LEARNING LIFE SKILLS WITH AUTISM

[@madisongregson6349]

You are such a sweet mom! I seriously just want to cry happy tears with how sweet and patient you are with Noah! He's such a sweet kiddo and you are an amazing mother to him and all your kiddos! Thanks for letting us watch sweet moments of your family!!

[@alexise.2270]

It's so great Noah is learning some additional life skills. I can tell how much of an effort it is to remain positive while teaching him (and dealing with all the other kid's needs). You are doing a great job Mama!

[@marvelboy128]

Noah is lucky to have a mum like you. I love how encouraging you were with him. Your doing a great job. Don't listen to the people that tell your not. Good Luck to you and your family xxx

[@sheisasurvivor8479]

I can’t imagine how hard day to day life is keeping up with the responsibilities of your job. The first two to three years of my little guys life was very stressful for me because we were in a period of transition and going through some really crappy things but that is all in the past now, thank God! “Tough times don’t last but tough teams do!” Y’all are awesome.

[@iylasherbondy864]

Your hands are full!. And your doing a amazing job at balancing everyone and what they want/need. I have a toddler and a infant and let’s be real most days I want to pull out my hair!. And to think you have four!. Keep up the good work. Each day brings new laughter,memories , and unforgettable moments.

[@rachaelstevens9022]

Yay!! Go Noah! I was so happy he disn't give up right away when he couldn't get it. You offered help but he wanted to do it!! Such a great kiddo!!!

[@spud6195]

Great job Noah, first time cooking on the stove and doing so much yourself and trying so hard too! I had to laugh when he said 'Mom you're weird' my 10 year old tells me that exact thing on a daily basis. I love the vlogging that you do, it's real and that's something I appreciate when watching vlogs. You're a great Mom doing what needs to be done and what's best for your child, while screen time isn't ideal sometimes it is what is needed and helps the most. I think all Moms think they are getting it wrong. I know I certainly do.

[@Exactpie1]

You and fatheringautism live near each other. Maybe they would be a good resource for you to get good therapy. Don't give them your time of day. You're doing the best you can, and that is more than some people. Have a beautiful day! :)

[@EvadoCouto]

I know I don’t know him in real life but I felt so proud watching him learn to prepare a meal on the stove with you! Also looks like Mama Stephanie makes BOMB grilled cheese. That sizzle!! Oh and I teared up when he opened the cheese successfully! I’m not even PMSing 😂

[@MrsKMango]

You are an awesome mom! My 6 year old son was just diagnosed with autism 2 months ago, and I have been binge watching your channel. I've worked with kids with autism, but it is so different experiencing this life as a mother. It feels so overwhelming at times, but there is also so much joy in having a child with autism. I love that you show both sides of life with autism. Thank you!

[@angie8232]

Babe, if you are doing your best to love, support, spend as much time with your kids you are a great parent! No one can tell you different! No parent is the same, and as long as you put your best effort into their well being, to me, that’s good parenting, f*** the rest. I’m sure people said things to my parents about my brother and his temper, etc but they also didn’t have an autistic child to handle from day to day, so who are they to judge. Keep up the great work.

[@Emiceratops]

I honestly haven't been watching you guys for too long but the way you're so patient with Noah is so inspiring. Your the type of parent that I hope to be in the next few years! Defiantly have a thing or two to learn from you. Keep being awesome mumma!

[@shaniebernadette]

Just subscribed! I randomly stumbled across a fatheringautism video one day and became obsessed with learning about autism and then you came into my recommended and I love it! Noah is freaking adorable!! I love watching him be him. Thanks for letting me into your life! :)

[@auntbssewingquiltingandcra3442]

My son who has Autism turned 20 yesterday. He’s an awesome young man. I’m so blessed to be his mom. Your doing an awesome job. Hang in there.

[@madalyns9594]

HES LITERALLY SO CUTE OH MY GOSH I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL HIS EXCITEMENT ABOUT THE CHEESE AND IT JUST MAKES MY HEART SO HAPPY SO THANK YOU NOAH FOR MY HEART BEING HAPPY

[@camhowe349]

Madalyn S totally agree

[@jenndpbudgets]

I feel like you truely love your kids and do what's best for them. You respect their safely and comfort.

[@ThreeRainbowsOverTexas]

Dear Noah, I have problems opening cheese slices at times and it almost always breaks! You did great Your fan, Melissa 😁

[@ThreeRainbowsOverTexas]

Our LANDing Crew sadly this is my truth! 😂 I cannot open cheese without breaking it. At least it all melts the same. Gotta let him know his fans understand his struggles. Lol 😁

[@danabarmak5182]

I break them all the time too 😜

[@ThreeRainbowsOverTexas]

Family B good to know I am not alone. Lol. Noah did much better than me!

