Nonverbal Arguing

[@patriciabruce4284]

Abbie’s communication was on point today. Very definite about what she did not want.💕

[@jakealvin7049]

you prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@pierceedwin5273]

@Jake Alvin instablaster :)

[@lauraharmon2721]

That was some hard passing on the apple plan and the seatbelt lol .. but also you could tell she knew what she was doing. So much growth recently

[@lifeonlowbatteries8153]

I just had cereal for an afternoon snack. It can be done. 😂

[@stephpartin3939]

Cereal is my go-to snack, but I get it that some parents don’t want such sugary things for snacks!

[@2l2q36]

Well not for Abby. Her parents watch her sugar intake during the day so it doesn’t interfere with bedtime.

[@reganstandlick7520]

What does the membership perks do?

[@sherrysvesnik7711]

Abbey clearly said no to Priscilla when she told her to buckle her seat belt. And when she pushed the apple bag back toward the fridge with a no head shake, I just giggled with joy!! She is clearly getting her point across!! Loved this video. Also Asa , I really like that cool camera!!

[@roxannemccue6509]

Oh my gosh that was AMAZING communication when she wanted the cereal! You go girl💕

[@lillybell2008]

Sometimes you just don’t want an apple 🍎

[@amaaanster]

LOL she said ‘nope, put those apples back’ 😂😂😂

[@marirenderos5829]

😂😂

[@Baachoo143]

That " look" when she told you no for the third (4th) time. I could almost hear her sassiness... what don't u understand about no apple! I want cereal. She was definitely understanding. Such abbitude today!

[@Dovejep]

Abbitude today for sure! lol

[@2l2q36]

I think she’s always understood.

[@kat2441]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks cereal is snack. I’m with you Abbie!

[@elizabeii]

Abbie’s like “I said what I said”. 😂

[@fabulousrulz]

Abbie was like DID I STUTTER..? ahahah this girl knows what she wants!

[@mirandalustig921]

Her looking at Cilla thinking she can get her to give in. Lol

[@mrs.hollerbredkennels-jana7891]

I love how excited she gets! She is just precious!

[@camarojai6832]

Abbie has been rocking it out in communication. She’s been so happy in these last videos, our ray of sunshine. Thanks for explaining that camera, I thought I was going crazy lol

[@hannahJR]

Abbies use of the Ipad amazes me every time. Asa moving it to a different page and she moves it straight back to cereal seriously impressive. But she really didn't want those apples!!

[@marirenderos5829]

Lol right! She wanted her cereal 😂

[@letsbereal906]

“I heard your complaints I will not do the crazy fish eye thing” 🤣🤣🤣

[@BeatriceHooper]

I love how when Abbie walked down the steps to the living room she looked at Isaiah as if to say “I know you’re not in my spot right now..🤨”

[@tiffiebundy6497]

Abbie is so beautiful! I mean she has always been a beautiful little girl but as she is growing up into a young woman, she is so absolutely beautiful that I find myself being so thankful that she does have such a caring and observing family to protect her.

[@lizmorris260]

Abby’s communication and cognition seemed to be on fire. Her pure joy of the return to school, and her defiance (buckle issue) with Cilla was inspiring! Thanks for the explanation

[@manic8213]

I've been in a bubble of anxiety and depression lately and haven't seen your videos in forever. Glad I decided to lay in bed and binge! You guys definitely lift me up a bit

[@fatheringautism]

Hope you feel better!

[@manic8213]

Oh wow... thank you so much. I'm on the spectrum myself and love you guys so much. I've been in therapy and such and I do feel a bit better. Your family and your videos help alot when I can't sleep or think straight , love y'all!

[@RainPariss]

Wait Priscilla is looking flipping incredible!! Like holy sheeeesh!! I saw all the peloton vids and I mean whatever your doing is working fab for you girl!! Gorgeous!! Love you guys!!

[@vikky1376]

Priscilla... You need to ask Sandy where your flip flops are

[@533134]

@Gold Glitter not all Americans do.

[@savidge-gardner5583]

Love love love watching abby communicate so well! She truly knew what she wanted all day. O how much she grows each and every day ❤️

[@diaryofaplantkiller]

This girl makes me so happy! When she put her lunch dishes in the sink I wanted to "YYEEEEEESSSSSS"!!! Way to go. Also, I am a cereal snacker. I go to the DT and get that dollar bag of name brand cereal to munch on. If cereal were only for breakfast at my house I would die. lol. Thanks for the happy, Abby.

[@darijonnson6246]

When asa was like do you want an apple? And she went all the way back and said cereal again. I lost it😂😂 the girl didn’t want an apple😂

[@lucillecohon2520]

Abbie being a typical teenager! She doesn't say anything, but she doesn't need to! Abbitude!

[@lolablueskies8269]

Her little strop with the seat belt. Bless her 💞

[@KailynsJoy]

That 360 is so cool!!! Thanks for explaining. My mind is still blown 🤯 No complaints! It worked really well for all the action and scenery! I loved it but my logic derailed when I didn't see a pole!

