    At the very beggining it really sounds like Abbie said
    "I know"
    And then "yeah" when you asked "right?"
    I know she did not say it actually but its so close, and its cute to watch.
    Lots of Love!❤

      Nina Portolan ik that’s what I was thinking and before I remembered that sometimes her sounds sound like words I was so happy and excited and then....I remembered😢

      At the beginning when they’re leaving it sounds like she said bye mom.

    • @fatheringautism
      @fatheringautism  5 лет назад +40

      She had been making the sound for a couple days. I was leading her with phrases that would warrant an appropriate "I know" response because it was cute and gave me a giggle. She wasn't actually responding with words. It's been her go-to sound lately. That being said, she's been super chatty recently making all kinds of sounds when she gets excited. There's a vlog coming up where she's especially vocal.

    Y'all kept coming up as a suggestion for me. I'd watch a video here and there and more kept showing up. It didn't take long for me to fall in love with Abbie and hit subscribe. She's so smart, so funny, I can completely relate with her food obsession lol. I love the way you guys parent her.. I love the relationship between her and her brother. I saw you mentioned several times on the Schofield channel and now I know why. What a beautiful family.

Live and learn... You guys are making a difference in the world just wanted to commend you guys for doing what you do each and every day... Abbie you are blessed with an Amazing group of people and (PARENTS) who love you and is teaching you so many things...
    Abbie sure sounded like she was saying I Know!

    I’m so happy I came across your channel when I did, first and foremost you really help make me smile and show me such a positive but real side of life. Whatever the content I’m either smiling or taking in an important lesson. You guys have helped direct me to be interested in a career path in working with children/young people with special needs so thank you so much! Sending love always.

  • @ashboos3987
    @ashboos3987 5 лет назад

    It’s been awhile since I’ve watched your videos but I found you again and remembered how much I love these videos! Also I really love how you guys gave Abbie a moment before going to send mail and made sure she was okay to do that. It’s hard to know when kids (specifically with special needs) are able to complete a task or if they really just can’t at that moment. You do so well understanding her and I can really see her improvement in communication and understanding because of that.

    Isaiah, I hope you are proud of who you are pertaining to this family. You bring such pride to your mom as her only son...your great accomplishment in becoming a man is written all over your dads face, oh the pride you see in his eyes when he looks at you is something you can carry with you for life. You sense the safety Abbie feels when big brother takes her hand. Bottom line, you are an amazing human being and I wish for you, your every dream. Much love from mine to yours! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

  • @hydrofire1296
    @hydrofire1296 5 лет назад

    I just need to say, being a sibling with a family member who requires extreme amounts of compassion, care and patience demands sooooo much more maturity and responsibility as that sibling. This demand can cause the sibling to respond negatively by acting out or respond positively by stepping it up and rising to the responsibility. ISAIAH, you sir STEP UP TO THE PLATE! What an amazing example of ability far beyond your age. I love the way you play and tease her back in a typical sibling relationship but also become the care taker when necessary. Your entire family doesn't just show up for the game, you play hard and give all as a team and it's truly inspiring to many.

    Awesome honesty. I love it. One advantage big guy and grandma had when Kaidale came along was vast experience and we were young enough still to help. First time parents and dealing with autism is a load. I love your channel so much I gotta comment but please don't feel like you have to respond. Last thing you need is any more pressure. Really I think Abby might just like his hair down. That's another thing too Isiah hanging like he does is a load on a kid but he's going to be so far ahead in life and he knows he's loved and valued.

I haven’t gone 1 Day this week without hearing the words “ my motorcycle “ 🙄🤯 He doesn’t have a license yet, and is scared to ride it. Yesterday he said “ I can do 45, I don’t mind going slow, but going fast scares me” I replied “ Yeah, because people get motorcycles to go slow” 😆 He got so mad, haha haha!

If she sees someone outside as she’s coming up our road, she lays on the horn to let them know she’s coming trying to get them to freeze until she gets there....she has even given my packages to my neighbors if they had packages as well, and tell them to give it to me for her.....😡

    I don’t know if this would work for Abbie or if you have tried it, but an old camp trick that I use all the time to stop crying is to make campers drink water. For some reason, people can’t cry while they drink, and it forces deeper breathing! I have never had it not work 😊

And the way Isaiah is with her warms my heart and you and Priscilla handle everything with such love and grace and most importantly humor 🤗 just wanted to reach out and say how because of your videos I’m going to be going back to school to be a one on one aid for children with special needs! It’s something I’ve always known I’ve wanted to do but watching all of you has cemented that for me. I love you all and sending much love and light your way everyday! Xoxo Cristina.

    I think Abbie just didn’t want to do the work and she knows that if she cries you (most likely) won’t make her do it lol but that attempt failed Abbie! Gotta work harder sweetie! Manipulate them more! 🤣 I’m kidding of course.
    I think she just wasn’t feeling good and was tired. But pushing her to do it anyway is the best for her in the long run. It’s not gonna kill her to do it so she can do it! Good parenting moment! 👍🏻

    Your mail lady must know our mailman. He will not get out of his mail truck unless you literally show him your home and watching him. I watched him literally stand at the back of his truck debate wether or not he should deliver the package that was too big to shove in the box , i could see if i had tons of steps but i dont have any at all. he is the worst, and than the holidays come which i get the fustration there holiday rush and all that but dang guy get your stuff together. Though of recent times they switched out the mailman for a mail lady who rushes the street *so basically we got speed racer for a replacement. 😔

    I live in Brevard county Florida and my mail lady is awful too. Maybe it's a Florida thing.

    Every time I see y’all taking Abs to school and pass the apartments by the Drs office(right before her school) or when I pass them going to a Drs visit, I think about how perfect it would be if JSA could purchase those apartments and use them for assisted residential living for adult age students....the location is perfect and they are currently remodeling them.....so maybe one day!
