Teenager Learning Her Name - Nonverbal Autism Communication Deficit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- A teenager learning her name. It sounds absurd that Abbie is 13 and can't use sign language to say her own name but if you think about it what everyday use does it have for her? We don't go around speaking in third person so teaching her to communicate her name has always been a challenge because there is no reinforcer for it. We could change the sign so it's not as similar to bath but eventually we would run out of sign gestures because of her limited muscle control for more complex movements. She still thinks it means "bath" but we will keep trying.

"You gonna go to Chick-Fil-A?"
Abbie starts clapping.
A very accurate response in my opinion.
Simply Vince mood

Dad: But sweetheart, you already had a snack!
M O O D
Jana Bastian thats me on my period
I love that girl so much and I don’t even know her in person
soo relatable!!!
My girlfriend has done that and she’s not even autistic
@@kimnamjoonkimseokjinjinmon9255 I wish women would stop pretending that their period makes them out of control. No, it doesn’t. When we say things like that, it makes us appear to be unreliable, crazy, irrational, and unstable. Women have been menstruating since the beginning of humankind. Stop using it as an excuse. Powerful women don’t, and neither should you.
"And my hair will be wet until i take it down because i have thick hair." I related to this on such a spiritual level lol.
Same girl 👏😂
I relate to this and I shaved all my hair off. Its about 4 inches long and STILL RETAINS WATER FOR HOURS
I relate
Amber Whitman same
Jesse Anderson same
Abbi: *eat sign*
Dad: no
Abbi: *EAT SIGN*
Dad: no
Abbi: >:'O
Same, Abbi.
Abbie's laughter at the end made my whole day.
Life on Low Batteries I agree and she has a beautiful smile! 😊
Same😊
Life on Low Batteries IKR
Me too she make me feel so happy she is so beautiful and Abbie you are so helpful with your parents and your brother and I have a friend gets like you you guys are the best RUclipsrs in the world 💗
I've been an ABA therapist/RBT for almost a year now, and I went into the field because of your channel. I'm currently in graduate school studying ABA as well! I love watching Abby's growth and it's wonderful to see the support you have for your little girl. She's absolutely beautiful! Thank you for inspiring me to choose the path I did.
The CBD story had me cracking up!! With the flashback to why she was just so chilled out 😂😂
Howdy Justice can’t give you munchies but can help with nausea which goes hand in hand with eating.
What is CBD oil??
@Inbaeda cbd is placebo...PLACEBO
CBD oil is NOT a placebo. I use it for chronic pain. Trust me, it works.
@@habece1985 it's not a placebo, just because it wasn't right for you, or isn't right for you or someone you know, that doesn't mean it's placebo. It does work and works wonders for many people. A dog doesn't understand placebo, and I've personally seen it work on a dog with seizures.
I remember you saying you cut back on Abbie's sugar. Sometimes cutting back on such substances can lead to withdrawal insomnia. The brain is missing the rewards from the substance. Just a thought, and it could be plenty of other things. But, if it is, I'm assuming her sleep will improve as her body adjusts.
I was thinking the same thing. Giving up sugar is extremely difficult. I can only imagine the struggle.
Kristen Tortellini they did not cut it out completely just backed off some
well it might also have to do with autism in general.. now in my case i have a different forme of autism but i am also an insomniac.. if a noise around the house wakes me when i'm about to fall asleep i won't sleep for the whole night till it gets light outside wich is when suddenly my brain decides oh lights out.. though in my case my added ADHD might also be the cherry on the cake as often i also continuously think about stuff.. now usually with ADHD it goes from one thing to another however when this happens my autism peeks around the corner and slams that repeat button like a maniac.. so i end up looping the same thoughts in my super tired state causing my brain to race over and over and making me unable to sleep..
@@litchtheshinigami8936 try to think the thoughts backwards
@@litchtheshinigami8936 sums up autism and adhd very well
I'm an SLP who works children with ASD. I wish all of my parents were as loving, understanding, considerate, and patient as you are. You are amazing! You are role models for parents of children with special needs. Keep up the good work!
I LOVE the mom, she is so cute and has such a bubbly amazing personality 🤣
“I just talk under my breath really aggressively” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😲😲😲😲😲😲😲👼🏻👩🏻🌾👩🏻⚖👦
All she needed was some brother time and some Chick-fil-A.
