. You guys are so awesome! You inspire us so much!

[@fatheringautism]

Motorcycle, atv, and small engine repair shop. We’ve had it for 7 years.

[@gynebrahmorg4609]

Oh I Want a brother just like Isaiah

[@31armywife]

It’s so sad that law enforcement doesn’t realize that children with special needs need to not put in with general population. Clayton was arrested for attacking 3 people at his care home and destroying property. Had it not been that he was thrown off post for 60 days I would have been able to bring h8m home for the week he had to wait for the last and final and best placement he was in. They ended up putting him in regular juvenile detention. It was sad going to visit him. I think that was really the only time I remember seeing him so scared. Missing my baby so much. November 29 he would be 24

[@xccepted]

Did the camera add 10 pounds to my bangs 😂

[@connieleslie9076]

Your son is awesome:)

[@leeannenoullett7382]

Lol love it your hair all being Johnny brovo lol acea lol

[@ms.anderson6678]

you all are good parents 😊

[@fatheringautism]

Thank you.

[@kaleymerritt2220]

my brother has autism and I know how it affects other people I love my brother for who he is I would do anything for my brother I love my brother so much 😘😘😘😘😘

[@gourmet2276]

great to see isea home.

[@melissaarkell4510]

Welcome home Isaiah! My boys can't cope with transition at all.

[@imogensyms7164]

Can you do an updated sensory room tour?because I really want to see how she copes so I can steal some ideas for myself

[@faythrichardson8903]

You son is very awesome and nice

[@KarlaAkins1]

Our justice system is so ridiculous. What did they gain from locking up a man with autism. I have twin sons, age 22 with autism, and this is terrifying. Once they're in the system, no one in the system cares. At. All. They treat them like animals.

[@theresawarchulski5339]

Asa was just so lost for words 😂😂😂

[@leslier.1236]

That whole situation is a catch 22...let him go with leniency because he has special needs or don’t? Eeee idk. The police officer should/could have phrased it differently to not provoke the young man who was probably scared already about being out of his schedule. Granted, it’s possible he meant it as more of a joke and the young man couldn’t understand it- who knows at this point. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Putting him in general public lock up was not the correct way but there might not have been enough time or room to put him in an isolated area/specialty room. I’m glad the community came together and I do think the police do need more training to deal with these kinds of situations better because it easily could have escalated further. And it didn’t even need to be.

[@chaniecekinglife14]

Wife is beautiful... Love the hair down. Awesome Family :)

[@fatheringautism]

Thank you, I think she’s beautiful too. 😍

[@bretteeckel6738]

what questions do you ask in your respite interviews and what do you do if you have to reprimand a respite worker?

[@kwaktak]

This is the second story about individuals with autism in Florida being arrested for "assault." My 13yo has been an escape artist quite a few times at all hours but knock on wood nothing like that has happened. What steps have you taken to prevent an elopement by Abi? Are you familiar with AWAARE's Big Red Safety Box/Program?

[@fatheringautism]

+Neil K Hush...Big Red Box video coming soon. Lol

[@clarissahansen6242]

Don't worry Abby. I have autism too ( very high functioning and extremely verbal) but I hate transitions.

[@thjantti]

I will post my question here because the Q&A is 4 AM for me. Have you considered getting another AAC app for Abigail? Also could you do a more in depth video about the app that she uses and what kind of words she has on there (i have seen the aac app video but i would like even more in depth and updated (as i assume she has more words now)). Thank you.

[@alyssachew5782]

Alyssa thank God for that matter and do not know what the hell is going on with my new house in order to make sure that I have been trying to find the right now and I have been working on the other😍

[@flowerblooms5792]

Oh my word that is heartbreaking about the 20 year old who went to jail and a bit scary

[@ms.anderson6678]

also where can parents go for autism seminars

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

Ilove you somuch ❤

[@kaileevervalin8256]

I love Abigail she is so cute.

[@fatheringautism]

Agreed

[@fabiolasolis1193]

Your son is sooo 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@rebeccagreen9332]

I wish my friends daughter n yours could meet one day

[@smallcinema2010]

i watched pieces of the q&a

[@faythrichardson8903]

Where do u guys leave I would like to come and meet u guys some day

[@samanthajaske809]

My friend luke loved to be read too. Does abby like to be read to? I live in Florida as well.

[@la0424]

How could the police NOT understand?! It's ridiculous.

[@dawnlacasse5074]

I have a 19yr who has autism and he's very picky with food. He has a habit of smelling his food then won't eat it if it's not a smell he likes. I was wondering how do you handle the picky eating?

[@sydnieroberts9294]

2,000 followers in July and now in September you have 32,000 woah!

[@shekeyra100]

do you have the medical tags in usa in uk there are necklaces and bracelets etc with all medical issues/mental issues you tell them they engrave back with everything so if accident etc medical ppl can read same with police and its recognized

[@emilyhumphreythompso]

Have u tried using PECS for now and next during transitions? xxx

[@Tired_Panda_Zzz]

They commented a while back that Abbie had trouble with PECS because the pictures aren't lifelike so it's harder for her to associate the word with the object/phrase she want's to use :) I know you commented this a while ago, but I thought you may still be interested and want to know the answer! :)

[@DJayAce4]

Wow I can't believe they'd throw an autistic young man into jail, like without any understanding... Really unreal to me that they couldn't of thought that one through and got with the family and worked it out. The expenses that go into having a child with needs are probably high enough, like for the police to not even have any understanding at all and to just throw him in jail (for days...). It blows my mind... There should be laws again'st that, that in itself blows my mind that there isn't. Something needs to be done about a situation like this, I'm sure it happens and it isn't fair or right. That police department should be ashamed of themselves. Hope they can look back at this entire thing and learn from it. Breaks my heart people are like this :/

[@catherineritch6241]

Hello Father autism getting back to my own question, I listened to your blog again about the twenty year old boy, how he ran away and spat at an officer. This gets me so angry . I had to look into this, this scared me because I too have a twenty year old. Apparently there are legal rights for these adult children, it is illegal for any child under an IEP and a Behavioral Management Plan to be treated like this. They can speak to their social worker and learn their rights and advocate.. I am shocked that the police did not dismiss this or a least give him a warning. Is n't their job *to serve and protect*???? Treiffying...

[@nataliamartan3940]

How old was Abbie when she learned to use spoon and fork?

[@kyerafedoruk7777]

No more Gandalf 😂😂

[@My3.Boys.]

At what age did Abbie started ABA? What are your plans with Abbie when she becomes an adult?

High functioning?

[@SusanScrapPassion]

How was it that law enforcement did not recognize that there was a medical issue for that young man? They should have been educated about the autistic and cerebral palsy community.

[@tammiejohnson8627]

I also have CP and let me tell you law inforcment are very cruel. As an adult most of the time i dont like to leave my home the world is horriable
