I Got Called Out | St. Paddy's Day Q&A Reading Your Comments

[@christinateresabrown]

Whenever kids ask me why Jocelyn doesn't talk I always say "I don't know she never told me" 😹

[@fatheringautism]

Love it!

[@sammitchell1708]

Christina Teresa Brown this comment is amazing 😂

[@raulguzman6426]

LOL!!

[@laurathornton1456]

Perfect answer!

[@annettewalter2273]

Perfect answer. 🙂

[@gmatt107]

So much to say about the comment on how u treat ur son. She obviously has NOT watched enough to know your family values. He's not on drugs, loves spending time with his family, has said MANY times how much he loves his sister and on top of ALL of that wants to continue his education so he can help the autistic community. I feel foolish getting angry cuz u handled it so well lol. But I mean really, she is ignorant. Wow that felt good to rant.

[@medinatabor6492]

gmatt107 That remark didn't go over to well with me either. That statement could not be further from the truth.. They love BOTH of their children. Abby is special needs so of course they have to spend a lot of time w/ her. Isaiah. Yes ,the main topic of their vlog is Abby. This people invite us into their home in the hope of educating us on autism. Their little girl is autistic ,so course we see her a lot. Their son is a wonderful young man He smart, kind, compassionate, and well mannered. He loves his sister very much . He is the way he is because of his parents , who spent a lot of time with him, and continue to show him how important he is.

[@tracywarfel3419]

gmatt107 the person who made that comment obviously does not have kids, and obviously did not think the comment through. I mean parenting is not one size fits all. Kids require different things. They all have different needs. I mean, I have two healthy daughters 12 and 8, and I parent them different. I love them equally but, example my oldest is suoer mature so, I give her some space and allow her a little more freedoms. I also expect a little more from her. My youngest at 8 is not as mature as my 12 year old was when she was 8. My 8 year old is a little less mature. So while I pushed my older one academically because she can handle it, I held the little one back a year to start kinder later to give her more time to mature. Am I too strict on the oldest, or do I treay the little one like she is not smart. Neither. I parent according to the child's needs. I love them both and want the to succeed. It is the same for Priscilla and Asa. They parent according to their children's need. VERY SORRY ABOUT THE RANT. THAT COMMENT JUST DID NOT SIT WELL WITH ME. I mean come on are they suppose to treat Isaiah the same as they treat Abbie, or treat Abbie the same as Isaiah....either way the children's needs would not be met, and people would say they are bad parents if they treates them the same. No logic to that comment. Ugh!!!

[@PixelTheExtraTerrestrial]

Same did that person not see the time Isaiah got his turtle or his algebra rap at the start of the Chanel he's not left out

[@Cre80s]

She wasn't letting go of the cart. It kept eloping.

[@momof2plusotaku657]

Lol best comment!

[@theresadooley5717]

LOL! TOO FUNNY!

[@chelseababbyyy2490]

I wish I could 'love' react this comment!!

[@odesseyhaynes7015]

That's Amazing 😂😂😂

[@sharonludlow]

ive said this before but this family is amazing. keep doin what ur doin guys xxx

[@CreatingEssence]

"She thinks she's a dinosaur." OH MY GOODNESS! Hubby and I are laughing so hard. Our son is higher functioning than Abby, but we deal with the meltdowns, tics, stimming, etc. I get it. I should've whipped out the dinosaur response to adults a time or two. ;-)

[@anniepowers5208]

What part does he say thud

[@zelenanighthaven6459]

Creating Essence i laughed so hard at that part too!!

[@hyd8523]

I disagree with that comment. You treat them both equally but in different ways. Growing up with 5 siblings I definitely know how it is.

[@hyd8523]

Also, Asa your editing has gotten so much more comical i love it 😭😭

[@13covergirl95]

I don’t know where your wife picked you up at but damn you are seriously awesome. You are such a role model to all parents

[@kathleenlaviollette3609]

They have posted vlog about this. I recall that asa was in military. That's honestly all I can recall.