I would give alot for some brother time again so get that
Chick fil a solves everyone's problems
💕 I bought a hoodie today! I haven’t been watching your guys videos for too long but I love them. So many teenagers like me aren’t educated on autism and I’m so glad you’ve chosen this platform to do so!
That’s awesome!
I knew when I saw the title that this one was going to be special and it sure was! Abbie learning to sign her name, gave me all the feels. I loved how you said it too with such ownership. She is Abbie! She's not autism. It is just part of her. I just love that girl and hope she learns how to proudly sign her name!
It's wonderful to see her happy. It's relatable to see when she's not. Life is amazing.
I’m an ABA therapist and I love watching your videos, you guys are doing amazing as parents and implementing what they’re teaching in session at home, your amazing !!
Abbie, don't cry. You're breaking my heart when you cry.
same!!
Pricilla I must say you always look so beautiful with the way you dress.I love your vlogs they are my sanity ,always makes my day watching abbies progress.
Well if you think the CBD oil made her chill then maybe try giving it to her before bed. Maybe even try CBD gummies.
it won't...is it placebo...i try on my autistic kid and it doesn't help...in Poland there is fluid called "Rispolept" and it helps autists to calm down and sleep well...
Or maybe try a higher dosage
CBD will not stop a tantrum, or a freak out, or a melt down.
but, it can make your child over all calmer,
and it can help your child sleep through the night.
and it can help your child relax their muscles, as anxiety causing teeth clench and other things.
It wont stop a melt down. but it will relax a high strung person.
Trista George so if you actually listened you’ll hear they said they tried giving it to her once before and it made her more full of energy than calm her. The effect change each time
When she cried i started crying i love abbie. Im not part of the family but everything she does makes me so proud. You guys are doing great
I love watching and learning about autism and Abby. But it hurts my heart to see her cry.
I'm with you on that! Watching her daily makes her part of your family and I know my heart strings pull when she is upset....
I have autism but that does not really look like autism
@@darnishahall4209 What exactly doesn't look like autism? If you don't mind me asking
“You’re breaking everybody’s heart”
That is so true!! I don’t like to see Abby cry! She just looks so pitiful when she does😭
**Edit** Happy Abby at the end is what I would rather see!
**Edit 2** Sorry for misspelling Abbie’s name! It’s clearly in the thumbnail! I hate when ppl misspell my name, so sorry Abbie!
I know it does break my heart but you can see how beautiful she is when she crys bc of all the emotion.. heartbreaking beautiful like a movie star
Oh you do ok...
Oh Abby doll...it just breaks my heart to see you cry. Such a sweet young lady with a heart of gold. Love the Moss family. You guys are truly an inspiration to all Parents out there.
My heart is shattered from watching her cry:(
We love you Abigail!! So proud of how far you’ve come!
I hate seeing Abby cry.
Me too
It really breaks my heart
Sigh....😪😪😓
**Abbie**
I teared up...
Her name sign is so cute! It's like a heartbeat the way she signs it.
Her smile is absolutely infectious! I’ve been following for a while
God bless that sweet precious girl I love watching her when she cries I want to cry you guys r the best parents ever god put her in yours loving arms for a reason god bless u
I love how you guys explain everything and also treat her like a normal child for example sending her to her room when she got upset and tore the pages of the cookbook! she's such a beautiful young lady! I enjoy watching Abby and how she's progressing!!
Every time I see those eggs hit the table I picture the cinnamon toast crunch conversation happening in her mind.:p
I just found your channel and I love it! I'm a mother on a 11 year old non verbal son with autism. Your channel is so relatable and made me feel a lot less alone. Thank you for posting.
Isaiah is my favorite. He’s so adorable. In fact the entire family is adorable
You guys are such great parents oh my gosh ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also, major relationship goals oh man
Totally subbed... so amazing to see two loving parents doing their best for their child. I was diagnosed with aspergers as a adult and it's something I'd struggled with my whole life as the world made zero sense. So I can only try to imagine how confusing the world could be for Abbie. Keep up the amazing work and videos which are so helpful!
i was diagnosed with high functioning autism at 13 despite me knowing all social cues but then again i have hard time learning things so it might be the info process in my brain that adapts slow
Seeing Abbie and your family brightens my day! I can’t wait to be an ABA therapist to continue to work with such amazing individuals
Hey guys!! I take CBD oil for anxiety and too help me sleep, therefore I take it like 15-30 minutes before I go to bed and it helps me sleep a lot better and through the night. I also take melatonin which helps as well. :)
I've taken melatonin as well but it only made me super hyper. I'm not sure if it has to do with me having anxiety issues.
kariangi 13 melatonin helps me sleep and get on a better sleeping schedule it doesn’t help with anxiety like the CBD does.
