it's great seeing Abbie's delayed reaction once she has a minute or two to process that Summer is actually there

[@jenniferstewart2697]

I absolutely love the bond Abby and Summer have....Its one that can't be broken

[@Autmazing]

That moment when Abbie grabbed Summer's wrist and led her across the room and all the smiles at Chic-Fil-A! Such an awesome vlog! I clicked so fast when I saw that smile on the thumbnail! ❤️

[@QtdiamonD]

Abbie is a typical teenager, when her friend arrives she goes upstairs with her instead of chilling with the adults 🤗

[@_Its.Just.Felix_]

I am a new subscriber and don't really know anyone with autism but what got me hooked was Abbie and how pure she is. I have the biggest smile on my face when i see Abbie excited and happy about things. I feel so proud every time she achieves something new or does something unprompted on her own, so I can't imagine the joy you feel as her parents every time she crosses another hill on her journey to more independence.

[@victorrackley7966]

I thought that it was so amazing when abbey grabbed summers hand and took her upstairs her smile and laugh is enough to make anybody's day better I always enjoy all of the videos.

[@rohitchakraborty6810]

SUMMER TIME !!! What a wonderful relationship Abbie and Summer have, it is so natural. Becka, Summer and Isaiah are truly wonderful young adults who have such loving, genuine and caring personalities. You are well blessed with these three. Abbie would cheer up anyone's darkest days with that smile and giggle. Great vlog x

[@suzzeehall6664]

Oh my gosh Abbie's look of disbelief when she saw Summer. It was like yes I love you but you can't be here because you left. Then after the shock wore off. Okay people back off Summer is mine and off Abbie drags her upstairs. That was just beautiful. For those who doubt Abbie's ability to understand , comprehend or show any emotion need to watch this vlog. I love watching your vlog they always brighten my day. Abbie you keep showing the world you don't need words to communicate when you have so much love in your heart. Have a marvelous time with Summer and keep on stimming 💖💖💖💖

[@vickiboyd2752]

Abbie signing thank you without the prompt and then grabbing the Easter grass and chowing down like dad, best video of the day! Way to go Abbie!

[@ebonylaster1405]

I love how Abbie has a regular teen relationship with Rebecca and Summer all 3 tease each other and have fun together there friendship is squad goals

[@HaleiwaGirl808]

Your family has the most incredible ability to make us viewers feel COMPLETELY like we are part of your family and it’s amazing!!!

[@reneem4619]

When Abby grabbed summers hand I just started crying it was so precious!! My cousin has 2 boys with autism and I’ve learned even more watching your channel and I now talk to her about stuff all the time and feel so much more knowledgeable because of you all! And I just want to say Isaiah is such a great kid and it all reflects back to the two of you!! I am so happy to have found your channel. My question is how have you both kept your relationship so strong? The team work you two have is amazing and refreshing to watch! A lot of parents going through a LOT less crumble but you both seem just so happy with each other it’s beautiful❤️

[@jennifercory4261]

I love watching your videos I also have a mostly non verbal autistic daughter named Paityn she is 3 and we are really hopeful for her future you guys really make it easy to trust the process and all the therapy's! Keep doing what you are doing and thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting us into your lives. 💓💓💓💓

[@Ranaluv77]

[@asuna.yuuki.1084]

Priscilla and Abbie's reactions to seeing Summer were so precious. Abbie looked like she had a blast with the girls.

[@katiedamjan1022]

I volunteered at first autism event today and had so much fun!!! It is because of your family and this channel that I final had the courage to follow my heart and spread the awareness of these amazing people. Thank you Abbie, asa, Priscilla, Isaiah, Maverick and best friend summer for spreading the love and inclusion to all message. I hear/ feel it loud and clear!

[@leslieann8882]

Love seeing the pure joy on Abbie's face, hanging out with her bestie like a typical teenager. So cool!!

[@Drama2Karma]

Abbies reaction to summer is priceless, how adorable! So shy at first hiding in the curtains, then super excited to show her friend to her room and her things!

[@crystalcurtis5599]

I'm not really a person to laugh and get in my feelings when I'm watching blogs but watching your guy's videos always gets me in my feelings I laughed so hard when abby got the cookie out of summers hand and whipped her head around I loved it so much

[@cecilialopez7040]

She has to learn to ask for money it just makes her typical teenager

[@sierrahhoward9369]

Cecilia LopeZ yup 😂

[@disneyfangirl3834]

All kids have There way for asking for Money watch she will learn

[@cheekie5707]

Seeing the end clip of you guys laughing and having such an amazing time with something so simple as edible grass shows you just what an amazing family you are. You see the love you all have for each other and i love it. You guys show just how "normal" as people like to say Abbie is. I think she is an amazing girl and from the binge watching of your channel I have done in the last week or so has shown so much independence improvement for her. I wish everyone knew about your channel there is so much to learn about not just autism but life itself and see the love you have in your family.

