Leaving Home

[@megcoles6390]

When Priscilla plugged her phone in and Alexander Hamilton started playing... I relate to that so much!!! 😂

[@VivMLee22]

Same!!!

[@Zer0grqvitii]

MEEE!! ♡

[@JessicaSmith-oe1up]

Same! When Asa said why are we playing Hamilton, I wanted to say “why aren’t we always playing Hamilton?!” I love Hamilton!

[@Pslams61]

I started singing 🤣😂🤣 I'm at work and my coworker looked at me like I'm crazy. I am crazy...so not the point but still 🤣😂

"Everyone on the autism spectrum is different." Preach it. People need to understand this!

[@wattolass]

Indeed they do even I know that come on even neurotypical people are different. We are all different after all it's what makes the people we are and it shapes us as individuals.

[@Savannah_315]

Abbie standing next to Summer while she played piano was the cutest thing!

[@LoreEclectic]

Trying to mentally prepare myself for Priscilla crying cuz she always gets me

[@caitienolop4732]

Laura Francis SAAAAME! And I am NOT a cryer usually lol but these guys just get me sometimes! Plus we’ve all watched him grow up! Lol

[@alyssaedwards3985]

I absolutely love that while Abbie is nervous in new places, she always seems willing to try new things with some mom and dad support.

[@AddiTrials]

I’m a lot like Abbie when it comes to sensory touching and closeness with others, I don’t mind hugs, I cling when I’m scared or I’m not sure of my surroundings, and when I’m emotional I get extremely clingy. I love to sit and hold hands with my husband, for comfort and closeness. You are right, the spectrum is made of many differences.

[@MomLuvs2Collect]

I love Abbie of course but Isaiah is great, he was so funny doing his dances loved it!

[@lifeonlowbatteries8153]

I hope you’re having a great trip! Enjoy your last couple of days with Isaiah. I love all of you and will miss Isaiah in the vlogs.

[@juliacomstock7024]

I’m so sad Isaiah is leaving I’m gonna miss seeing him in the vlogs

[@kellystanley5892]

I can't believe he's ready for college. We are all going to miss him on the vlogg. Have a great trip everyone

[@lindakelly607]

Abbie is so sweet. My daughter is 15 and she has additional needs and doesn’t like change. It takes her awhile to get used to new things ❤️💙

[@wattolass]

I have asd myself change is definitely a source of anxiety for me.

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

WHATS the worse that can happen ? She can get into a box of nature valley bars. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious. That just cracked me up ! 👍♥️👍🤣

[@jessemorris2787]

The little town that Isaiah is moving to is so cute i love it down there

[@PixelTheExtraTerrestrial]

Asa because of you and Priscilla me and my boyfriend started a podcast because I have autisum and it's the best outlet ever I get to discuss struggles and triumphs

[@kellyr573]

I just love what ur family represents...u r wonderful parents and so real and just inspiring. I have no person on the spectrum in my life, but I learn so much about parenting my 9 & 14 yr old from the way u guys raise ur children. Bless u al

[@cindysemblante4411]

My heart goes out to ya all. Kida leaving for college is bitter sweet. Pride and sadness all wrapped up together. Youll miss him more then I can describe but there are always school breaks. Youve done a goid job with your son. Hes responsible and hes gonna do great!

[@magnoliab928]

You can always judge the kindness of a family by how they treat their animals, who have no voice. You guys take great care of them and love them and they return the love and gratitude for being rescued. I can see sadness in Isaiah’s eyes as he’s holding his cat. Please be assured Isaiah she will be waiting for you and will see you soon.

[@jayk1331]

Issiahs so blessed to have you guys. My mom helped me move out to college last year and suddenly stopped talking me to me haven't spoken to her since I moved out. Not all parents are amazing,so for those of you who have parents you can rely on your truly blessed.

[@christinatorres8986]

I wish you the best Issah with college. Were sure going to miss you on the vlogs. Sending all the love to all.

[@shannonwelsh5830]

Wishing Isaiah the best of luck in this new chapter of life! We'll miss you, but we know your out there to change the world! ❤

[@robbindean5807]

Aww love you guys! Isaiah, have the time of your life! You deserve it. These will be four of the best years of your journey!

[@101brintnell]

The part with just Percilla and Issa driving has been my fav vlog so far. it was nice to see them spending time on the camera as a couple and not just your many roles you have had to take on over the years ...always authentic maass family!!

[@karlysaeks7718]

I really enjoy watching your vlogs

[@cbedunnnella3681]

Best of luck & best wishes Isaiah! Really gonna miss you on the vlogs! Enjoy college! Have fun! Stay safe! Much love!

[@1973moondragon]

Y'all have a safe trip and I hope you thrive in college Isaiah.. whos cutting onions?