Surprisingly, THC is a better sleep aid than CBD, despite its reputation. CBD is fantastic for relaxing while you're awake, though. And I recommend melatonin too
i have phases where i will or will not have night terrors and following insomnia; n i found melatonin chocolates in the health food's stores :D! they helped a lot but overall my relationship is probably restoring a lot of what never was. n i've been using dispensary grade marijuana products since 8th grade xP
I take melatonin, that helps me a lot to sleep. It doesn’t make me hyper at all though.
⁉️Have you tried reinforcing the signs?
Instead of pointing to someone and doing the sign, have someone go into another room, make Abbie sign for them, and then make them come into the room and say hi.
Might help her connect them better. I’m not an expert, just a student, but I hope this is helpful!
Abbie was just having an emotional day, poor girl. Sometimes we all get a little emotional and just don't know how to expree ourselves. Sometimes we just need to be mad at the world also. Looks like Abbie was having fun at the end. Love hearing the happy laugh.
Your daughter is a gift to this world. Your love for her has taught me so much. I also have ASD. She is an inspiration. You all are.
I have seen several Mom's at my boy's school have several decals on the car windows that say something along the line "someone with autism rides in this vehicle may not respond to verbal commands." And they have a decal on the two passenger windows and the rear window. I thought it is a smart idea. And they have the seat belt thing that says it too for their child with autism.
She's blooming into the sweetest. Most beautiful young lady. Goodness. ❤️
Her sad face absolutely broke my heart.
Oh my!! Those tears! 😭😭 I wanted to drive from Texas over there to sneak her some Chick-fil-A lol. My son is autistic and he makes the most saddest faces when i have to tell him “no”.
SN: my son was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old (now 10). I am a single mom raising him on my own. I also have a 6 year old daughter (who isn’t autistic). And this helps me sooo much to try and explain all the W’s to my daughter about her brother. There is soooo much know about autism cause each child is different but the same. So thank you so very much for showing me that it’s okay to be overwhelmed and to try different ways to make it just a little bit better for my son. And for your son to show that having a sibling with special needs is completely okay and to not care what people think ♥️♥️
I work in a day program and the reason we tell people the bathroom habits is so you can tell if something is not right. Some people need to know if their child pooped or peed because of a new medication for example. Love your videos and I loved seeing Abbie so happy at the end! Made me smile!
My son is autistic, there's so many different types on the spectrum, but he has just started talking properly and clearly, he will be five in seven months. It's so amazing to see you guys parent and I relate so much to your stories, especially the waking up early lol! I get my son and bring him back to bed and he ends up picking on his daddy too 😂 Abbie is a beautiful person, she's so smart and so capable. I always feel parents who have autistic children (special needs children in general) need to hear supportive and positive things. You guys are rockstar parents and you inspire my husband and I to stay strong we have our son, a daughter who is a year younger than he is and she talks to him and it helps them learn to communicate better and she helps him learn, too it's a beautiful bond they have, they're both anxiously excited about their new baby sister and my son was actually able to say "beautiful baby!" When we got our 20 week ultrasound 😭❤️ sorry I don't have anyone else to talk to who would understand how it is to parent an autistic child.
Lol the dynamic betweem you two as husband and wife and the honesty is absolutely hilarious. Great family keep it up!
I'm so glad that you ended the vlog with Abbie laughing - those tears were breaking my heart. I understand that she has difficulty dealing with her anger but it is so hard to watch her cry. Her smile and laugh are so contagious. You certainly have your challenges with her but, thank God, you keep trying and the results are obvious.
When did you and therapist decide to start with sign language for Abbie I work with a child that is non verbal .
Abbie first started learning sign language when she was in the early steps program before she even had a diagnosis. She was 2.
Thanks for the reply my pt is 2 so I will talk with her mom and get her started on that thanks again have a good night talk to you again soon
my son started with sign laungage at 2... hes now verbal... but at the time we were looking for anything to help with communication to lesson melt downs
We started talking with my daughter sign language when she was born. I have 2 Aunts that are deaf and they would watch her for us. She didn't learn to speak until she was around 5-6. My daughter is 17 now. She can speak fluent English but she prefers to still speak sign.