[@littlemissy1669]

I'm very happy she has y'all and her family 😊

[@blaw_0147]

I really love her persistence, it’s makes me laugh 😂♥️

[@colleenkelly4215]

Haha her face when you opened the fridge. 😂😂 She was like “no dad, cereal.”

[@RoseMiah9191]

Respect to the family and all their love and support. It must be exhausting... i‘d prolly lose it from time to time...

[@suegoulding1341]

I think you're doing great with Abbey. I started watching your channel to see what the fuss is about after hearing negative comments. Actually you're real and you have her future to think about. She's happy and that's the main thing. She's a very gentle girl. Wish other parents with special needs children are attentive as you. Love the way you involve your pets.

[@Darkbunny456]

I've missed the students in my school as well, we started back this week with a bubble of kids doing full-time as they are children of keyworker and vulnerable children. This week we will have 2 part-time bubbles starting on both sites (one doing Mon, Tues and one doing Thurs, Fri) Not all of the students in my class are back till this week as one is in another bubble and two have decided not to come back yet. I work in a school as a Learning Support Assistant for children with Cerebral Palsy and other motor disorders.

[@Natalie_1510]

Great vlog 👍 can I ask what make/model is your 360 camera? Really want to purchase one thanks 😊

[@autismfambam771]

Oh sweet abbie love seeing you get things done

[@carriebowlen3785]

I love you so much!! Thanks for sharing your lifes with all of us. How is everyone? Thanks for always spreading kindness and love to all of us in our communities!!

[@ellieeargle]

So sassy!!! Loll love her 😭😂

[@paulamoreau1948]

I wondered about what was up with the camera shots. I can't watch it because I have epilepsy and it was messing with me. Love you guys.

[@amandap7678]

They’re “Untidy Joseph’s”. 😉

[@weir_family]

Why can’t she have cereal? Why ask her if you are just going to give her what you want? It’s probably frustrating and confusing to her. Just present what you want to give her and I bet she is fine. Seems like she is disappointed the other way. Not trying to judge or be mean, I am honestly curious about the logic. Thank you!

[@fatheringautism]

Because we are teaching her communication every minute of every day. There are yes and no answers to requests in the real world. She is first taught that using her communication device is how she get what she wants. Then we have to teach her that you don’t get everything you ask for and “no” is an ok answer to a request. If yes was always the answer imagine the results of not getting what you want when you’ve always been told no. As far as the cereal...it’s basically nothing but sugar including the milk and it causes her to be even hungrier later as she burns through it quickly. We have also reduced her dairy intake because it affects the absorption of her medication and we end up with sleepless nights thus rough days.

[@fatheringautism]

@@shanonvasquez2035 Her drink is caffeine free and she gets one pump of caramel. Autistic persons that have commented on the coffee topic have actually reported that caffeine helps them to calm. Many times stimulants have an opposite reaction for some people.

[@maddie0619]

She’s like mom I just want a doughnut 🍩 from Dunkin.

[@jamiewarn8024]

As a vertigo sufferer thank you for no more weird camera shots

[@sidewinderz7695]

Just a question @fatheringautism1 I've been curious about this for a while. How does abbie react to sugar/caffeine? Does it make her hyper, emotional or even relaxed? Just curious

[@notme7410]

😂 It’s a teenager thing.. cereal for every meal.

[@letsbereal906]

Abbie you are KILLING it with those communications- your voice is heard girl !🤍

[@diyandmorewithsam2278]

Awww when she got home from school and seen dad 💕 💕

[@susanharris1285]

Abbie understood you she was just in her feelings today Teenager!!!! Love you girl

[@InMyHonestOpinion1]

“I mean it can get really weird” (and it gets *really* weird). That’s a clip to make and keep!

[@ariellebachrach4796]

Love your videos!! Love her!

[@louiswasik9370]

Thank you so much on the explanation of the new camera. I really thought a small drone was following you around...lol..all the best to you and your family and thank you for the videos. Very helpful on understanding special needs people.

[@lindsaysheffield]

Do you know what camera is that he's using? Looking at getting one myself...

[@williaroberts2945]

Thank you for explaining the camera thing and I couldn’t figure out who was holding the camera LOL

[@helenfranceswilliams5973]

I wonder how it is you can love someone you've never met?? It's TRUE I love your family(including Summer) so much that if you messaged me me saying "hey I really need your help with this...I'd be there in a heartbeat!❤ I've been watching from the beginning and watching Abbie and Isaiah grow up its like I feel like part of the family!! Thanks for all you do and thanks for some of your tips to make me a better caregiver for my mama!!! All of you are so special in your own way!!! Much love from wintersville Ohio!!!

[@kzngirl1]

I love how much Abbie is communicating . You go girl.

[@williamprice7948]

I used to argue with my parents growing up my mom spent half of my life getting me to talk and spent the other half to not get me to talk back

[@mallorygibbons4975]

That's cute. I like that.

