He Told Us His Secret!

[@kittykats20]

Abbie hugging Asa whilst trying to get the family pic was so sweet.

[@carlyjohnson8104]

This girl is such a Chatty Cathy! 😂 I love all of the ways she communicates.

[@conniereinhardt4312]

Isaiah blurting out he has a girlfriend and remembering the vlog doesn't know is the cutest thing ever!

[@fatheringautism]

We watched it back and laughed at the face he made a few times lol.

[@jonathangaleai7009]

The look of oh by the way I have a girlfriend lol

[@SpoonieEtte]

ya but we know now! :D lol sorry Isaiah

[@megan807]

Pretty sure it’s the girl he went to the prom with who plays softball. Not the original girl he asked to prom

[@rachalchace5604]

She is one lucky girl , you raised an awesome son

[@holstahipz]

6:18...if you listen really closely, you can hear the breaking of hearts all over the world 😂💔

[@fatheringautism]

Hahaha

[@marianneblack2688]

Cilla I dont point this out to be rude so please dont think thats my intent, but, theres a HUGE difference in watching you walk and make your way around places. Im sure you feel it, i just wanted you to know its so awesome to see how many positive changes there have been in such a short amount of time since your surgery. Its amazing and youre such a badass!!!

[@fatheringautism]

She’s a boss! I’m so proud of her progress. I’ll share your comment with her. I know she will appreciate you noticing.

[@MissEmJayC]

@@fatheringautism It's really great to see as I'm in the process of getting bariatric surgery too. I hope there are some videos on her journey? It's a different process here (UK) I think but still fab seeing those who are doing so well after. What surgery did she have? If you don't mind me asking x

[@jamiedearestt]

LOVE the bit at 8:40 where Abbie hugs Asa as he’s trying to take a selfie and then Isaiah grabs her face lovingly after the photo was taken. Ugh, I adore you all.

[@cameronhamilton4875]

"it's just a cabin in the woods where nobody can hear you or your screams" thanks asa super supportive lol

[@amberbrady8719]

This vlog was special to me. My Grandmother graduated from Montreat when she was young, she passed away in 2017. But, I was so proud to hear the stories of my Grandmother going to college, even though her family had no money to send her. She worked very hard, and completed her dream of a higher education in a time where not many women did that.

[@suzannelocklear3899]

So glad Abbie is doing so well on the trip and so glad summer got to see so many new things this vacation

[@bluedrgn52]

That part where you're taking pictures in front of the mansion, and Abbie hugs Asa...Oh...my heart. I'd give anything to be able to hug my dad again. (He passed 7 years ago) and I just wanted to share how much it made me smile that you gave her a really good hug back. Keep hugging. It matters.

[@panda1499]

Isaiah, I’m speaking from experience, choose the small school!!! After watching the more recent blogs I know App State is your top choice, but I have to agree with your dad, you would THRIVE at Montreat. I went to a small college in PA, had small class sizes and most of my professors were the department heads. I graduated 13 years ago and can still walk on campus and professors and staff still know me. It’s an awesome feeling.

[@kellymadison3351]

I loved how happy Priscilla was when you approached the gas station. Made me laugh! And I loved the comment Asa made about hearing the “sounds of my people.” So cute! Love your family! I get so excited when you upload a new video.

[@Hallz18]

Pricilla, your laughter, smile and happiness is contagious ☺️💕 Thank you!

[@heatherjunker967]

It was great meeting you all in Charlotte. My hubby and I went to Biltmore for our honeymoon. We were married one week before Christmas so Biltmore was lit up with candles everywhere.

[@lizgetz5065]

I was so excited for the glimpse of Montreat College at the beginning. It is a special place to me I spent 1 week each summer during high school with a church camp with kids all over the Southeast and we stayed in the dorms. It was an amazing time at a beautiful place!

[@tarynalbert7914]

Priscilla’s laugh lights me up. Her laugh is so contagious!!!! Watching your videos always brightens my day!!

[@cynthiatestani]

My daughter is the same way and needed a small school. She did a year at Washington College in Maryland and Isaiah would love it there too.

[@haleydev]

“The sound of my people “ 😂 love it!

[@monaleesa9]

Lol when summer says “we are soooo toast” glad you found some gas! Lol I do this all the time I know the feeling!