[@haileydauzat5754]

I hate opening cheese too I always get frustrated lol and then it tears the struggle is real

[@ThreeRainbowsOverTexas]

Hailey Shaffer I'm not a huge OCD person but there are some things that trigger me and that's one of them if in making a regular sandwich. Lol. I eat or that way anyway but I am annoyed about it. 😂

[@chelseathelen7712]

You are stinking amazing! Just found your channel and have been binge watching. You are such an inspiration and you’re doing a great job, Momma!

[@socialglitch2663]

Noah did a great job following directions :) Good work, Noah!

[@mamawbear2]

I love your channel. Its inspiring for me. My son Ben is 7 1/2 he also has autism with echololia. He is being bullied in school and it is affecting his learning. So I am going to homeschool for 3rd grade next year. I am so glad that your channel is here to help me try to figure everything out. And having someone to relate to is so comforting. I love your personality. Your real and that's awsome. Your family is beautiful. Hope your day gets less stressful. 😊

[@bonnierasmussen2837]

Love the cooking with Noah.

[@4Hendos]

Haha I couldn't help but yell yay! when Noah got the cheese on the bread. Hahaha. So helpful and great work.

[@wt0416]

I love what u did with Danielle by scaring her while on the phone. U are doing a great job complimenting Noah on his biiig huge accomishment. I'm soo proud of Noah. Way to go noah. Remember that when u are the stove, always have an adult supervise. And steph, even tho he's using technology a lot, changing is really really hard especially for him. Using a sticker reward system is good. And let's say if he gets two stickers in a row, reward him with something special that he likes. I heard that music makes autism calm down too. So maybe singing is a try. Thank u for reading our comments and u are such an amazing mom by juggling a lot. U get an sticker for that.

[@morgan8984]

You're doing your best for your son. I understand you so much. You are so inspiring. Praying for y'all and Noah! God bless.

[@Cls9288]

Your doing great! Please don't feel like you have to please anyone or any of us. It's about you doing what's best for your family, because only you could possibly know what that is! As mom's we always have to remind ourselves of things in the chaos! Keep it up, you seem to be doing more than managing. Your proactive and aware and that's important when you're a mom. Realizing when your doing your best and how to make things easier so can improve is also important. I see you doing it all and a bunch of happy kids! Love your blogs! 💜💜💜

[@jasmineadelaide1870]

i just recently found you guys! and i just love how real and supportive you guys are towards all your kids! thank you for educating me on what autism actually is!

[@jessicafaye2568]

I am so glad I found this channel!! KZbin needed a REAL mom!!!! Xoxo

[@ashleys8985]

your totally not a bad mom for doing what worked for you guys! we have the tv on all day every day, it works for us, it calms him and thats what matters to me. sometimes we have to pick and choose our battles! 💙💙💙 my son is about to be 3 and nonverbal im so glad i found your channel, i totally look up to you!

[@nleb1993]

Yay Noah! Also I really appreciate, how you ask him if you can film him. Its awesome how well you interact with him, you praise him when he does well and your so encouraging. I work with LD kids and so many of them don't get praise at home.

[@RoadRunner-yu8cu]

You're an amazing mom and you have a wonderful family. I'm so proud of Noah's ambitious attitude to learn and try new things. He's a remarkable young man and I can't wait to see how well he progresses in the future.

[@4themotherload]

We have had issues with our kids and i love what one doctor said to us - quality of life is better then pain - you do what you do and you know your kids - and from watching your videos and being a new subscriber your family is amazing and ignore that hate! Some people want to live on a pedelstool in a glass house and bark out hat - i say ignore.

[@kimberlysamuels2886]

Noah reminds me of my son dj he will be 9 this year and watching u and noah gives us hope thank you for having this channel we r so grateful to know we r not alone give all those sweet kiddos a hug for us

[@td6910]

Also great use of effective praise in this video! That is great for almost all kids and it’s not done enough. Parents think just saying “good job” in a monotone voice after doing something is enough and sometimes it might be, but when you get into replacing that with describing the specific behaviour you’re praising while doing so it really becomes redundant and ineffective. So glad I subscribed to this channel!

[@rebeccaperkins9638]

So proud of Noah! Yay! I don't know any mom that hasn't had a rough or bad day! I think you handle everything well. Stop being so hard on yourself. Sending you love from Ky!