[@alisheets4441]

Such a special bond between Abbie and Summer is amazing. I love the way Abbie looks at Summer. True friendship.

[@WildCynnie]

My favorite thing about Abbie is how true to herself she is. She's always like "Okay give me a second to process what's happening" and it's just so great to see the pure joy on her face with her friend being there. As neurotypicals, we tend to forget that emotions are selectable and Abbie is a great reminder that we CAN choose to be happy and excited, even if sometimes it's a little overwhelming or harder to process.

[@chelseawiersma4194]

Abbie was so over the moon to see Summer! It's amazing to see the loving and caring people you've met and gotten to know through Abbie!

[@bryannacloutier4018]

its so heartwarming to see people who aren't adults, or her parents, treating her so kindly.

[@JessicaMccreery]

I have a final English exam tomorrow in my university that is also worth 40% of my mark, so I know how Isaiha feels! Your supportive words to him are great, and even helped calm me down too, Priscilla!

[@elizabethkocher9853]

Love that Summer surprised you! Love watching you guys! Such a wonderful family! ❤

[@nonsensefuntime4me]

Moo Baby *chomp, chomp chomp.... as you look intensely into Priscilla's eyes. LOVED IT!!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@dikoehler4255]

I love that Summer and Abby have such a loving connection, it melts my heart. 💕

[@janaleonard4702]

Your family is always a bright spot in my day! Hi Summer! What an awesome surprise! Pricilla's and Abbie's reactions were so heartwarming! Cilla, lady you're looking amazing!!!

[@elisascottcolorstreetexecu5228]

Oh. My. Goodness!!! Her face, her pure joy and that infectious smile when she was at dinner with Summer 😍

[@Seandei]

I have to say, how can anyone not love this child. She is just the best. You 3 are doing an excellent job giving her real life experiences to mold here. It just makes me happy to know there are parents that can and will do as u r doing. Brings a tear to my eyes because my son has a reading disability and it is trying at times but, what you guys do with that little flower is amazing to me. I applaud you guys, seems you are getting it done right or how it will work for Abbie.

[@bernhardtsen74]

so nice to see her flailing her arms like that!my uncle Silas took care of disabled kids back home in the mid 90s to mid 2000s! he misses those kids a lot he says!its a small town and his farm didnt earn so much so he took kids into his care!hugs and kisses from Denmark!

[@stephaniehastie4655]

When Abbie was eating the Easter grass after her dad and he told her to say moo. All I could think of was what if that turned into her first word. I loved this bit of a girl and her BFF. Both were so happy together. And Pricilla looks great! Jeans! Oh and Isiah , that ball totally creeps me out too.

[@Fogaa01]

So nice to see Summer back and it was a great surprise for Abbie and Priscilla... Nice work guy's, for another great vlog!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@Chubbrockkk]

I Just Started Watching So I Don't Know Much Great Channel Btw But Is Summer Their Daughter?

[@megan807]

He talks about it in the video, but she’s Ab’s Best friend. She met her through surfers for autism and has become like a family member. She is away at college in NY and is home for spring break.

[@Fogaa01]

Hi.. Summer is Abbie's best friend, she's also like a daughter to the Maass family. She's really awesome and loves Abbie (and the rest of the family) to bits. They originally met her at a Surfers for Autism event many years ago.. There is a vlog all about Summer and the family too so look out for it... 😀😀

[@katie2928]

Abbie’s reaction was priceless! She is the best!

[@amymakara]

i love seeing Abbie this happy. days can be hard, but this makes it all worth everything.

Seeing Abbie so happy warms my heart! I hope she has so much fun with Summer ♥️

I just love abbey. She is so adorable I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.. From a small youtuber..

[@darleencashion7012]

Her happiness is so innocent and pure. She reminds me of my son when he smiles its so beautiful and contagious I could watch it all day. She's such a sweet girl he character really shines through. She's extraordinary.