[@PotatoQueen1989]

Aww Abbie giving Asa a hug trying to get a family picture that was the sweetest thing ever, it looks so beautiful over there, I can't Believe how calm Priscilla was nearly running out of gas on a mountain, Y'all are awesome ♥

[@christa526]

Love you guys so much. Thank you for sharing this special family event with your fans. You guys are the best! Please encourage Isaiah to carefully look at the financials and instate/out of state involved in each school. So many young graduates new to the work world are drowning in student debt leading to heavy burden and even feelings of depression and hopelessness.

[@jenibrynard6856]

The Biltmore estate is SO fun. I went once when I was young, and I was able to go back with my husband, daughter, and grandparents a few years ago. It was snowing when we went, and it was so magical. It’s one of my most favorite places ever!

[@katie2928]

You have really opened up my mind to autism awareness. You are one awesome family Maass crew.💕💕

[@LoreEclectic]

Scilla just chatting with Abbie while she does her hair warms my heart

[@DaliwolfBacon]

I really enjoyed this video! My husband and I went to the Biltmore for our 20th wedding anniversary, and as you all went through there, we relived our time there :). I agree that a small school would be great for Isiah. Give yourself every advantage you can Isiah!!! Love you guys!

[@shan6553]

Isaiah, you should really listen to your mom about seeing all the campuses (even ones you don’t like). I walked onto my campus during a visit and HATED it, but ended up there because of family things. I ended up loving the school I went to. I never gave it a fair shake, as it were. So my advice, give all schools a fair go and to look the school up on social media so you can get an idea of the campus atmosphere.

[@helenwilliams9920]

Wow such a beautiful place!! So excited for Isaiah!! Can't wait to see where he picks!!!

[@jessicagiangreco7104]

I love this! Abbie has so much to say about everything. And Isaiah, I think it's sweet that your parents have let you choose to share your life details at your pace. I also think your school options look amazing! What an exciting trip for your family. Summer, you.are an awesome "big sister"!

[@sarahbeylemans7747]

It's just after midnight here in Belgium and I just finished studying for my exam tomorrow! Perfect that you uploaded a video for me to unwind :) love you guys! xx

[@cheyenneschwab9580]

Y’alls family always makes me smile hope you found a college you like Isaiah!

[@carolynsimpson9253]

Love that Abbie is into hugging so much more.

[@janetgrigoratos9318]

Im from Canada, And Im obsessed with that place! The guy built a freaking railroad to facilitate the building of the place! Its such an interesting story. I would love to visit one day! You guys are lucky folks!

[@abigailarmbruster7341]

Well, I subscribed back in March after watching one of your videos on FB. Random, as I am not subscribed to anything autism related and have no relation to autism. I got hooked, and that’s saying something since I’ve never been interested in the vlogging world. Your family dynamic, your love for each other, and the way you treat Abbie is definitely addictive. I couldn’t stop watching after I got started, so I went all the way back to the beginning. I have now officially watched all of your videos (You’re welcome for the 800+ views and watching all those ads lol). When I subscribed, you had 130K subscribers, and now you have 245K, closing in on that 250! What an accomplishment! I’m so proud of you guys and what you represent. You are a wonderful family, and I’m so glad you share your lives and your day to day struggles and triumphs. P.S. So about those brown Fathering Autism sunglasses... Coming back into stock yet??? ;)

[@kristenmaxwell2747]

I love when y'all were taking the picture in the grass Abbie just comes up and hugs you Asa 💙 so sweet

[@abbyleech8927]

Honestly I love you guys so much, when you upload it’s one of my favourite parts of my day. I hope Isaiah pick this school xxx

[@natalieruiz5715]

You guys are so family goals. Mom : would you guys relax!!!? Dad : this is the worst place to run out of gas 😂😭

[@wanupgirl]

he has a girlfriend, that's great. but him asking about if the vlog knows yet is so cute. whomever she is, is one lucky young lady and I wish them much happiness together.

[@KC-zn1mg]

I’m so happy for Isaiah!😃 Hope all goes well and he’s happy. Maybe we shall see more of the secret on the blog eventually.

[@sharonj7274]

is there a vlog that introduces his gf?

[@VolleyballChick801]

I toured Montreal as well and have a friend that goes there. I wanted to play sports and didn’t choose it for that reason but I loved it! I decided to attend a different small school instead and don’t regret choosing a small school. I wanted to be a big fish in a small pond and knew I would do best in that environment. Isaiah would love a small school!

