Great AD-VO-CA-TION!! Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for pushing the issue of 'insurance'! She has no desire to communicate? That's all that girl does!
Rhonda B. I have autism and I use pecs has she used the communication method pecs and my is mild autism. I am in indiana
My boyfriend uses a crutch to get around the house and a wheel chair for long distances. The wheel chair is the only reason he has been able to graduate high school, and college, and work a full time job and keep up with able bodied colleagues. He's had it since kindergarten because his legs (he has CP) just can't carry him for more than a few feet at a time. He had this one chair since 6th grade, we're now 23 and his doctor said he had grown out of it YEARS AGO. So we went through finding most cost effective wheelchair that fits him and he can physically lift on his own which is super important. It took two years to get this darn wheel chair because the insurance company said it isn't essential because he doesn't use it in his home. Moral of the story is insurance has no problem taking away someone's wheelchair. Healthcare isn't set up for the people who need it the most and that is everything that is wrong with the system
It's so obvious watching her with it that she will be able to use it to communicate more effectively. This device is PERFECT for kids like her. American insurance companies have zero shame. It gets me pretty heated thinking about it. 😡
Abbie is so awesomely smart and cute. I am a mother of a 19 yr old son whom is Autistic and I know how some days are harder to deal with him. So thank you for getting autism AWARENESS out in the world.
Awesome!!! I think Pricillas birthday wish is in the works now!!! ❤
Hi! Good to see Abbie is doing well! The live video was awesome and I love the merch! Thanks for sharing!
You guys are awesome !!!! Keep fighting the fight!!!!! Love you guys ☺😘❤
I am so obssessed with this channel!!
Hi how are you guys doing I’m so excited to be watching you guys. I hope you guys are having a blessed day.
So very happy you got the dynobox.
Thanks for all you do.....you make us see to hang in there......and your an insoration....hugs,AletaSneed
I hate that insurance is like this now. Half the reason why she has meltdowns probably is BECAUSE she can't easily communicate, so using that as an excuse to not give her one is messed up! So glad you guys got one in the meantime and are still perusing those crooks. Also hi, I've been watching your channel for a month now! It drew me in because I have a couple friends and a cousin that are on the spectrum. My two friends have Aspergers and my cousin is a lot like Abbie, but has become verbal over the past 5 years (mostly asks your name and a bunch of questions), he's 15. This channel is great and I really like this stream
I didnt know she could type sentences. That is awesome!
I love these live streams bc I listen to them like podcasts
Thanks for doing stuff over on Y T too bc I can't use you now. They...yn... let me once but then I couldn't anymore w/o doing stuff I can't do to continue viewing commenting there. Sorry I missed the live.
Can you guys do a video of Abbie using her Dynavox? I use a communication device as well. Actually I use some of the same ones as her I use Go Talk Now and snap+core Dynavox.
How can you not be excited when The Maas notification happens!!! lol
Coomuncation divces are awsome i am all for them for those who are unable to talk
Love u Guy's so much
There was another youtuber competition design. And come up with 5 great ones. From a few hundred entries. So yes do competition.
Can you do a video on how she uses the Dynobox? I would love to know how she knows what to press. You guys are amazing.
Beautiful kids
Love show
You may have already thought of this but, you could get letters from Abbie's doctor and Abbie's therapists, including speech therapist that all state the majority of Abbie's meltdowns are due to not being able to communicate her needs and wants. With those many professionals saying that it might just work. I worked with the deaf and many times there were dual diagnoses. I 100% agree that the majority of meltdowns are due to not being able to communicate their wants and needs. I have seen this many times.
Heather Junker getting letters of recommendation from all her doctors is a great idea. It wouldn't even hurt to call her old doctors. Anybody who can give a professional recommendation, the more the better!
Heather Junker Even getting a couple from people in the education system wouldn't hurt.
Oh I missed it live, I have notifications set up but didn’t get one.
I wonder if Dynavoxes are good for more middle of the road-type of kids. My son's verbal, but does have issues with communicating sometimes. And he slides back into shorter sentences and phrases when he's having a bad day.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Does Abbie use weighted items? Where do you get her road ID bands? I have a road ID medical alert bracelet and I really liked her bands
Other videos show that she has a weighted pillow and a blanket.
Hi from Northern Ireland
Hi from California
Just saying hi love the vlogs autism is big in the family lots of different types of it i have borderline Asperger's and im 29 years old just being diagnosed with it and its been shown for years and years but not properly tested tell this last year after i had my son.
How dare a stranger say that she has no desire to communicate! How would they have come to this conclusion? You'll get the device just on that dumb comment that the insurance company made! Shame on them!
Does anyone know if younow is blocked in china?
Hi Isaiah hi Abby
Keep fighting, Disability ACT (law)..
I tried to buy an autism upside down chair. Can you help me? It tried to make me use paypal or another website.
I have autism myself and was diagnosed as an adult your channel really really helped me accept and come to terms with diagnosis.
I meant shirt sorry!! 😬
Haha is 5pm in Texas ☹️
The audio goes off about halfway through, not sure if you know. I watched anyway but it wasn't easy to follow loll.
Could you have Abbie’s Doctor write a prescription for it? Some insurances will pay for one item a year like hearing aid and such.
