Congratulations Priscilla ! I think Asa is also great for the way he is always proud and never seems to forget to mention how proud he is of Priscilla . What a great supportive marriage y'all have . Priscilla , FYI , I joined Lipstick momma today !!!

I've been struggling with anxiety and depression (like a lot of people) and there are days I just want to lay in bed and do nothing. You guys have helped me with it. Showing how everyone hits a rough patch, and that just because theres a bad moment in the day doesnt mean the day is ruined. I love you guys❤

I don't have anyone on my life who have autism but I come back every single day to learn more from your family. I found your channel about 2 months ago and now I'm addicted. It is so amazing watching videos and it just shocked me to see how far abbi has come.

[@amandarutherford5469]

Grace same. It’s so nice to be able to learn, and that way if you come across someone that has autism that you might be able to help if need be.

Congratulations Priscilla. It’s so cute when Abby gets excited when she sees Summer. Hope Isaiah feels better soon. Summer really does seem like a sister to both Abigail and Isaiah.

[@lenejensen492]

Hey 🙂 My name is Lene and I'm from Denmark. I stumbled across a video on FB and realized that you had a KZbin channel....SO....yep, you guessed it....I went right back to your first vlog 🙃 ...and spent the next month in front of the tv 🥴 I am now up to date on your vlogs 💪🏼 I don't have anything to do with anyone from 'the amazing world of autism', but I have to admit, even though I have gained a lot of new knowledge from you guys concerning autism, that I haven't felt surprised. I think it is because of the way you guys function as a family. The hard work, honesty, kindness and love that I feel as an essence from your vlogs is - for me - something that I wish would come naturally from everyone in the world....it really shouldn't be that difficult. 🤷🏼 You have an amazing and beautiful family (also the the family who isn't blood related 😉). The positivity that you guys surround yourselves with and try to live by, is contagious - thank you. 🤗 Okay...I think I've rambled enough now, and I hope my brain has translated everything properly from danish to english 🤞🏼 ..it's now 1am in DK and I'm off to bed 😴 Keep doing what you do - you do it so well 💜 PS. Congratulations Priscilla 🥇🏆

[@brendabee5944]

[@Preciouspiecesbyleslie]

🥺Cilla saying “Isaiah come say hi to your sister” is the sweetest I love how y’all look at Summer like your kid

[@hansentm]

I know you just kind of said it flippantly at the end of the vlog “You’re gonna be okay” but there have been so many times I’ve needed to hear that from somebody. Thank you so much for saying that. I think that’s what great about sharing the hard stuff with us, you get to show us how you are guys are okay even in your tough moments.

[@nuclearmomof5750]

Your vlog helps me remember to see the silver lining. Your positivity is contagious and just wonderful. Way to be an amazing inspiration.

[@morethanamemory8895]

I stumbled into one of your videos about a week ago and within 2 or 3 videos I had fallen in love with Sweet Abbie. I have been bing watching to catch up with everything. I'm so glad she is finding new ways to communicate. I just feel like she has so much more to "say".

[@kathleenfleming7519]

Abbie is an angelic sleeper. She looked so peaceful. CONGRATULATIONS, Priscilla! Top in the world is a HUGE accomplishment! ❤❤

[@angelshark64]

Leaving the reality in and how y'all bounce back helps us fellow parents stay positive. It lets us know we aren't alone. Remember many of your viewers have the exact same struggles you guys have. We are all in this together. I have found that the only people that truly understand my life with 2 boys on opposite ends of the spectrum are other parents. And only other parents. Asa you are helping us all by keeping it real. Parents are all in this together!💙💙💙💙

[@bethanykd]

[@shannacosper7366]

Thank you for pointing out how hard it has to be for her. I cannot imagine how hard it has to be for her to not be able to tell you what she needs or wants. Who knows, maybe that pull-up was itchy or didn't feel nice. I will never forget how grossed out when my breast fed babies would have a diaper blow out. Yeah I know they weren't a teenager, but it is never expected and it is never easy. But there is always a silver lining, their blowout meant that they had enough to eat. You guys are amazing and Abbie is reaching and teaching millions! Thank you for sharing her with us.

Medication in excessive amounts changes a persons personality, and you have to decide which is better; having your child be themselves, or making it easier for you. Sometimes that is a hard choice when things are bad.

I watch your channel for both the positive and the reality, and I love both! I think it's important to highlight struggles with disabilities, especially in caregivers because people forget that they're human too and caregiver fatigue is very much a real thing. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows, and that is okay. :) Keep doing what you're doing and don't worry about being negative (because you're not). Love you all!

[@karenswartz8280]

I understand wanting to portray things in the best possible way, and commend you for it, but I also commend you for acknowledging that the bad and the ugly are also part of it. It doesn’t hurt to show it or talk about it, imho, because that’s real life to your viewership too. It’s also helpful from a learning aspect, and a support aspect, to see those things. It helps to know you’re not alone in the struggles, and may capture an idea for some on what they can do differently, to make their lives easier, based on how Abbie behaves, and your responses to it. It’s such a valuable thing that you do here!

Not everything is all sweetness and rainbows and light, Maas Family. This shows that you’re all human and things happen, like the shredded pull up.