[@mariacarter7786]

You all make me laugh and smile I was up set then I watch this video and it makes me laugh. Love this family

[@katiechrist868]

You guys need to come to Newport, RI there are so many mansions within walking distance of each other, you’d love it! It gets pretty crowded in the summer though...also love watching this channel, I don’t have kids and only know a few folks with autism but you guys are just so genuine it’s great to see!

[@TheHaleygermaine]

I did respite care & it was a similar situation as with your family & Summer because I wasn’t just a stranger it was for a boy my age & his family that I lived down the street from my whole life. The mother already had me working for them so I ended up doing everything I needed to do to become a respite worker & work solely for them. MY POINT TO THIS IS I live in California & I got to go on vacation with them to New York & I would have never had that opportunity without them! They became like family & I am so thankful for getting to do that!

[@benhenker3503]

As a college junior, I understand the pressure of finding the right college. But I have to fully agree with what you all did about a small campus. I go to Northwestern College in Iowa (about 1200 students enrolled) and you just get to become close with not only other students on campus but you become part of your professors family. It is way easier to get to know the professors and get a chance to go get coffee when in a smaller college. I love the small feeling and I would highly recommend it Isaiah!! God bless you all! I just started watching your videos and love your family! I had a best friend in from 1st grade till graduation from high School that had autism and it was one of the best times of my life getting to know him! He is one of the many reasons why I want to be a elementary teacher with a special education endorsement.

[@racheljordan3491]

I’m new to the channel but I love watching the vlogs! Just some insight on the college decision, I personally go to a small college (1200 students) and I absolutely love it! The professors know me and it’s really easy to get the academic help I need, along with getting to know a large amount of my classmates! I hope the search goes well for Isaiah

[@jessginger1347]

I’ve been to another Vanderbilt mansion, The Breakers, in Newport, RI, and it’s architecture is stunning each time I go! Definitely want to see Biltmore someday!

[@kasie680]

Oh that building is stunning!!! I’m with you Asa! I’d be listening to all the information!!

[@mallorywaters4523]

[@staceyruwoldt9158]

That is the most beautiful campus ever!!!!!!!!! I love how historical it is!!!!!!! 😁💗💗💗💗💗 The mountains in the background how gorgeous, and it's got such lovely green grass and trees so pretty 😀😄💖💖 Haha Isiah's face when he realized he had said too much! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💓 We've all being there, not relationship territory, just in terms of where you accidentally reveal something 😊 That was so funny Priscilla's reaction when there was a Gas Station in the mountains 😂😂😂😂😂💕, which meant she could prove her family wrong, they weren't gonna break down before they could find a gas station ☺❤💜

[@harpergilbert6256]

Isaiah I go to a small university and I would highly recommend it! It’s a way less competitive environment where the professors know you by name. I feel like I have all the tools to let me excel because of my smaller class sizes. I hope you pick the best place for you though!

[@inthelifeoffaintingkait7389]

My heart just broke a little when Isaiah said he had a girlfriend, but I wish them the best.

[@edwinastockstill5598]

Love seeing the campuses. My daughter loves her small campus life at Mississippi College. The classes are super small. All of her professors know her by first name. Small colleges are so much better for learning.

Your concern that this may be Isaiah's town so touched my heart. 💕

[@pamelacupelli3326]

Thank you for taking us on your journey! I have to say that I felt the anxiety with the lack of gas stations! I was hoping everyone was wrong and Pricilla was right! I love you all! I have been praying for your traveling mercies!

[@Theneighborlywombwitch]

I know Dan’l Boone inn is a historic establishment, but I’m baffled that they don’t take cards! We’ve thought about stopping in a few times, but $20 a plate is ridiculous. Charlotte Douglas is the cheaper airport. Flying into Asheville is so so expensive.

Enjoying your trip to the different colleges. Feel like I'm right there with you all. Terrific scenery.

[@michellehorning2216]

I knew it wouldn't be long before we heard Isaiah had a girl friend. So happy for him. 😊 Great tour again today! Loved the gas situation and the last minute gas station. Been there, done that! Lol! Restaurant stress can be awful on vacation! The cabin was a bit creepy, Csilla! 😊💕

The reason for the ropes around the pool at the biltmore house was not because they couldn't swim it was more of because the swim suits were so heavy that it would drag them down.

Central Washing University is a GREAT small school setting! The average class size is about 20 give or take. Some are much larger but it just depends on the building.