[@sueellennakamura6011]

Abbie did a great job with mom and dads support navigating all those little and big steps. That was interesting about the bathroom being a safe haven. I laughed along with you when Isaiah was dancing to Summer’s piano playing. Love this family ❤️

[@mightymouse6057]

We are going to miss you Isaiah! Best of luck and great wishes for college! Enjoy it and love it up!!

[@briannaburton7933]

I put off watching this video because i knew all the feels would hit me. Makes me think of when my older sister went off to college i wasn't able to go along on her adventure so thank you for sharing yours!

[@justadventure6684]

Y’all just make me smile so big every time I watch. I love your fam bam so much! Please keep doin what you do please and thank you 😊 Have a very blessed day 🤍

[@tammiemiller5347]

Oh Isaiah you have so much to look forward to with this new adventure. Abbie is an absolutely amazing young lady. You all be safe.

[@mallorygibbons4975]

When summer was playing the piano n Isaiah was dancing. Hysterical. That's awesome Isaiah plays piano. He is so sweet,talented yet still a "cool" kid as well.

[@TheWtc60]

Isaiah, I cant believe you are in college already. I wish you luck . I know its a big change for everyone. i love yalls video's. Abby, leaning new stuff everyday. I'm so proud of you Abby.

[@caitienolop4732]

That floor is chaos even for me. The boards going different directions and the stairs being a solid color is too much! Lol beautiful place tho!!! Truly amazing.... aside from the floor 😂 I totally see what you mean on this one Abbie!!

[@bettieseaton1686]

Loved the nay nay. Isaiah is a hoot!

[@bonnierecchia4863]

I love how u addressed about how Abbie likes being touched but not all people who have autism do. Anyone I have known before finding your channel would always pull away or have a meltdown if they were to b touched. I personally don’t have anyone (that Ik in my family with it) Ik with it but I love getting the education behind every medical condition I can 1. Cause of my previous medical/CNA background 2. Cause I always brought my 2 boys up to never stare or judged a person try to understand and care for people who r different (which happy to say both my boys will stick up for anyone who gets picked on) 3. So I can understand each condition so if I ever come into contact with a person with that condition whether just in passing or if they need help I can better understand how to interact. So TY SO MUCH for all the educational info I have received from your family. I truly love u all!!

[@catloverKD]

That house is a nightmare for someone with bad or no depth perception.

[@TheCollectorsSin]

Those steps, I'd die lol

[@sarahstorr]

Yes. I get why those stairs could be a problem.

[@hsbvt]

@@TheCollectorsSin Just watching the stairs I couldn't focus on the steps illusion wise it was all one floor. Cool concept for the house though!! HAHA!

[@alexismae6885]

honestly, i agree!

[@alexismae6885]

Jessa Winters me too!

[@brittanygordon8784]

Isaiah dancing to the piano was everything!!! The backing it up, naynay head/hair swing had me in stiches!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Balwee32]

Also.. I’m just want to say, I hope the ridiculous allegations about (mostly Summer and Isaiah) don’t ever make them want to shy away from the camera.. I hope Summer continues to love Abbie as her best friend and Isaiah shows his humor on camera. I know Asa and Cilla have been through it before and know how to let it roll off their backs. Just wanted to put in my two cents. Enjoy your last few days with the boy before the rest of you head home 💚💙

[@rainyday243]

I love you guys sensitivity to Abbie needs and feelings. Summer that is all I Can play to. You are such a lovely family. I so enjoy spending part of your day with you.💓

[@teresamariner4238]

Rainy Day, did Auto correct just hit you? Think you meant sensitivity, not insensitivity. It always irks me when I use the correct word and spell the word correctly and then auto correct changes it for something that makes no sense at all!!

[@rainyday243]

@@teresamariner4238 oops so sorry. Fixed it!

[@tracijones7611]

Isaiah dancing while summer was playing was priceless 😂🤣🤣. Loved it

[@hollymcknight8581]

Heart and soul, Billy Joel, what more do you need? Awesome music choices. That air bed and breakfast sounds like a really neat place. Isaiah, have a wonderful time at college.

[@TheCollectorsSin]

I have no sensory processing disorders and I would 100% fall down those steps every time

[@teresamariner4238]

Me, too! I'd break my fool neck!!

[@caroljulian6505]

Me too I’m a klutz. My dad used to say I was an accident looking to happen. Between 18 months and three years old I was either in the hospital or doctors office 18 Hines. Now that I’m 58 I’m still a klutz I just burnt my hand for a second time in less than a month and it was the same hand that I put in at the age of three that I had to have skin grafting on. At least I keep burning the same hand LOL

[@kristan6103]

He’s not even my kid .. and even I Cried! Gonna miss him in the videos. You guys should be proud... raised an amazing kid❤️

[@tlk9848]

Love your family and the daily vlogs

[@lukharmom]

I love how you walked Abbie through to make sure she felt safe. She is so loved.