[@kristine3076]

Kristina Marie my favorite cereal

[@Elemarth]

Actually, one of the things I love about this vlog is that the "other" sibling gets a big part as well, and it's not just as a token effort, but you get really excited about Isaiah's football, driving, photography, etc. But maybe he hasn't shown up as much recently?

[@fatheringautism]

Yeah, ever since he started driving actually. He’s never with us! Lol

[@PinkeeLee]

it is so refreshing that after all of these years together you still make each other laugh. so important. you are a great team.

[@athenajohnson14]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch/General Mills should sponsor you guys! 😂👍🏼

[@AbigailBGnath]

We always treat our kids differently but equally. Our children are individuals with different personalities and different needs. We LOVE them equally. 💓

[@MayTheSecond]

I feel that the comment about you treating your children differently comes from someone who hasn't watched much of your content.. I think you guys are amazing people and even better parents. Props for how you handled the comment it made me smile.

[@darkbluematter1753]

As always, your sense of humor in dealing with life and KZbin comments just cracks me up!

[@yasmineyacin1181]

I remember the very first vlog i came across of you guys when i was researching autism on youtube and Abby was laying on the floor in the supermarket after a while cause she was done!! Look at her now !!!!!! What a change of behavior!! What at great job Abbie, the therapists and you guys have done. She has come a long and every improvement is an achievment for our kiddos! We are not trying to change them or cure them just help them be the best they can be!!!! And we will there every single step of the way!!!

[@marywangen4696]

Asa, the dinosaur comment is classic! My parents, siblings and I all have dwarfism. While I was growing up Dad's response to kids asking why he is so short, he didn't eat his veggies.

[@MissUnderstood-yi1zm]

Mary Wangen lol....that's soooooo funny! I love that. Sounds like he was/is a great Dad!

[@marywangen4696]

Alynn H he is!

[@sumtxflygrl1]

Thank you for continuing to speak about the communication aspect. I don’t think people understand how frustrating it can be when you cannot communicate your wants and needs. Each child is different, of course, but again, you guys amaze me.

[@jennifernelson2702]

“She thinks she’s a dinosaur” 😂

[@barbraworkman5122]

I lol'd at that so hard!!!

[@rachel.beth99]

"She thinks she's a dinosaur." Ohh my god, you guys give me LIFEE that is too funny

[@amandahowell1440]

Every child is different. They are their own person with their own personality and their own needs. So of course you have made Abbie your whole life...but that doesn't mean Isaiah isn't your whole life as well. Your love isn't divided by each child that you have...and I think most parents with more than one child would agree. I can tell how proud you are of Isaiah and you have expressed that many times. Keep being amazing...you all are truly an inspiration. Thanks for providing such incredible content for us all and for spreading Autism awareness 💙💚💛💜❤

[@jenneab2308]

Awesome !!! You handled that stupid comment about how you treat your kids different so gracefully love you guys you always bring a smile to my face 😁

[@tracywarfel3419]

Jennea B they did handle that question well. It bothers me that people are niave about how some children are treated different. It does not mean parents love one child over the other. It means they treat their children as people, and individuals. Kids should not be treated them same. There is no one universal one size fits all instructions for patenting. I mean come on how else should they treat Abbie? Treat her the same as Isaiah? Then people would say look how bad they treat their daughter. Are they suppose to treat Isaiah hiw they treat Abbie? Then they would be over bearinf controlling parents who heliciopter parent. Abbie requires a great deal of care due to her Autism, and Isaiah is a healthy male teen. No offense to the person who wrote that comment but, that was one of the least thought out comments I have ever seen. I mean the same parenting methods do not work for all kids. Crazy. That person must not have kids.

[@awkward567]

We need PP&P merch! Maybe aprons? Edit: I bet there are some teen girls who would buy specific Isaiah merch ;)

[@acarlee2]

Lucky42 I just said this and then scrolled and saw your comment. I believe this is all the proof we need that they will sell lol

[@medinatabor6492]

Like sleepers

[@penguin26772]

You guys are the best!! Thank you for being so nice all the time! You don't know how happy you guys made me again!! Please don't stop makin videos ok? ❤🤗🤗

[@Mamafet]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ashleighortiz406]

She did so well at the grocery store.. Grocery stores are crazy! So much of the same stuff.. How does one choose which carrots to get? They're all orange, right? Haha my mind captioned her actions at that point "well if you say so, mom.." haha! She's so awesome

[@saigebennett582]

I found your channel after my 3 year old son was diagnosed with autism! I knew nothing about autism before the diagnosis. Watching y'all has eased my mind alot! Thanks so much for sharing your family and story with everyone. You're very inspiring...

