  • Abbie can be pretty loud and have abrupt movements when she is stimming. Especially when she is overwhelmed, anxious, or excited. Loud autistic stimming attracts attention. Some of that is unwanted attention but often times we use it as an opportunity to share awareness and acceptance.

    Once one of my students licked a gen ed kid on the playground. As I moving toward them, the other kid tried to engage my student in conversation and kept getting licked. I told her it was okay to say no or to step back so she wouldn’t get licked again. (Of course, I moved my student out of licking range at the same time).That sweet child replied that her parents told her that she would meet different kinds of people when she started school and it was important to be kind to them all.

    When you mentioned about adults being judgment I wanted to cry. Our son has sensory issues and while the school has been amazing and we work hard at home, he sometimes has meltdowns. I guess one day he had slapped and bit his friend at school (junior kindergarten) & the teacher called and I was mortified and sought out more resources immediately. Things were good until I went to parent teacher interviews one evening and as I was waiting these two moms were sitting outside bashing my son (not knowing that I was his mom, and I didn’t have him with me). The things they said were awful! They even said his parents should be reported to CPS :( I started bawling and left the building, I was devastated as we do everything possible for our son. When I went back in and talked to his teacher, she said it was a one time thing and he’d actually been making big improvements. The teacher and ECE also started crying because of just how awful adults can be. It was ignorance. Those moms didn’t know my son or our struggle to help him.

      I have a service dog, and kids of course when they see a dog they want to go pet and talk to them. So I always explain to them what a service dog is and what the etiquettes are when you see someone with a service dog. But when I have adults that clearly know its a service dog start talking to and calling over my service dog, I stand up to them and be more "aggressive" towards them and using sarcasm because they are adults. They know what a service dog is. And they usually reply with "Then don't bring it out in public if you don't want people to talk to your dog" and I always tell them "I need her and if not I could have a seizure and possibly not make it alive, and guess what would be YOUR fault"

Years ago there were only service dogs for the blind but now there are so many types of service dogs that people, no matter how uninformed about disability, will know about service dogs and the etiquette of when a dog is wearing its vest then it’s working. Some of the vests even have written on them “do not talk to or distract”. It’s not rocket science!

    I know I'm watching this late, but wanted to say how awesome it was with you all talking to the kids (and their parents). Fortunately, my kids go to a school where they are exposed to ALL types of people. It's great there. They call all the kids friends. Every single one of them. Some are different, but they're still just another friend (just meaning only treated differently by giving them what they need). My daughter has ADHD and being there has saved her life in a lot of ways. The school is Montessori and largely became what it is due to working with their first autism student. The school was renamed for her because of her inspiration for so much. Keep doing what you do. So glad to see Abigail thriving.

    So happy to see her smiling once the tram got going. That struggle to get through the initial stuff is rough sometimes. It seemed like after the first time she did much better riding.
    That’s awesome that they have everything marked so you can see where you can find what you’re lookin for accessibility wise.
    Overall it just looks like a fun place!
    I like that Isaiah was all about to go on a mission in big brother mode.
    Love the teachable moments especially with youth, it is SO important!! They are harmless and they just want to know and once you tell them, it’s just like oh okay. I love that they followed up with questions. We don’t always get such great opportunities to educate in real life so when you do, it’s so great!

    My brother has a few different things he's been diagnosed with. Growing up my mother always told me and other kids that special people are Angels in disguise to help watch over everyone on Earth, so we should always be nice to them and spread the love they bring with them from Heaven. It's something I tell my sons too. It's something easy to say and understand as a child.

    i clicked on one of y’all videos because it was recommended to me, and i wanted to check it out, but i like how you don’t necessarily get angry at kids because they look and you explain which is one of the best things to me! I’m 16 and i haven’t explored what autism is and how people with it function and i think that y’all open up a whole new way i can view things and i’m hooked!! love y’all so much, mckenna💛

  • @yogabirds
    @yogabirds 5 років тому +78

    Here is a idea I use that be good for you to try. I printed up some business cards with my service dog's picture, a little about why I have him, and service dog etiquette. So many parents shush their kids anytime they look at us. Most kids are just curious, so when parents shush them, I go up and say my dogs pretty cute huh? I then have him give them a card. I let them know it's okay to be curious and to ask someone with a service dog if they would mind telling you little about their dog. I reassure them he gets lots of pets and hugs when he is not working and let them know if we are out and he doesn't have his work clothes vest on, that they are more than welcome to come pet him. I know you guys don't use maverick as a service dog, but you could print up some cards that says she has autism and make make noises and gestures most teenagers don't. You could put your UA-cam channel on the card if they want to learn more. These are especially helpful in cases where I maybe don't have time to do a 20 minute explanation of everything but still feel it's important to let them know why I have him.

      Thats really awesome. I know a lot of people are irritated by the constant questions but as someone who doesn't know anyone with a service dog im curious and intrigued. Id like to know more (like what the dog can do/training etc, not really what condition the person has or such) but i dont know how to go about asking without seeming rude

    • @adierose0621
      @adierose0621 5 років тому +1

      This is so great because if kids are taught to not ask questions and to not be curious then they will never be educated about these types of things. I know I was told to never ask questions about different types of people because it was rude but not knowing about them made me think of them as more and more different. I might have been able to identify my anxiety early before I was diagnosed maybe if I had a little more education about anxiety and anxiety service dogs I might have been able to get the things I needed earlier.

    • @adierose0621

The parents really appreciated you talking to their children and educating them as to what's going on with Abbie. Y'all are amazing!!

    I just want to Thank you both for always taking the time to explains to others about Autism.
    I am a parent who’s oldest son who has ASD, and I wish ppl would just ask questions, instead of starring and whispering. We need more acceptance, and less judgement!
    I live in a small town, and Autism is not talked about especially within the school district. Our children within our school district need to be taught about Autism and other students who have different special needs so they are excepted at a young age.
    Keep up the great work you do educating others 😀👍💕

    @lisab.1559 5 років тому +1

    I am so glad you all educate families about autism. Our daughter no longer lives with us but when she did, we were viciously attacked by tons of people, even family. Everyone thought we were somehow to blame for her issues. No one thought she was autistic, including strangers which made everyone an expert on her in their opinion, so out came peoples insults and opinions. Even where she is at now, with tons of other kids with disabilities, visible special needs, who live with her...if she is out someplace without any of the other kids around, people want to call the police, security on the people caring for her. Because she looks so typical, yet she is not. I tried to educate others but rarely if ever got any positive response. The fact you both continue to include others, educating others on everyone has a difference inspires me, I sadly just gave up. Only hubby dealt with her out in public because the insults thrown at me were so severe because I am the Mom. Hubby rarely, if ever got attacked like I did. I believe because he is a guy and people respected him more, traveling, and out with a child people were helpful or left him alone entirely. He traveled the world with her and she did exceptionally well with him. Thank you for being such positive role models.

    I love it when kids are curious. I have a few chronic conditions that mean I use mobility aids and you get really curious kids asking question like 'why are you in the car in a shop' when I am in a mobility scooter and the parents mostly say don't ask that sweetie and I am like no no it's ok and I explain in a way they understand. And when use crutches it's the same ' why do you have sticks ' and it literally just kids being curious. I find it's 9 out of 10 people who are rude or judgemental are adults and elderly oddly enough. That whom I get the most nasty comments from

    You're right that children are genuinely curios and are only judgemental if they're taught to be, or overhear an adult being judgemental and think that that's how they're meant to behave. It's better to ask than anything.