[@jodygiles8223]

I love how positive Cilla always is 🤗🤗🤗

[@centralpark404]

Wow, it's so sweet to see how much Abby enjoys and more importantly, NEEDS time with her friends. She truly does crave girl time and does indeed thrive with independence. ❤️💕♥️

[@hellamurphy]

I stumbled on this channel a few days ago and I seriously can't stop watching. I have no ties to autism at all- no one in my family has it, none of my friends or anyone in their family has it, but I love your family. Abbie is so sweet, you guys are so patient and smart. I can only hope to be as good of a parent to my own kids one day. Thank you so much for putting your life out there, you've taught me so much about autism.

[@jacquicoder7160]

What a surprise for all of us! It is always wonderful to see Summer and I love the girls out to dinner time. That edible grass segment was a bit much for me but you all were having so much fun, it was hard not to smile. Don't know how long Summer was able to stay but hope you all had a fabulous time with her.

[@LoreEclectic]

I've been so excited to watch this all day but I've been too busy, but I can finally sit down relax and watch it! Can't wait to see how happy Abbie is to see Summer

[@lilmomasoreal5280]

[@justsomerandomontheinternet]

Aww, the video was so sweet!! Abbie was so happy! Her excitement just radiated through the screen. So precious! It was so cute when she grabbed Summer's hand to go upstairs. Typical teen; they have to have their "girl time!"

[@allisonjenkins5069]

Discovered your channel this week. Your family’s positivity and willingness to share your life on KZbin is inspiring! Thank you for always leaving me with a smile when I watch your videos! ❤️

[@CynTheLasVegasGirl13]

It's always so nice to see Summer

[@corrinenicole8587]

I love watching this channel just to see how Abbie progresses. What did she learn new ? How well she is communicating I just love everything about this family❤️

[@tabitha4877]

I work at Disney World and a dad came to me today saying he lost his son. Then his daughter said that the little boy missing is autistic and doesn’t speak. I immediately thought of Abbie. Luckily he didn’t run too far away and we found him very quickly. I was so worried though because he had no way to tell someone he was lost and couldn’t talk. I thought it might be cool to have a button or something similar to what you have in the car, but maybe for a backpack 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@claudiarobinson9888]

You may suggest that parents registered at guest services at the parks of caustic and non verbal children. Perhaps a band like the ones you get at doctor office or hospitals so parents can write child's name and a number in case the child becomes lost. This way all cast members will know if you see a child alone with that band on, that the parents can be called.

[@Schenta]

[@kutie216]

Do you guys get Abby's moles checked? Just wondering because I had with some precancerous moles removed when I was her age and just thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it!! (make sure they check the scalp because its common to get them there!) I'm sure you guys have it all covered I just figured it wouldn't hurt to mention it :) Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us and I look up to you guys for your positive attitudes & outlook on life!!

[@centralpark404]

There's an awesome powder sunscreen that is waterproof and super easy to apply. It's mineral sunscreen and all natural - just swipe with the brush and you're done! Takes two seconds to apply and even kids don't complain. Colorescience. They sell it at Sephora.

This relationship is so amazing, you can see the happiness throughout her whole body. I’m a new subscriber and I have been binge watching your videos and I’m absolutely I’m love with your beautiful family. My son is high functioning so most people don’t realize, but he has so many struggles in school, so nice to see I’m not the only person out there that deals with hardship. My son was just diagnosed and he is already 16 yrs old,it has been frustrating since I’ve known since he was little but no one would listen doctors said he was just quirky. Things are starting to happen now and I’m so thankful, anyway I’m really enjoying you all. We used to live near you in Live Oak, Florida but we moved to Wisconsin about 10 yrs ago. So hi from Wisconsin 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@christinak2487]

I enjoyed watching Abbie's reaction to seeing Summer! My SPD kiddo sometimes needs a moment in that same situation because it can be happiness overload for him. I love how you're bringing awareness & understanding to SPD & Autism. You guys are awesome!

I stumbled upon your videos and channel(not through sbsk or anything but through my recommended) and instantly fell in love with your family. I myself have no connection with anyone with autism but I love the community and what you guys are doing to show awareness. Watching these videos has helped me learn about autism and being 16 with a job it has helped me know what to do in the case of coming in contact with an autistic person. Thank you guys for doing what you do and for making me laugh, cry, and learn with every new video!🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@alilfri4]

Pricilla’s pep talk about end of the year testing motivated me so much!!!! I am currently in finals week of my senior year of College! I’m in the process of doing 19 papers, all with varying length, that are all due by tomorrow at 11:59pm. I was getting really discouraged seeing all the work that has to be done and so I decided to take a break and watch your video. Thank you for that, Pricilla!!!! I’m ready to get back to work!!!!!!❤️