[@victorials15]

Thank you for teaching me about autism. Bc of ur channel I was able to calm down a customer with an autistic child at work because it wasn’t being properly handled by my manager. Ur making a difference in the world one retail employee at a time. U guys are awesome. May the force be with u.

[@barbarawilliams7194]

I LOVE the music you played in the background while the kids were together was a neat touch

[@HeatherFly]

We’ve been spoiled with videos this weekend! 😄 Really excited to get my Fathering Autism shirt! I’m going to give it a makeover, so I’ll be sure to post a photo for you to see when it’s done. ❤️

[@StarshineMakeup]

She is doing so well In the store now!

[@sarahwassum6314]

I love how she stops and the cart keeps going. For some reason it makes me giggle!

[@crystalnicole1287]

haha the way she just opened that drink while setting the groceries up... She's so dang precious!!!!

[@BettyGaffney]

Looks like she did a great job in the store!

[@mommad5905]

Isaiah is so good with Abby. It warms my heart. 💞

[@mommad5905]

You are exactly right! When your faced with challenges, you have to rise to the occasion!! Bless your heart!! 💞

[@shelleylong9346]

I don't know how this came up on my feed but so glad it did. I used to work in a group home with autistic adults on a wide spectrum. I love how much love you have for each other. I have seen way too many who have been thrown into the system and we have become their families and we get to see the improvements to their lives. MAD SUPPORT TO YOU GUYS!

[@angelawalle9936]

Vinyl decals that can be put on cars, water bottles etc.

[@thenickfamily7126]

You guys are amazing parents to both of your kiddos! Keep doing what you do! Naturally with special needs you will have to provide more time and care. I have no doubt that both of your kids feel equally loved. Their Needs are just different. God Bless!

[@zacandchad]

I would like to see merch in children sizes. My 4.5 year old stepson wants a "I'm so excited" shirt

[@kimlaberge6615]

I have a son who is autitisc and is now 22. Your channel has made me smile everyday knowing that im not the only parent out there dealing with the struggles of autism. Give your daughter a high five from brandon

[@framiebird9681]

What gentle precious parents you both are.

[@jewelryqueennz]

I have watched loads of your videos and you are a great father. Your attentiveness to both of your children is amazing. Please do not listen to ppl are still dealing with their own issues of abandonment. What I see is a family who is a strong unit and a brother and sister who act like brother and sister hehe. a father who adores his daughter and respects and honours his son. Priscilla is a hoot and it goes without saying, and is obvious she loves her entire family.

[@LaurenAnyone]

I literally just finished watching the last vlog! Good timing haha

[@emeraldm0on-yt]

LaurenAnyone is that Emma from ouat

[@amandahowell1440]

I love how you tell kids she thinks she is a dinosaur 😂I hope Abbie "Never Looses her Dinosaur" she's perfect just the way she is ❤

[@dodijohnson1230]

I loved this one! Great to see Abbie so concentrated on shopping; and calm! Really zero-ed in on the task at hand! I think you all are great! Also, Isiah, a big kudos for being a great big brother!

[@kaitlynpeterson7528]

You guys inspire me to be a parent, even with the ups and downs you both make it seem like a grand adventure

[@unicornkissesrebornnursery8483]

I have PDD-NOS. Wasn't diagnosed until I was 21. I'm not completely independent because I live with my boyfriend and his daughter, but I do have a job and my own car. I work in-home with different clients, my favorite client is a lot like Abbie. You guys are one of my favorite KZbinrs (and I have a lot)

[@manapuaman8966]

the both of you are incredible we need more parents like this

[@phoenixo7998]

waking up to a new video just made my day, you guys have taught me so much about autism and i’m SO EXCITED for world autism awareness month. i love you guys so much and i hope you guys have a wonderful day ❤️

[@McSabbie11]

I’m having such a bad anxiety depression day and your videos have helped a ton. Thank you so much!