[@h3i]

Y’all FaceTiming in the parking lot whilst having the picnic is adorable. I hope this past week has been wonderful, no words for the admiration for the way you’re handling the needless drama all whilst going through such precious moments a family, still being you, coming together, being kind, a family, and even going so far as apologising to your viewers. Wonderful humans.

[@rebeccahowat-akacrazyautis7439]

Awesome way to send Isaiah off. So fun and cozy. Great place to stay!

[@morgan_williams]

You guys, in light of the BS you’ve had going on, I just want to share why I watch your videos...I knew nothing about autism before I started watching, and I still have no real “need” to know, like I have no one in my life living with autism, but I always feel really inspired by the type of parents and advocates you are. Being a parent, I think, is the most important job you can have, and I think you guys do it really well, and under some really difficult circumstances sometimes. I just appreciate watching you love your kids.

[@suziemarie8836]

I was thinking. If you and Cilla designed your own house. It would be amazing to see how you guys would design it to support what Abbie needs. I think it would be awesome!

[@MultiFirebunny]

ooh that would be soo cool to see what they think of as necessary for Abbie they I wouldn't even think of

[@katieg6082]

I teared up so many times during this vlog. I am so happy that Isaiah gets this new chapter in his life. But he will be missed on the vlog. Especially during your kitchen chats. Asa, I agree with you. White cheddar cheez-its are the best!!

[@sicknote4557]

Glad you all had a safe drive. I hope you have some family adventures before you drop Isiah off at uni. Watching the last few days of you getting everything together for uni, has brought back great memories to me of when I was getting ready to go away to Uni in Liverpool. I kinda understand Abbies struggle. But I’m the opposite to her as I’m an adult with ASD. I also have SPD. But unlike Abb I hate most forms of physical contact with other people.(hugs, holding hands etc) according to my parents I’ve never been a “huggy kinda person” Sending you all loads of AUsome love from me over here in England. 💜💪🏻🧩💙

[@maddie4712]

I have been catching up on videos (I like to binge your videos haha). And I have been so mad about all the hate you guys have been getting from 2020 to now....and this video, watching yall walk Abbie through the house and be so in tune with her every need was amazing. I don't know how anyone could ever accuse you of anything but loving your daughter. When she was scared, she clung to Asa and Cilla...she didn't try to get away from them. They are her security. It's a psychology thing. If you're being abused or harmed by someone, you arent going to run to them for security when you are anxious or scared. Abbie CLEARLY sees her parents as her security blanket and clings to them when she needs them most 💜

[@chrisderouchey1491]

Ok whew! No crying yet! The piano playing and Isaiah dancing! 😂🤣😂🤣

We only have one child. He is now 35 and he still has his bedroom with most of his things. He is single and lives in Palo Alto, Ca and he lives in a studio apt. He’ll always have his bedroom even if he gets married and has 5 kids 😂 it will always be his home!

Weight No More 4 Darla. I am M 50 some years old and I have lived with my parents most of my life. I have called her parents and when I was about ready to move out they start having health problems. And I think the Lord knew I need to stay home to take care of them my dad ended up with that heart problems and my mom and her cancer. And I have never regret I neither did them. I did have help with them when my sister moved back to town. But she also had a family of her own

[@suzannerobinson1208]

Our son too.

[@FondaLynn]

Carol Julian that was a great sacrifice on your part and I commend you for being so selfless. It is so very hard being a caretaker and I hope you remembered to take care of yourself too. I cared for my mother while she was still able to live alone after the passing of my father, but then she had to move in with me and my husband in 2015 where she passed Approx two months later. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of her passing. Life is never the same 😢 I hope you’re taking time for yourself now and trying to enjoy life through this pandemic mess! Take care 🌷

I didnt even think how the floor pattern could be an issue for abby.

[@cheyennehalliger1164]

Same, it’s so interesting to me how little things can bother some people. I need to research more about Autism.

[@KC-zn1mg]

Cheyenne Halliger It’s not just autism. She has sensory processing disorder as well.

[@caroljulian6505]

Daniel Thurber Every autism child is different. What is difficult for one child it’s not difficult for another. And that floorplan if you look at their older videos it’s not too much different than the one she had before they moved there. She just like area that she can run laps in and she has two at this house where she only had one of the other.

[@T.D.8]

My daughter has rhe floor pattern and floor transition issues as well. I actually use bright red masking tape along my steps, so when my daughter looks down the steps, there is the contrast of the bright red tape right at the edge to help show where the step ends. It's depth perception, sensory related, and stuff. You have a sense called proprioception that deals with knowing where your body is in space... it can be a struggle with sensory processing disorder.

[@T.D.8]

@@caroljulian6505 the issue is not with the floor plan (as in where rooms are in relation to others). It's with the patterns on the floor. Where tile transitions to wood plank, more what the floor looks like than how the rooms are laid out.