[@tracyhiggins8981]

My first thought when I heard Cilla say she can't find the left flip flops....Sandy has them!!😁😆💙

[@ygw.bullwrom2707]

Our schools r closed rt now. Missing out on aba therapy and speech therapy 😥 but we r still trying to learn at home. Luv our non verbal agreements. They r the best parts of our day sometimes lol

[@dawnbailowich8476]

[@hackenshmitable]

I enjoy the action shots and the change in filming style and photography. Go crazy Acer.

[@xXEdgeKnowlXx]

Love that camera and software program. I think that is a great idea for getting great shots that look drone like!

[@Tamellax]

can we have the link for the 360 camera, I've looked in the Amazon Files you have linked and I can't seem to find it, Thank you

[@oakdew]

Thanks for the camera explanation and for responding to those of us who get dizzy while watching that. Sorry.

[@Mel-ij3hq]

i love the fisheye thingy cause it shows your creativity and enthusiasm with your videos, i guess you could always put little warnings before you do them and a time to skip to for people with motion sickness! if you enjoy it you should keep going!!

[@autismfambam771]

Yes i feel you when you get to bed late and we are the first once up when the kiddos get up early

[@ninablum4875]

[@roshondabowens9809]

Hey Abbie and family,are y'all ready for the weekend, hope y'all are having a wonderful thursday and stay safe out there ❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗

[@1-2bucklemyshoe35]

What communication software are you using? I love how you can play back what she has said during the day to get an idea of how often she is communicating her needs.

[@kittenanime9921]

This is so wholesome. I love your videos.

[@Its.vape.zebra24.7]

I love your channel! Abbie is awesome with her communication device. And little stinker with the seatbelt. Haha. You as a family are amazing.

[@Andy27900]

Loved the Vlog well done on Communication Abbie! I do have a question did Abbie want cereal as a snack because its 'crunchy' re texture maybe, or did she want Cereal as a snack

[@Leslie_ann_h]

Cereal can totally be a snack. Sometimes it's the best one.

[@mandalee1980]

Leslie Hyde. Abbie parents only want her eating one bowl a day because the ones she likes are high in sugar and they have started trying to cut her sugar intake.

[@addanner84]

Nothing usually bothers me on this channel ever but what's so bad about cereal for a snack? Worried she won't want it for breakfast tomorrow? Why give her the option and then turn it down like she asked for dessert or a chocolate bar...or dunkin. I would be frustrated too if I were Abby about that. She repeatedly asked for it. What's the harm? Worried it will ruin her appetite? Give her a smaller portion. But knowing her appetite, nothing will ruin it lol

[@alinaporter3846]

It’s about the sugar intake. If she has a bowl in the AM then she can’t have it for a snack. They have been working on limiting her sugar sense the old house. For Ab sugar and ice cream later in the day effects her sleeping. They have also cut back on donuts...only twice a week. You also have to remember that throughout her day she works for “edible for re-enforcers”...a lot of the time that is candy because it is highly re-enforcing for her. 😊 Children on the spectrum are either too picky and never eat OR they eat anything and everything and are NEVER full. By this default they are more susceptible to health issues such a diabetes and obesity OR malnutrition depending on the child’s habits.

[@livewiiiiire]

She does have cereal for snack sometimes (like dry cheerios) but her usual cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch, which has a ton of sugar and they try to encourage her to have healthier snacks (since they have to bribe her with cookies and doughnuts so much)

[@LaurenHorowitz]

What 360 camera are you using I want to start filming thanks Asa!

[@karlysaeks7718]

I really enjoy watching your vlogs and your family

[@carriecarr9796]

Thank you so much for showing that cool camera 360 gadget thing!! I was wondering how you got those cool shots! Can you show more of your cool camera gadgets? I would love to start vlogging with my family and my youngest has severe autism also😀🧩

[@char25900]

If you ask her what she would like for a snack then listen to her answer. If you are going to decide for her anyway then just put the food in front of her. She must feel so frustrated and unheard.

[@fatheringautism]

When children learn to communicate do you do everything they say and give them everything they request? Of course not. As parents we teach all children that “no” needs to be an acceptable answer, that compromise is necessary in basic human interaction, and that we don’t get everything we ask for.

[@dikoehler4255]

Sometimes the struggles are real when you try to negotiate with someone non verbal. I have to walk away sometimes so they don't see me laugh at times. But I give them 10/10 for communication! 🧩😷💕

[@catherinek8903]

I can relate to Abbie wanting to put the ice pack in the cabinets. It’s one of those “wait what was I doing again?” moments 😂

[@PotatoQueen1989]

Abbie's communication was amazing ♥

[@Roxysyoutubechannel]

Where can I buy that camera

[@connieheitz8982]

Ahhh Abby was so excited. I smiled all the way through the vlog with her. Her excitement her antics. And she sure didn't want that Apple. I thought it was funny when she put it back in the fridge. 😂😂😂😂😂