[@brandiknepper5526]

You guys are so awesome. I look forward to your videos. They're usually posted on time for my hour lunch break and it really helps me get through the rest of the day. I love to see Abbie's progress and I'm glad to see she has a very amazing family guiding her through life. It truly warms my heart because some aren't fortunate to have that positivity. It just takes someone caring for another thrive. I love how real you guys are, explaining everything from Abbie's struggles, your struggles as parents and as business owners, and all the good times as a family. And Isah is such a good kid! Me and my sister weren't easy on our parents and sometimes I wish I could have been exactly like Isah for them. He's a good brother and a good human in general. I would say you two should be proud, but I already know you are. I love you guys, and I love that because of your family I have a better understanding of Autism, and I know how to react better around people from all backgrounds. You deserve an award just for educating. You truly are amazing and inspiring people.

[@Brewer8481]

Skyla.. if you see this.. keep your head up Sweetie. We're all praying for you.

[@courtneyrichards3895]

Thank you for doing these videos. I've been using your channel as a sort of exposure therapy because I used to be terrified of autistic people because I've only ever encountered extremely violent ones. You're definitely spreading awareness and I've become much more understanding.

[@zekatesogreat]

Thank you so much for your response to the “special kids to special people” comment. I have a son with Down Syndrome and cringe when I receive that same thing from people. I believe the same. We all rise up to challenges we are given in life... it has nothing to do with being special. Your response was refreshing and your channel has been supportive and resourceful for us as parents. Thanks again!

[@skyepiee714]

Before your channel i knew little to nothing about autism, thankyou for teaching myself and others how to understand and interact with people in the autism community. You inspire me to be a better person daily. i can’t wait to see where your channel goes and can’t wait to continue seeing Abbie grow. Thankyou for being who you are, you guys rock! -Skyler from Los Angeles California

[@kaitlyncowen9962]

Ever since I started watching your videos I've learnt so much. I've starting learning sign language. You guys are awesome! Amazing parents with amazing kids. thank you for sharing your life with us 💖

[@Julia-jp5nm]

I move around a lot and i fidget with things and when I watch you guys I am able to sit still almost the whole time and watch you and play with ear buds or a pencil crayon.

[@sarahreason7828]

YASSSSS!!! Someone besides me finally said it! The whole "god only gives special kids to parents who can handle it" is b.s. I've always hated that sentiment but it seemed I was alone in that.

[@odesseyhaynes7015]

The way that you guys answered that comment about Isaiah was awesome! Also, if Cilla is a T-rex (little arms 😂😂😂) Abbie is technically half dinosaur! 😂😂😂 Love you Cilla! I have short arms too!

[@queenjray]

My stepson has severe autism and is non-verbal like Abbie. I look forward to your videos everyday, so I know there are other families out there like us! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us! I would love a more "feminine" autism shirt. And Isaiah is truly an amazing brother/son!!! Keep up the great work guys, you are an inspiration!

[@marissah3125]

Omgosh!!!! She thinks she is a dinosaur!!! Best response EVER!!!! Lol Asa you’re a fun dad!

[@Cheye-one]

I agree, I don’t feel special because my son is special needs but I truly do feel blessed. Love watching you guys. Stay awesome 🤗

[@sostuckonstupid5132]

Hey guys! Love your family so much. Keep up the great work. You guys are doing great!

[@kellif1783]

This is an old vlog I know. But that comment was so wrong and I just want you to know that. You are an amazing father. Both of you are absolutely amazing parents.

[@Rararocks1]

JSA sounds like such an amazing and dedicated school.