[@td6910]

OK WHAT? THIS WAS AWESOME. I’m going to have to save this and show this to some of my caregivers who are terrified of even having them around the stove. Also can we all notice how she is sick and this huge breakthrough happened at the same time!? That’s what I really define as mom life haha and I don’t even have my own kids yet!

[@mommyslosingit]

Hope you feel better soon! It sucks being sick with kids!

[@danielaleksandr867]

He put the cheese right in the middle!!

[@emeraldm0on-yt]

Daniel Aleksandr oddly satisfying

[@chichirinuriko20]

6:57 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Your weird mommy."

[@AFunctionalMess]

my husband and I use to watch supernatural together all the time. I would say team Dean. I hope the rest of your spring break is a little easier. It's hard to limit screen time, honestly we don't in my household.

[@Chimu54567]

I love the bond you have with your daughter. so cute

[@Legal.Knievel]

😂😂😂 scaring Danielle was hilarious. I would've been so pissed if my parents did that to me but now as a parent I think it's hilarious.

[@TheWilders]

Feel better soon Stephanie. You are a great mom. Noah is such a sweet kid from what I see, you are doing a great job.

[@anastazjakrawczyk5813]

Team Castiel all the way! You are a great mother with a beautiful family!

[@caprisanzari1959]

You’re an amazing mom! Being a mom comes with many challenges and lots of them are challenges that we have to learn to overcome along the way. We gain new skills and knowledge and become better because of those challenges. You do amazing ❤️ We moms can be really hard on ourselves, but know that you do the best that you can. Your kids look very happy and well loved ❤️

[@lishaundadawson883]

Parenting is pretty challenging, I think at the end of the day, if everyone is ok and no one is injured and ok then that's what I called a successful day of parenting. It's real life some days are harder than others. My stepkids love the electronics too. Noah did a good job cooking and following instructions as well.

[@Legal.Knievel]

I rarely drink soda but if you guys wanna treat yourself and have a soda every once in a while, you can try Whole Foods brand soda, they're made with pure cane sugar and don't have dyes in them (the color comes from the cane sugar). We like to keep their ginger ale on hand because there is real ginger in it, unlike most ginger ales.

[@danabarmak5182]

I love how proactive Noah was during meal time. He kept trying and trying! I love how encouraging you were keep it up! I feel ya on the therapies not calling you back. I literally harrass them until I get what I need for my lil guy. Yeah, sometimes I feel my hair out over it but worth it. Keep your chin up 😊

[@Kayla-cy9xf]

seeing noah make that grilled cheese made me so proud he did better than i can most times! 😂 love your channel, you're doing amazing 💛 happy spring break guys !

[@janesilvestre924]

I am 13 and I think Noah is a really good chef

[@kaleighmatthews4031]

The way you handle Noah is great!!!

[@maryamiee27]

Great video. I’ve been having a hard day with my kids and took a break and watched your video! Made me smile! Danielle seems like such an awesome young women! And I love how proud of Noah you were! You are doing a great job mom!

[@13xclaudiax]

Also... I absolutely love how you encourage Noah in the things he does... 😀

[@megantridgell5931]

You are an amazing mum and you are so funny and Noah is so sweet. Love your videos they are brilliant xx

[@aumym]

when i was a child my parents let me be on the computer when i wanted as long as i did well in school etc etc. Sometimes it was a lifesaver, sometimes it didnt work, but im happy my parents let me do what i liked to do.

[@margaritajimerson5940]

Stephanie you are doing a great job as a mom. Be encouraged.

[@hazzaplayzz1523]

I saw u guys when I was watching Kevin Champan. I hit the red sub button area seconds ago. Nice vid!

[@lisettesoto505]

Recent found your family and fell in love! You’re a great mommy❤️

[@ljarmita1]

I so completely sympathize with you. My almost 9 year old son has autism and ADHD. It's mentally exhausting. He has cried or melted down all day today about everything. We have 2 girls who are 5 and 6 and neurotypical. They go to public school but I homeschool my son. Homeschooling is tough. I just realized you are in Florida too. If you don't have the Gardiner scholarship for homeschooling look into it. They are filling up every year and now have a wait list but it's so worth it. It's diagnosis based. So his autism would qualify him.

[@ljarmita1]

Our LANDing Crew I'm so glad! It really makes a difference! 😍

[@Kk-us9qi]

THIS is what kids with Autism should be learning! These life skills are so important. Good for you!

[@superlegodude800]

Just found your channel!, amazing family you guys are awesome!

