Soo stinkin' proud of you for ALL you DID do at Universal! (It's my fav theme park that I've ever been too! That butterbeer is LIFE!) You rocked it...the hulk scares me too! ha
So glad to find your channel through Lauren Brazee!! I'm jealous of all the fun you had at universal and at playlist, I would love to meet Fathering Autism too. I have a son who is on the spectrum, he's 5. So glad to see your vlogs and adventures!!
It was so fun watching your day at Universal Studios. I found your channel after seeing you at Disney World a couple weeks ago with Asa, Priscilla, Abbie and all your friends. I really enjoy your videos 😊 Im too scared to ride the hulk too!
Hi Barb 😃 thank you! It was a fun day. The Hulk looks very scary I don’t think I want to ever ride it because I won’t enjoy it I will just be terrified the whole time, so what would the point be? Anyways spoiler alert- I’m going back to Universal this Friday!! I can’t wait 😊 I will definitely share my day again
@@JenMsumba There is definately no point in getting on a ride that you know you wont enjoy. Im a wdw passholder and there are a few rides I wont ride such as Tower of Terror. Nope..not for me 😊 I hope you have a really good time at Universal! I cant wait to see what you enjoy this time 💗
YOU HAD ME AT.... "I THINK WE'RE FRIENDS"....and that where I first saw you on FATHERING AUTISM... THAT IS WHERE I WANTED to find your vlog... Then I saw you on the cruise and KNEW I WANTED TO MEET YOU... I am older and would call you "darling" JUST A "DARLING"...I'm so happy to find you...
Hi Jen, just saw that Pricilla gave you a shoutout on her Instagram. So nice of her. She said to subscribe to your channel but of course I’m already a long term subriber of yours. I’m so happy you had the chance to meet fathering Autism they seem so nice. I’m sorry about Yerbie, I hope he will get better and you can hug and play with him soon.
Just subscribed. Saw you on Fathering Autism's channel and I absolutely love your energy. Look forward to getting to know more about you. Keep on being awesome!
Awe I cannot wait to see what you do next. Thank you for showing everyone that a label doesnt have to stop you. Keep being you because you are amazing!
Hey shout out to you from Ky . I am so glad you ran into Fathering Autism bc I and straight from their channel. I really enjoyed your video chick! Looking forward to following you on your adventures! My son is 13 and autistic as well.
I love how you kept yourself calm while stuck on the ride. I know it’s easy to become stressed out because of the situation and have anxiety take over but you did awesome! Also, don’t be hard on yourself for not riding the Hulk, just think of it as a reason why you have to go back! PS- I just subscribed to your channel and can’t wait to see more videos, more of your wonderful/positive outlook on life, and your amazing smile! Hope you have a great day!
Thank you Cece! Thank you so much for subscribing and for your kind words. I will go back a ride that Hulk someday you are right! (Plus Spider-Man a bunch of times lol)
Wow, I love the amount of content to see on youre channel. I love the amount of people who watch. You really help spread the good word out there and it's wonderful to see your smiling face and learn alot about the differences but similarities of autism
Hey FRAND!!! I’m here from Fathering Autism and Lauren Brazee!! Can’t wait to get to know u!!! I’ll be watching as many of your old vids as I can!!! I can see a binge/es of Rebranding Autism in my imminent future!!!
Rebranding Autism nothing Cringey at all-it’s all growth and learning!! I can’t wait to get to know you better!! Your positivity, enthusiasm, energy and encouragement for others is infectious!!
Universal looked like so much fun! And so glad you were able to get through to FedEx and get your headphones! I'm glad you were persistent until they let you through! ♥️
Someday I'll Sleep Autism Vlogs thank you it was! I could have rode the Spider Man ride all day. I learned persistence from my mom lol, she taught me to stick up for myself. It took years of practice but I’m pretty good at it now
I found your UA-cam channel from watching Fathering Autism and this was the first video of your that I've watched but I really like you and you video so this definitely won't be the last video I watch! 👍🏻👍🏻 😁
Hi. I found you through Fathering Autism. I also watched another video of a lady that has a little girl, Ella. I love your attitude Jen! Thanks for sharing your videos. I don't have any kids with Autism, but I have a great nephew that is on the Spectrum. He lives in Jacksonville Florida, and I live in Nashville Tennessee. I am also a bus aide for our school system, I ride the special needs bus. We have a little boy that rides our bus, that has autism, so I have been trying to learn more.
Just started following you so I'm catching up on your vlogs. Jen you are so brave!!!! Where do you draw your strength from to keep going when you get overwhelmed/anxious? I'd like to do universal one day but even just watching this vlog my anxiety ramped up and I don't know if I'll ever be able to do it. Do you use any grounding techniques or were you born brave?
Thanks! Lol no I was actually born very shy and anxious. It wasn’t until My later adult years that I started forcing myself to try new and potentially overwhelming things. One grounding technique I use in crowds is to keep my hand on my friend or staff person while we navigate the crowd so that I know my “space” and then I keep my eyes down on my feet while we walk so that I’m not seeing all of the swirly crowd and confusion. This technique helps me A LOT!
Jen! I was so excited to watch this video because I wanted to see you get on the hulk ride....next year Jen, next year YOU ARE GOING ON THAT RIDE! 😁 I'm glad you had a good time though!
Rebranding Autism To be honest, I would have chickened out too, lol. You've been doing such a great job at pushing your self to try new things, so I thought that you might have it in you to do it. But if the fear is so great that it causes you to become physically sick....that's a good reason to skip it. Btw, I noticed that you have ads on your channel now! Congrats! Hope this helps bring in some extra spending money! You really deserve it, with all the work that you put into your channel!
Spiderman is my Mom's favorite ride. I like to go to the Hard Rock Cafe in Universal it's the world's biggest. I like the Popeye's water ride and I like the dualing dragon roller coaster at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
@@marietrini7784 ABA is a way of forcing autistics to behave more like NT people. (ie "normal". It's incredibly stressful.) Also, Abbie has not been asked if all the filming of her is OK.
Peter Langdale but Peter isn’t that okay. We all need help sometimes and if ABA can help Abby communicate better and have a productive life....well I think 🤔 any help is awesome. I don’t think Abby can decide on whether she likes the vlogs or not. I don’t think there is any harm being done.
@@marietrini7784 There are better ways that are way less stressful. Abbie has lots of meltdowns which indicates that things are bothering her. I have NEVER stopped my autistic kids from stimming, to look me in the eye or to do ANYTHING that makes them very uncomfortable. They thrive because I get them and are allowed to be who they are. They know they are safe and completely accepted for who they are, not what other people want them to be.
Peter Langdale so you are telling me that this family is not allowing Abbie to be herself because it’s the total opposite of what I see. I think she has meltdown s because she cannot verbally express herself. To be honest I to would hav3 them if I could not speak. In your opinion, do you think they are doing things wrong ? I don’t want to start trouble just curious to watch you had to say about ABA and this family.
I haven’t smiled so much during a vlog in a long time...maybe ever. I so wish I could be your friend Jen!!
Aww thanks 😊
So amazing to see this vlog and now a year later you were all on the Vlog Squad!
I love this.
It was so great to see the first time you met the Fathering autism family and now knowing what close friends you have all become. 💕
Came here thru Lauren and Fathering Autism, so happy I’ve found your channel!
Thank you I’m so glad you’re here!
I calm myself down by singing, too!
yup singing or humming helps a lot
That's so cool you met Asa, Priscilla, Isaiah and Abbie. They are fun to watch and are so real. I cant wait to meet them someday. Hopefully soon 😁
Yes they are really nice in real life too 😃
Wow...what a fun day! It would be awesome to meet the Maas family...I would be awestruck...LOL😁
Gurl!!! I saw you on fathering autism channel and on had to follow you! You are amazing!
Thank you Hannah and thank you so much for coming over :)
Love Fathering Autism!! Happy I found your channel!! Looks like you are having a fantastic time! Thanks for sharing!