[@mannassehbowman8549]

you made me cry With your answering questions session. thanks so much for being so open. God bless you richly

[@ta_li_tha]

Look not all kids get treated same!!! I feel your doing an AMAZING JOB

[@CelticFairyBox]

Wow iv never thought you treated one kid better

[@Investigativebean]

It’s true that there are very crappy parents that can’t even manage to raise nuerotypical children. We learn so much from our kids. We always look at what we have to teach them, but there is so much that they teach us. It really is a blessing. You excel at parenting from what I have seen.

[@anabellemeira5260]

HAHAHAHAHHA I loved the dinosaur part 😂😂 !! Love you guys so much !! You inspire me everyday 💕

[@chichirinuriko20]

0:06 OMFG! XD You love both kids the same! It just one is special needs and needs 24/7 care.

[@gemmamills7864]

I've recently found your channel after researching for a project I'm working on at work. I'm an employer and working to try and help people with different learning difficulties be independent, train them in the work place and potentially give them jobs.. that was the plan anyway.. to research but I have ended up falling in love with families such as yourself. Thanks for putting yourself out there!

[@kellieh854]

Ideas for more merch - keychains, bumper stickers, hoodies, bracelets, pins, patches! Love you guys!!!

[@victoriaeastland545]

Wow, that's a great question! I had a student have a meltdown at the doors of whole foods, and a parent came up and asked us saying, "I have a child on the spectrum, is there anything I can do to help You?" It was a sweet gesture, we couldn't use their help, but even a year later that meant so much.

[@EHCBunny4real]

My son had a meltdown in a line at Walt Disney World. Two women criticized me because he was wearing a child restraint. They felt he could be better managed if I held him by the hand. I dropped the lease and allowed them to care for my child and he slipped away. One woman had to run and catch him by his lease when he was steps away from Tom Sawyer's pier. She handed back my child and had nothing else to say.

[@gigisoglamorousipeeglitter7466]

EH CBunny People can be so judgemental and overbearing! I feel like how dare you criticize my parenting! You have no idea who I am, no idea what my situation is like, what special needs my child might have, and it's none of your business! You don't approach me acting superior and tell me what I need to do. Don't look down your nose at another parent and judge them. You're not in their shoes. It's one thing to offer your help or ask questions, but it's not ok to do what those women did to you!

[@karlysaeks7718]

I really enjoy watching your family

[@LindsayC]

I'm a single mom with a 5 year old girl who is engaged to be married to a woman with a 4 year old daughter with autism. One of my worries is my daughter being overshadowed by her new step-sister's needs. I watch your channel closely to see how you parent your two different children and all I see is you two loving your children the way they need to be loved and paid attention to. Autism is a huge part of your lives, sure, but I don't think you only give Abbie attention and not Isaiah. Thank you for sharing with all of us!

[@buns2380]

I love your family and videos...And you treat both your children with love and care...don't listen to the bad people!

[@5osi3]

Love watching your vlogs and yes each child is different and the way you show love is different .showing love from San Antonio tx

[@june29able]

I don't care what anyone says your love for both of your children is just soo amazing. you do things with both together but also separate. your son is a dream son his respect and his willingness to help his parents wow you have raised this boy to be a Man. continue as you are your love for both shows on their face when they are with you. I love your videos and your family...

[@susieballard4957]

I guess maybe the person that left the comment saying you don't treat your son with the same amount of attention as you do Abby didn't get to see the video where y'all surprised your son with tickets to the Gators football game. I could tell he was truly surprised and thankful for his gift. I'm sorry that people watch at 8 minute video and think they know your whole life and how you treat your children or which one you love more. Lol Like you could love one more than the other? I can tell your son has been raised with love and attention. I just can't get over how handsome he is. A mixture between Elvis and Tom Cruise except better looking than the both of them.😘

[@lorikiszkawoods9350]

I would love to see jigsaw puzzles of Abbie's Art. I think that would be so cool!