[@haileydauzat5754]

I've loved the rain every since I was little I would either sit at the door or on the porch the whole time lol now I'm grown up and still do it

[@Belushi87]

good job, Noah. keep working on it and your be a chef in no time.

[@eileenmarie1652]

It was so empowering for me to be able to do a lot of life skills :) I have autism, and as a female, it was hard for them to diagnose me. Also recently started watching and I just love you all so much :)

[@ryliesplace6088]

You are an awesome mom. I love how sweet you are with Everybody. I love your channel💞

[@beckydirisu3192]

Recent subscriber! Loveee your videos, literally have binged watched most of the recent ones because I literally only found out about it a few days ago Beautiful family, Steph keep your spirits lifted, you absolutely rock and all your kids and family are living testimonies God bless you and your entire household ❤️❤️ Keep it up! :)

[@aspyni8384]

I wish I could be half the mother you are! Your such a super mom! I love you guys ❤️

[@EvadoCouto]

4:32 HAHAHAHAH you’re so fun I love you. I feel like you’re the perfect mom for each of your kids even though they’re all so different in their needs.

[@EvadoCouto]

Our LANDing Crew lmao! My payback for you making me cry over Noah and the cheese 😂❤️

[@danialyasin8569]

You’re doing great mom 👌🏻 an occupational therapist can also train your child for instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) such as meal preparation but you’re just basically train Noah through “occupation as end” method 🤩 btw Noah is so handsome 🥺

[@sarahbero2687]

You are a wonderful mom

[@kimberlyk3928]

I just subscribed to your channel! I'm excited!!

[@sammitchell1708]

Noah is doing so good I'm so proud of him! Also your such an amazing mom keep doing what your doing ❤️

[@brittem6183]

I feel you so much. Omg. I feel you. I have to let my son play games or watch TV to get ANYTHING done for myself or my other son. So that has been what settles him down. Any day he doesnt gp tp school is a spring break day for us. horIt's horrible. No routine equals nice for me but scary for lyric and he ends up controlling our entire day. Omg. I never knew people to do this.. just felt like one day, I need to film what it is that I go through.... I TRY to be a good mom. And with my oldest he just makes me feel like I fail at that. My youngest .. its light and day . . Ugh

You are so easy going I like your videos and lifestyle Thanks for sharing your life with us . 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nyecore]

No judgement here! I understand.... do what helps you get through. You are a great mom

[@NickyMarie83]

Congrats on your channels progress!! You deserve it!! x

[@TaylorKranes]

I completely understand the technology things. During the winter, my son was sick from December 15th until January 20th of this year. He played with his ipad all day long because if he ran around he would get more sick. I was also in the early stages of pregnancy so I just puked all day and couldn't properly take care of him. I noticed his behavior was horrible immediately. It took a month to get him back into the swing of things. I tell people they can just fuck off because it's not their kid, their life, their place to say anything. Can you maybe get a swing in your house to help calm him? ( I don't know if you have one). There are some cool ones at costco right now that have rope as the seat.

[@itselizabethlane6032]

Omg I just found your channel ! You are soooo sweet and beautiful and your children are precious !! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SoulfulSerenity-888]

The weather has been just been terrible everywhere I swear. Even up North here, we can't catch a break with the snow. Just praying spring will start soon. All the kids, keep getting junkie noses, and coughs. No good for a new baby to be around!

[@brittanyfull7595]

I have the same issues with electronics here too. We have to physically hide the tablet and iPad or my son will automatically grab it. I try to avoid giving it to him as long as possible, some days we make it to 8 pm others we only make it to 11 am lol. I try to avoid it during the weekdays because we have different therapies going on during the weekdays but some days are harder than others and he just is a mess and to avoid a meltdown he gets a tablet. We’ve tried to supplement with a leap pad during the day out in plain sight with educational things and no internet. Some days it works others its not good enough for him lol. Sometimes you just want to keep the peace

[@annabellescott8969]

a tip to try eliminating soda.. don’t have it around in the house. if it’s not in the house, they will think of it less, they probably will forget, and also it’s just a healthy thing

[@psalmchica]

Amazing family!!!

[@hailey9687]

Technology is very addictive, it’s a hard addiction to break. I have adhd and ptsd and I won’t lie I’m addicted to my phone and computer, I’m also trying to cut back on soft drinks/caffeine. I think you’re doing a great job with your given circumstances. I’ve been watching for about a month now and all your kids seem amazing. Also I have a younger brother who’s Noah’s age and he’s always playing roblox as well
