  • What's the point of it all if she may never do it completely on her own? Honestly, a lot of it has to do with desire. She has no desire to do a lot of the things we teach her so not much effort is put into the task. She is certainly capable of doing so much more but how do you teach that part of it? Anyway...thanks for hanging out with us while we do laundry lol.

    I just don't understand the mentality of anyone "trashing" anyone else. It is just plain mean and cruel. Anyone who would actually read the title of your channel would know that it is "Fathering Autism". It is very clear for me that you are the vlogger and you choose what we see. I have been watching your channel since it's inception and I think you are both amazing parents who have worked out your chores in your relationship and no one has the right to judge you. I love each and every vlog that you have ever produced. Loyal viewer here!

    It perturbs me when people post negative remarks about this vlog. I have learned some much about autism, how it affects family, resources, programs available and tips to use to help accommodate learning or activities. I’ve never dealt with the challenges that the Maas family faces but I applaud the love and patience these parents have to help Abbey live the best life ever.

  • @lorinelson8605
    @lorinelson8605 5 місяців тому

    Pricilla does so much for their family. She does what she is proficient at and Asa does what he is proficient at. So many families who don’t have the challenges that this couple has faced (beyond what you see even) can’t make it half as long as they have been married so far and end up in divorce. I have been watching these people for so many years and I know these two work as a team. They have a system that works for their family and they should be so proud of themselves for the life they have created. Their team includes Isaiah. This young man is such an amazing human. He has been a support since he was a little kid. Their families and extended family has been a support as well. But from what I have seen, they have pushed through and fought through the system to get the help required to make Abbie’s life full and inclusive.
    Great work Priscilla & Asa. 👏🏻 😊

    Thanx Asa for singing a line from Weezer "Undone" now I'm restless, not tired & now singing
    "If you want to destroy my sweater
    Hold this thread as i walk away.....As i walk awaaay"
    Thanx man, thanx! 😉
    BTW: I'm using your technique, folding tee's. It makes them a smaller little package, which equates to more dresser space! 😁👍🏼
    That's a W for me!!
    I've bought those pillows that you can put as much or as little stuffing that you like. They are amazing pillows, i will NEVER buy another type of pillow as long as i live! They are Heaven! (Amazon)

    If they can’t find anything wrong with your truck, just go and enjoy your vacation. It could be a malfunctioning computer chip that was acting up and fixed itself. My microwave has a mind of its on, sometimes when I use it, it turns itself off and other times I have to unplug it to get it turned off and they said it was made during Covid so the chip could be bad. I use it as long as it does the job.

  • @lizzelloart

    I think that Abbie is much more cooperative with doing chores than most kids her age. You might have to give her step by step instructions but you have to do that with MOST kids. Abbie is doing really well! I love to watch your videos just because you are really an inspiration to how to keep your patience when parenting.
    And ignore the haters. My husband and I both spend a lot of time with our kid but rarely together, so if he has a vlog, you’d never see me. Hubby does all the sports + cooking, while I handle laundry and cleaning. This is called sharing responsibilities. It is perfectly normal and healthy for parents. It is such an outdated view for people to think that taking care of children is the MOTHERS job. It takes two people to make a child. It takes two people to raise a child.
    You are both wonderful parents! 😊

    My Honda CR-V threw out every code in the book on my way home from grandkids, one day. It was running fine, but of course I was worried. My husband researched this on UA-cam and it said it I'd common and told us what to do. They said to drive it around the block then slam on the brakes, that should reset the codes. It actually worked!! Had to reset compass and some other things, but it worked!

    @kwaktak 5 місяців тому

    As a fellow one time autism father (son is grown and lives in the care of others with more stamina) I can tell you that I push to have my son help with chores because it teaches delayed gratification. He also has anxiety and zero leisure skills (that are appropriate anyway) and there’s nothing worse for anxiety than doing nothing. Sure, it may feed the OCD but like I said in a way it keeps him busy and focusing on a task means that he doesn’t ruminate on things that are bothering him. Also, doing things with others also both models social behavior and reinforces social connections - because let’s face it, the term “itself” is inaccurate because I see the desire in both Abbie and my son to socialize with people who make them feel good about themselves.

    We all know Cilla makes guest appearances in the video lol, no seriously only joking. Most of us are aware and have heard you mention many times Cilla ( mom ) does lots of things with Abbie, majority of the times of camera which is her prerogative. I think Abbie is more perceptive than we think, as you said she might not do some things on her ever, but she does like to surprise you and us quite often with what she knows. Blessings.