Gah! Universal is so great! Spider-Man is one of my and my family’s favorite rides. We went two years ago for my oldest son’s senior year family trip.
I LOVE the Spider-Man ride! I’m going back in a couple weeks but I’m going to a different Universal park
My dog Coco has seizures! Glad you had a blast!
Fun vlog!
Aww hope he feels better
I saw you in Disney World what fun

Thank you for sharing your technique! I'm definitely going to keep that in mind(and write it down) for when I'm in similar situations!!
Omg my two fav channels meet in one video♡
So fun!
You are such a inspiration and such a rolemodel !! Now I got to get to watching more. You are awesome! But I know you already know that.
aww thank you Dena
Jen! I was so excited to watch this video because I wanted to see you get on the hulk ride....next year Jen, next year YOU ARE GOING ON THAT RIDE! 😁
I'm glad you had a good time though!
haha ok. Sorry to let you down Cai, I really wanted to go on it but I was super scared too. Maybe I will go on a smaller coaster and build up to it :)
Rebranding Autism To be honest, I would have chickened out too, lol. You've been doing such a great job at pushing your self to try new things, so I thought that you might have it in you to do it. But if the fear is so great that it causes you to become physically sick....that's a good reason to skip it.

Looks fun
ABbbies big brother is so good to Abbie
I hope your dog gets better

Spiderman is my Mom's favorite ride. I like to go to the Hard Rock Cafe in Universal it's the world's biggest. I like the Popeye's water ride and I like the dualing dragon roller coaster at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Dinsy is fun
Hello Friend
Hi Jennifer!!
Hello new friend!
Hi Jennifer 😊🖐🏾
Does your friend Alex have a UA-cam channel
Hi, no she doesn't :(
Rebranding Autism she should make a page u guys are cool
You're great Abbie's great but I hate the way her parents use her to make money and torture her with ABA.
Peter why d you say that ?