My brother said when he had tantrums he said as an adult. It was because he couldn’t communicate!!! For him he was not autistic. It could be a form of communication!!!
Maybe have the staff at Abbie’s school also write letters to!
That’s all part of the process. Everyone wrote letters. We just got someone who doesn’t understand.
FatheringAutism sadly I can relate but for other condition. Good luck with it! Hope it pays off for those who need it! Such great tools to help people communicate. Thanks for all you guys do. I wish I had known about swimming and other things. I had clients with autism. Had not know about that until your Vlogs.
Dang. I took a nap and missed it.
people are amazing i can't believe it that is awesome i wish someone would send me 3 dynavox devices for the 3 boys that i worked with cause i am going to keep up in trying to help those boys
sarah mccluske You know they run over $3,000... And that doesn't sound right... U wish somebody would send you??? That's not somebody else's responsibility... What you should say is you'll advocate for them and fight with the insurance company to get them... Not say "I wish somebody would send me 3" 3!!??? That's over $10,000... SMH
How much do nonverbal individuals understand that talking is the “normal” form of communication? ie If they understand speech and can form sentences on a device, why is learning verbal speech such a challenge? I hope that was worded correctly. I sincerely apologize if anything came out disrespectful. I love the channel and can’t wait to see the progress with the device!
Each person is different, some will almost completely understand what is said to them and will be able to read and everything else, but can't speak, others might almost never be able to understand what's being said to them. Many verbal autistic people, like myself, can also struggle to understand what is being said sometimes. The reason for this is that there are a lot of different processes that go into hearing and speaking which I guess are automatic and see like the same thing for allistics? I dunno, I don't know what it's like for you haha. As for Abbie, she seems to have some receptive communication but it's not always at it's best
But for listening it's mostly audio processing, so the ability of the brain to hear words and determine the meaning. When my audio processing stops working, speaking sounds like those videos which show what English sounds like to non-English speakers, like, it's definitely English and it's definitely a human voice, but I have no idea what is being said because my brain has too much else going on to allocate resources to figuring out what the words are and mean.
Speaking in a practical sense is a motor skill, which is why Speech Pathologists help with the movement of the jaw and the manipulation of vocal cords and breathing. A lot goes on physically with the mouth and throat to produce words and sounds and kids with speech difficulties can often find it difficult to produce those sounds so need to practice it
There's also the mental side of speaking, just like how my brain has to put extra effort into deciphering sentences, it has to put extra effort in to form them. Actually thinking about what to say and forming a sentence or even just vocalising needs and wants can be difficult for autistic people.
This is just my knowledge and experience but I hope it was helpful :)
MaryJane Thank you for your wonderful response. My daughter goes through the same thing where all of a sudden, she can't hear what I'm saying because her brain is busy processing a million other things. I think you're amazing!💗
I love the C3PO pic on the wall
Am party girl great showman
Abby 😍
Hi
Those prices are insane….
I have Gigabit internet upload and download but your stream is very low fps for some reason.
Don’t know, may have been your WiFi if you were watching it on mobile. We were on landline. Most people said it was good.
It may have been an issue somewhere between Jacksonville, FL and Chattanooga, TN, because I did a speedtest.net while watching your stream and got over 800 Mbits.
I do know that streaming involves your upload speed and when I had AT&T fiber, I only had 1.4 to 1.9 Mbits upload.
Even watching the UA-cam video in 1080p, it is studdering (video not audio)
Lastly, I watch your videos on a 65 inch 4K, HDR Samsung KS8000 connected to a dedicated high-end gaming computer which I use play games on and I use a dedicated high-end streaming computer that I stream the games to using a capture card, OBS and Twitch. I stream at 6Mbits, 720P and 60 fps, so mobile users can also enjoy my content. I do record in 1080P and upload to UA-cam, also for those that are unable to watch me live. I built both of my computers. I am a retired Computer Engineer (software development).
Hello
does isaiah ever get jealous of all the attention abbie receives or jealous how a lot of things are mostly about her?
Since Abbie is asleep now are you guys going to wake her up after this video
YOUNOW Fan
Hey Fathering Autism. What did Abbey want? She was doing her sign for potty. Does Abbey go potty by herself or do you guys take her to the bathroom? I want one of your Shirts. I was going to order a Shirt and sunglasses but I have to put my debit Card Information and I don’t want anyone going into my bank account and taking my money. Whenever I go buy something from your Fathering Autism Store on UA-cam. It asked me to put my card information on there. I don’t know what to do now. I really want the t-shirt and The pink sunglasses. I have Special Needs too but not Autism. Why do you don’t put Abbey in her room?
Hi abbie how are you doing brush her teeth
Do you just comment on here
Lynne Moore the live stream is over, you can comment here but it is after the fact like a regular UA-cam comment. The comments that were posted during the live stream will show up a little later they have some processing time before they show up to watch along with the video. They were live about 5pm to 5:52pm EST....after that you just watch the replay.
Yeah. Realized it was not live anymore after I sent comment. Was trying to get on because I to have a non verbal autistic teenager.
Check out YouNow at 9pm EST for fun stuff or they will go live here again usually on Sundays (they are good about notifications if you click the bell.) Priscilla often responds on Facebook or u can try any of their social media links in the description. They are a great resource, glad you found them!
That’s stupid