My son has some special issues and didn't start speaking until he was 6. We started sign with him at birth also but it didn't start sticking with him until he was around 4. The difference between the sign with our daughter and our son was night and day though. She could complete conversations and he would tell you basic needs only.
I do think speaking out loud and signing at the same time is very important though.
aleana Reynolds I have friends who start all of their children with sign language as early as possible. Whether with disabilities or not, it helps with their language development by making communication connections between child and parents. They start with basic ones like “more” for more food, “done” for done with food, “no” “dog” they have dogs in their house. I believe there are some videos for baby sign language on RUclips.
Watching you parent her is truly incredible, you’re so patient and kind with her and she really seems to have a better understanding of the world and how to communicate as she grows and you nurture her.
idk why but the random clip of isaiah screaming “everybody get in the car” was so funny to me
Awww Abbie you really do break everyone’s heart when you start crying❤️
someone has probably said this before as I haven't seen any other videos, but Abbie looks just like her mom. very cute.
I've watched other bloggers with kids who have non-verbal autism and the way they handle it by yelling at them, and a couple of them refer to their child as "the kid with autism" and it made me appreciate your blog and what you do for the autism community. I myself don't have any kids with it but the reason I love your vlog is because in this day in age I love seeing the positivity and the desire to help others.
Love the pro tip Pricilla Lol literally getting ready and I only have 20 mins to get ready and my hairs wet. I’m trying that trick right now!
it was refreshing to hear parents teaching couping skills and working with their children. I feel so many parents try to take the easy way out like using service dogs. don't get me wrong service dogs are great but tethering a child to a dog is dangerous for everyone. Great job to both of you. You got a new subscriber Abbie is so darn cute. you can see how intelligent and deep her soul runs through her eyes!
Chic Fil A gets claps!!
Four consecutive claps coupled with an intense attention span shown at 15:42 where she almost looked into Asa’s soul = sign for Chic Fil A now.
I must say something. I came across one of your video's on FB. I don't have any children that have autism, but you guys are great. I love how you guys help so many others and direct them in the right direction. I love how you are with Abby! I also want to say you have amazing children, no matter how challenging your daily life maybe at times.
correction Abbie.
Definitely the appropriate response to "are you gonna go to chick-fil-a?"
👏🏻👏🏻😉 so perfect
I'm so happy there is other parents out there who know the struggle of going into stores and being stared at my son is 4 he's a hyper functioning autistic child and is also delayed developentmentally as well so when we go to a store he freaks out or has meltdowns either it's too loud or too much for him to take in seeing these videos gives me comfort knowing there are others out there. Thank you for flogging.
She was so cute when she sign her name
reminiscing with the fam! how i luv miss Abigail..she's come a long way with all the loving care you've taken for her development in life.
Aww Abbie Baby Girl I can't take the tears!!
Edit -- Abbie autocorrects to Annie lol
What a awesome family. My grandson is 6, non verbal autistic. Lots of love sent your way!
0:05 "That's not Cinnamon Toast Crunch."
Right on point! Lol
if you watch there videos they have to cut back on her sugar intake
Also General Mills cereals have trisodium phosphate which is VERY toxic.
@@jamiclementine6152 I don't know what that is
Abbie’s such a sweet girl. I love how y’all stay so calm with everything that goes on. You have such a beautiful family! Keep on being amazing 💕
Abbie looks so much like Priscilla. Beautiful family.
Im just a 20 year old girl, that has never been into contact anything autism related. But here i am binge watching your videos and learning about it. I think abbie is amazing and she blessed with a loving and caring familie😍
“she’s like a personal marching band” oh my lord 😂 i love you guys so much
This makes my heart melt. Makes me so proud at every sign she shows us .
About being tired in the morning... could it be just about being a teenager?
When I see sweet Abbie crying it brings tear's to my eyes
I love when Abbie gets so happy. Her smile melts my heart.
I feel that Educating all Emergency responders on all forms of Intellectual Disabilities would be a good thing so often people do not know how to react in these cases. Abby seems like she is having difficulties not unlike a teenager but different. Glad she still enjoys going out in the community though I worked with a girl and she grew to not liking to go out. hope you have a great day.
Almost sounded like she was saying "my name" and then it sounded like she said "me". Interesting. I swear there's words in some of those sounds with these kiddos.
