She Won't Come Out Of Her Sensory Room!

We made her room nice and comfortable to give her a break from the sensory input of the outside world. Now she won't come out of her room! I guess it's good news that we figured out what she needed for her sensory room. Now we just have to find ways to keep her active and motivated so we don't have to deny her access to her room.

Aww she’s just being a regular teenager who likes to stay in her room and wants some privacy.I love the way Abbie came out of her room when she heard the music and grabbed it.

[@wt0416]

Abbie is such a comidean. Loved when she just came out of the room, when u guys said lets clean, then went back in her room, loved when she just came out of the room when the pop song came, grabbed it, then went back. Maybe all the house room should be sensory so she could come out more easily.

[@alexamartino1773]

When you said if she were typical you would take the phone away it got me in the heart...

[@amandap5205]

Every time Abbie starts signing like a boss I think back to that notorious comment about not having desire to communicate. Keep proving them wrong girl!

[@PeacefulAutistic]

Abby is SO ME! "hey let's clean" "no thanks"

[@EdenthelRei]

May I suggest the possibility Abbie might enjoy learning signs by watching music with signing videos? I'm autistic and verbal but I enjoy the stim of sign language singing and want to learn to sign. I wonder if singing along might be a huge motivator for Abbie? Music is life lol

Oh Asa, how do you not give in to Abby when that adorable dimple appears?? Had it been me....she would have been eating that Chinese for sure!! lol

[@krystaldispatchbetttymcgin7702]

Sharon Bill it's hard but you have to set boundaries with ASD children. My daughter is 15 and she is high functioning now but not so much when she was younger. Autism kids CAN BE taught but you have to be firm and consistent. Even kids with severe autism like Abby know how to push boundaries. They aren't stupid. If dad says they are having one thing and she demands something else and he gives in, it makes it that much harder to reinforce boundaries and that's what leads to tantrums and meltdowns. Dad did the right thing.

[@Pinkraider]

Abbie is so much like my 13 year old daughter. She runs to her room as well when she hears the word “clean.” Lol

[@MrsGrumbles_]

I've been watching your channel for quite a long time now. I enjoy every video you create. However, this video is one of my favorites. It was hysterical...especially how you went about luring Abbie out of her room. 😂 And there was great closeup footage of Abbie when you were telling her that pizza was for dinner. She had such great eye contact with you. You could see her thinking about every word you said, and more importantly, understanding every word (even though she clearly did not want to wait for the pizza to be ready). It warms my heart immensely with how well Abbie is doing in life. That's the sign of great parenting. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

[@pagemayrand7671]

the lights flashing... you may not SEE them flashing in real life but they are in fact flashing, so fast that most of us can't see it. but some people do see it and it can be a major sensory issue and cause anxiety and mental exhaustion... so keep an eye on that. (it's the same with halogen lighting at Wal-Mart and places like that... for some people it bothers them even though they can't actually see the flickering

Newer viewer. Wonderful that you choose to spend a great deal of quality time with both children. Obviously there is a lot of love in your home. Since I am new to your channel, I know nothing about your family story. Given the amount of time you to devote to your children in the daytime, do you have flexible work hours or perhaps small business owners? I can’t imagine how exhausting your days must be.

I learn something else from these videos as well. You guys have such a clean home, and seem highly conscientious or just organized. I'm not sure if that is linked to personality or what it is, but I got motivated to do some cleaning myself, and maybe revise my habits.
