Hiii! Saw you guys random off this channel called "special books by special kids" and im sure you've heard this before, but i just couldn't help myself either! What a beautiful, gorgeous, positive and amazing family. Gabe is sooooo lucky to have 2 angels to raise him. You restore my faith and what a gift to share with us
Thank you so much!
Same😊💗
Wow, I do believe this is the first time I've seen Gabe smile. He has a wonderful smile
ya autistic people aren't allowed to smile is why! But that doesn't mean that they can't but not frequently like most guys his age, though!
Good job Gabe. I hope you enjoyed the activity. Gabe is so wonderful. He seems to be interstwd in trying everything.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I work a retail job on the weekend. A customer provocatively mentioned that her 3 year old has autism. I then responded with how much I am have learned about autism from youtube channels, especially yours about non verbal autism. The customer then went on to say that her child is also non verbal.
It was such a humbling moment, knowing how the journey for each child is an unknown. I thanked her for being there for her son and she thanked me for thanking her! oh my gosh, I was near tears.
I know there are people who struggle, or who don't even want to try and understand an experience from a view point other than theirs.
This channel has opened my eyes to a side of parenting that I had no clue about, and I so blessed that I have the opportunity to grow and learn and be a better person.
Fantastic looks like a great time!!! ❤️❤️💜💜
I live in the Piedmont region of N C. I love the two hours drive up to Asheville for a couple days of exploring and dining out.
Thank you for your channel! We are a two mom family with a 6.5 year old autistic son with apraxia, so I really feel like your channel is a crystal ball into our future. I see a lot of similarities with our sons!
I love you all so much, such an amazing family, and i hope gabe has a beautiful bright future ahead of him. From the bottom of my heart.
Absolutely Amazing. I have totally enjoyed Gabes growth. Following his journey has been amazing. I absolutely love how the whole family has grown.
I myself am on the spectrum.. but have also worked with many .. family and child alike. Gabes growth has been incredible, but I have only one issue.. Gabe wants so badly to start talking.. I can help with that.. but is only held back by a family that believes he will never talk.. therefore he sees no point. I have worked with these families for many years and have successfully help 2 teenagers to become verbal. You may think only 2? But helping non verbal autistic boys to verbalise at all is a miracle.
I do believe though that Gabe is ready and I promise that we can succeed together.
Looks like fun. Gabe looked mildly interested. I bet if he did it a few times ,he would get into it. New things take time.
I just saw your channel and I want to thank you for all you do in showing that autism doesn’t make them different at all. I have a best friend that has it and we’re closer than ever. I know Gabe has more potential than any of us
Watching everyone having fun is great looks like mom enjoyed it too 👍
You are such a good mama! Keep up the good work 💕
That looks like so much fun ❤
👍 Great workshop and see a pottery workshop too 👍👍💋💋💋
That's awesome! 😊
Outstanding ❤️
Gabe is such a super star for trying out so much stuff, staying with you, travelling in the car, sitting in noisy busy places, every time I see a video it give me hope that I will eventually find something outside the house that my son will enjoy 🥰
for the past few months I have been unemployed struggling with different mental things. that’s not the point though. i recently got back into watching sbsk and learning about amazing people like Gabe and others have made me realize I want to work specifically with nonverbal teens. I have felt lost and like a failure for a long time not knowing where I was going in life and I haven’t told my family yet but thank you for sharing more insight into your lives with Gabe and thank you for giving me the goal I needed to continue living❤️
Blessed to have Gabe
You guys Rock.
Get it Rocks ?...OK I'll show myself out
Great activity
🇲🇽✋
He looks tall. Reminds a bit of Barron Trump
I have done this before ! It’s really fun. 🙂
❤😊
Have a nice time Gabe...
❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was on the dacen floor prom❤
Que lindo
Once again the hard-working man left digging in the dirt. :)
Aw...we live near Asheville. We recently took our kids, including our nonverbal autistic son, to the Renaissance Art Experience at Biltmore, and it was a phenomenal experience for our sensory seeker!
I would have loved to do that with Gabe!
Bro is handsome
Interesting
You’re cute!
Bom dia p vc
I have been to that store, I have family that live in that city
I get that maybe you're trying to stop the stigma about autism. But I can't help but think how much you're exploiting your son who can't say he is or isn't okay with this. I mean you obviously know him more but this is exploitation.
wtf are you on about?
If you can't see the exploitation of this child for youtube fame then I don't know what to tell you.
@@michaelvitale7041 filming some videos of his experiences is “exploiting him”?? it’s not like they are shoving the camera in his face in every moment of his life, forcing him to be recorded (like many family vlog channels do). I really don’t think he minds being recorded.. but it this is what you call “exploitation”, then okay.
@@Jake07NL one can be recorded without having to make a youtube channel about it and make the titles all about their son's disorder. I recommend googling "exploitation of mentally handicapped children in youtube". Exploitation isn't so black and white. He can't speak or advocate for himself in regards to whether or not he even wants a youtube channel dedicated to him. If he could then that'd be a completely different story. But he has no say in the matter.
@@michaelvitale7041 He’s nonverbäl..