You to are the cutest couple. When u got in your car after dropping abbie off to school that made my day. Love your positivity and happy attitudes. Thank you for posting about your beautiful family.
Yes, please do a video regarding the McKay and Gardiner scholarship programs in Florida.
Abbie just made my heart smile so big at the end,just precious...
“She was UP up..” - Priscilla 😂 And the story of giving her CBD is no different than how Benadryl affects kids/teenagers. We’ve all done it 🤷🏻♀️😅 really love this video 💕
Have we all done it though? lol
I love abbie so much, every time I'm watching your videos I wanna hug her so bad ❤️ it's crazy how you can love somebody you've never met!
Kisses from Portugal, I love you all guys ❤️
I love this channel so much ❤️ !!!
You don't know how much you help families and individuals who are aspie. Thank you so much!
I love you guys so much. It broke my heart when she cried but the end made me grin like an idiot. I saw u on SBSK and your videos started popping up. I normally HATE vlogs, but yours are amazing! Abby is SOOOO beautiful and smart and I love her so much! Ive been volunteering with multiple different developmental disability communities both at school and in my community and seeing videos like this helps me understand autism so much better. Every kid/adult is different but this gives me a great basis to help other kids like Abby. Also, Isiah is probably the best brother in the whole world!
I need to learn to self regulate my anger and frustration and anxiety. I dont pick up early enough that im getting really overwhelmed and then i self harm. Maybe i just expect more of myself than i can actually deal with and that pushes me to high distress. Then i can seem to calm myself down.
good luck & go easy on yourself 💛
You folks are amazing. So patient, and the 2 of you seem to work so well together. You have a beautiful family.
Poor Abbie when she cries it breaks my heart!
You guys are my dream parents. I teach kids with special needs mainly autism. I teach three, four, five year olds. Y’all are amazing
Had a random idea pop into my head for your store. You should totally sell puzzle versions of Abbie's art and maybe some of your t-shirt designs and other graphics :)
I think your family is amazing, and I love that you treat and talk to Abby normal no baby talk. Thank you for being an amazing role model and family for others to learn from.
0:54 yeah thats about what I look like when I need to get out of bed. Most often Im hanging from the ceiling or under the mattress.
Some of those may have been exaggerated a bit.
@11:28 when you said 'that face' i already had tears in my eyes, definitely heartbreaking. You just want to make her feel better immediately.
Priscillas wearing her meatball shirt 😍
Haha good eye!
siobhan is it this one or the red one like this? Haha
I thought the same thing!!
Jess
Me too. LOL. Every time I see her in it I chuckle and think about meatballs. SMH. Didn’t she say it was her fav shirt? Or was that a diff outfit?
So sad when she cry’s 😭😭😭 well done to Abbie for signing her name! Love you guys!
Have you thought about raising her sign name so it's up on her cheek/chin area? Or SimComming more so she has extra exposure to signs?
ASL is my primary mode of communication and I still get signs mixed up if they are similar
an a at the cheek can mean menstruation and other ASL words. It is best to have a Deaf individual give Abby her sign name (if they wanted to change it), but the one she has is one of the places where neutral sign names go. And way to go on this family for helping Abby communicate!!! Abby works so hard every day. She is killing it!
This is amazing to see!! I have two with autism and my middle is non verbal autistic. He signs really well and trys to be vocal but just cant. We have alot of frustration tantrums but I'm glad to see it gets better! ABA is a god sent.
Bless her heart. Can y’all talk about her fascination with food?
Probably just makes her happy, dopamine receptors are connected with eating yummy food!
It could be a way of getting oral stimulation and sensory input. She also may be hungry frequently from being so physically active. Could be boredom. Lots of possibilities.
I have a cousin with mild autism. These videos are literally so amazing! It’s such a light hearted, fun, sweet, and caring family to watch to help understand things that you are just never taught when it comes to autism. You two are angels. Love these videos and love you guys!
"Make it cool"
"It's not cool."
Hahaha.
I wanted to cry when she cried, she has that effect on people
Awe I don't like to see Abbie crying 🥺 she's so smart woww
Beautiful girl! Bless her heart! I can’t imagine how difficult being non-verbal is! You guys are amazing! And her brother...what a wonderful young man!! He is so gentle and patient!
Abbie you’re a beautiful young lady,,
Stephanie Mullins Could not agree more! Soooo beautiful! ❤️