[@becmed2258]

Although I only see a very small portion of your lives I think you guys are amazing parents. I love how you guys stay positive even when it is hard. You keep pressing forward and don't look back. You guys have overcome overwhelming odds not only in your marriage but with raising both your kids to be the best that they can be. I throughly enjoy your channel. Yours is the only one that I have literally watched every video and look forward to the next one. Looking forward to many more videos. 😊

[@videogameboy7818]

Ok imma be 💯 percent honest.This is the first video I watched from this channel and I feel touched. My sister has autism and of course im used to it and it's good that you as a father to show people she's just unique and not wierd.Just remember all autistic kids are happy in their own world and mind

[@videogameboy7818]

I hoped I typed it not to not be offensive

[@mariebarrett8774]

You both have a fantastic relationship with both your children....All children are individuals with individual personalities that you nurture....All children are unique....as are all relationships in life be it with our children / or parents/ friends/ colleagues....

[@JCTVYouTubeChannel]

Abbie, we love kettle corn too!! Excellent work in the grocery store too!! We utilize the grocery store as a means for teaching life skills as well. Keep up the great work guys!! You have our support!!

[@StarshineMakeup]

She has came a long way since the wal mart video

[@Petra-R]

why is she yelling? „she thinks shes a dinosour“ 😂😂😂 best comment of the week! i love it!!!

[@cherylboyanowski5452]

I look forward to every video and I’m truly sad when they are over.

[@cherylboyanowski5452]

I love the cart rolling. Side note: Welch’s now have frozen avocado slices. Perfectly ripe and ready to use.

[@IndieAndy]

If I was a dinosaur I'd probably be a t-rex... then again I'd have short arms, nevermind! Great video guys. I found the medication interesting because I personally don't take any medication for my autism so it's interesting hearing other people's view. I think if it helping Abbie function better and be able to do more then it's only a good thing. Like you guys say it's been affecting her sleep which doesn't help as her carers/caregivers but if it was me, I'd rather lose people and know my kids are happy and progressing rather than giving them meds that change them. So basically I agree with you guys. Do we know when the Shorty Award folks are going to give you the award yet? :D

[@dianaward4846]

Amen guys!! You do whats right!! Love you guys

[@unbelievablyshort]

Thank you for the autism awareness your family are totally amazing and abbie done a great job in the store

[@cherispies9015]

And Abby is an angel and your family is Amazing and wonders

[@elizabethshoates7127]

I never comment on these blogs but the comment you read about how you treat your son differently than Abbi makes me wonder if hes watching a different fathering autisim blog I've never seen before. There is just no way hes watching the same blogs I am becsuse you and Prisillas parenting for both kids are heartwarming and tear jerking an clearly you can see how great of a job your both doing at balancing time for both kids! ❤

[@fatheringautism]

Thanks so much! You should comment more often...we certainly appreciate it.

[@MissChuffer93]

I love how far you guys have come :) the other day I was in the store and I saw a lady on her own she had a child having an autistic meltdown and she also had a 3 year old on the verge of a tantrum the lady was welling up so I went and grabbed 2 hot drinks and went and spoke to her gave her her drink and just said your doing a great job don’t worry about other people :) the relief on her face when she found one person in the store not judging her ! I told her to let the kids have there moment this is there way of communicating when there all done you can carry on :) she was lovely and so grateful I just gave her my time and understood :) xx

[@Stephdee13]

Awesome job grocery shopping, Ab!! 👍 Nothing like a "call out" from the wife 😂 You two are hilarious!

[@williamprice7948]

You got this Abbie

[@virginiahorvath4908]

I so enjoy watching your sweet , sassy Abbie. Thank you ! Virginia from Iowa originally from Maryland! I thought I special Ed with many different levels ! I loved it. Recently I have stepped into Christian Preschool and love it. Special Education helped me to be the best teacher I can. We need to always be thinking ahead of our kiddos! Typically they always was ahead of me. Lol

You guys are a lovely family and Abbie I'm proud of her strides & acomplish'es; including Isiah as well too.

[@stephenworrall2588]

Remember dad there are a lot of trolls on the Internet. Keep doing what your doing you have a lovely family you should be proud.

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

I found your VLOG. You are amazing parents. I had to laugh at her letting go of the cart. I like watching different videos when I can’t sleep and somehow yours came up. I think it is great you’re sharing about daughter. I’ve learned a lot. I don’t have kids. I’ve never been around anyone with autism. Your videos are informative and what can happen.
