That moment when Abbie grabbed Summer's wrist and led her across the room and all the smiles at Chic-Fil-A! Such an awesome vlog! I clicked so fast when I saw that smile on the thumbnail! ❤️
Cilla you are looking AMAZING! But the best was Abbie’s reaction to Summer! Completely blown away! Then a grab of the hand and her and Summer were gone! hanging in the bedroom like typical teenage girls! Adorable!
I have to say, how can anyone not love this child. She is just the best. You 3 are doing an excellent job giving her real life experiences to mold here. It just makes me happy to know there are parents that can and will do as u r doing. Brings a tear to my eyes because my son has a reading disability and it is trying at times but, what you guys do with that little flower is amazing to me. I applaud you guys, seems you are getting it done right or how it will work for Abbie.
Hello I've recently started watching your channel. I have a 7 yr old son who has not been formally diagnosed with autism because he doesn't avoid eye contact and because he is very affectionate. Your video popped up on my UA-cam as a suggestion and I'm so glad I watched it ( and subscribed). Your family has helped me to see my son in a different light. Just because the doctor that evaluated my son when he was 2 said that he wasn't autistic I have been fighting accepting how my son is. The doctor gave me the impression that if I just get him into school that he would catch up and be "normal". Your videos have helped me to learn to accept my son the way he is. Thank you so much for putting your life out on the web. While I don't go to Jacksonville too often, the world is a small place. Maybe one day we will run into each other. I live an hour west of you guys and it's cool to see a family that has similar struggles as mine so close to home and doing so well. Thank you again for everything your family does. I wish the best for your family and congratulations to Priscilla on her weight loss journey! She is looking great!
Priscilla, I am a very large woman and I really enjoyed water aerobics. They had a women’s only gym close to my house and I would go every day. It’s the only exercise I’ve ever gotten into. Too bad they closed! Maybe you would like to try that. Btw, you are looking GREAT!!! I’m so Happy for you. I wish I had the courage you have.
I found this channel on Facebook through triple P I love cooking but I’m also in a wheelchair with spina bifida so thanks for making this beautiful video! I love the bond between summer & Abbie and I loved seeing her so exceedingly happy to go with her girl friends and just be a normal girl and have a cookie have dinner and be super sweet and silly I actually cried happy tears!!!
I stumbled on this channel a few days ago and I seriously can't stop watching. I have no ties to autism at all- no one in my family has it, none of my friends or anyone in their family has it, but I love your family. Abbie is so sweet, you guys are so patient and smart. I can only hope to be as good of a parent to my own kids one day. Thank you so much for putting your life out there, you've taught me so much about autism.
I am a new subscriber and don't really know anyone with autism but what got me hooked was Abbie and how pure she is. I have the biggest smile on my face when i see Abbie excited and happy about things. I feel so proud every time she achieves something new or does something unprompted on her own, so I can't imagine the joy you feel as her parents every time she crosses another hill on her journey to more independence.
I thought that it was so amazing when abbey grabbed summers hand and took her upstairs her smile and laugh is enough to make anybody's day better I always enjoy all of the videos.
SUMMER TIME !!! What a wonderful relationship Abbie and Summer have, it is so natural. Becka, Summer and Isaiah are truly wonderful young adults who have such loving, genuine and caring personalities. You are well blessed with these three. Abbie would cheer up anyone's darkest days with that smile and giggle. Great vlog x
so nice to see her flailing her arms like that!my uncle Silas took care of disabled kids back home in the mid 90s to mid 2000s! he misses those kids a lot he says!its a small town and his farm didnt earn so much so he took kids into his care!hugs and kisses from Denmark!
I volunteered at first autism event today and had so much fun!!! It is because of your family and this channel that I final had the courage to follow my heart and spread the awareness of these amazing people. Thank you Abbie, asa, Priscilla, Isaiah, Maverick and best friend summer for spreading the love and inclusion to all message. I hear/ feel it loud and clear!
Oh my gosh Abbie's look of disbelief when she saw Summer. It was like yes I love you but you can't be here because you left. Then after the shock wore off. Okay people back off Summer is mine and off Abbie drags her upstairs. That was just beautiful. For those who doubt Abbie's ability to understand , comprehend or show any emotion need to watch this vlog. I love watching your vlog they always brighten my day. Abbie you keep showing the world you don't need words to communicate when you have so much love in your heart. Have a marvelous time with Summer and keep on stimming 💖💖💖💖
My favorite thing about Abbie is how true to herself she is. She's always like "Okay give me a second to process what's happening" and it's just so great to see the pure joy on her face with her friend being there. As neurotypicals, we tend to forget that emotions are selectable and Abbie is a great reminder that we CAN choose to be happy and excited, even if sometimes it's a little overwhelming or harder to process.
Seeing the end clip of you guys laughing and having such an amazing time with something so simple as edible grass shows you just what an amazing family you are. You see the love you all have for each other and i love it. You guys show just how "normal" as people like to say Abbie is. I think she is an amazing girl and from the binge watching of your channel I have done in the last week or so has shown so much independence improvement for her. I wish everyone knew about your channel there is so much to learn about not just autism but life itself and see the love you have in your family.
Her happiness is so innocent and pure. She reminds me of my son when he smiles its so beautiful and contagious I could watch it all day. She's such a sweet girl he character really shines through. She's extraordinary.
Just found y’alls channel yesterday and have been watching some of your videos. Love this, great to see a positive channel that helps provide awareness for autism. Always brings a smile to my face when Abbey has a burst of excitement! Keep up the great work
When Abby grabbed summers hand I just started crying it was so precious!! My cousin has 2 boys with autism and I’ve learned even more watching your channel and I now talk to her about stuff all the time and feel so much more knowledgeable because of you all! And I just want to say Isaiah is such a great kid and it all reflects back to the two of you!! I am so happy to have found your channel. My question is how have you both kept your relationship so strong? The team work you two have is amazing and refreshing to watch! A lot of parents going through a LOT less crumble but you both seem just so happy with each other it’s beautiful❤️
I love that you all and Abbie think of Summer as her “best friend” and not just a volunteer. I know that she’s become part of your family but those who are looking to work with small children or intellectually disabled individuals (regardless of whether or not they also have an autism diagnosis) need to understand that they don’t distinguish between personal and professional relationships. I only wish the HMOs or therapists who do the work for themselves and aren’t necessarily “called to service” got that. I think that that feeling of inclusion is mandatory in a treatment plan because a big part of a person’s effectiveness is their empathy and the rapport they build with those they’re working to help.
Abbies reaction to summer is priceless, how adorable! So shy at first hiding in the curtains, then super excited to show her friend to her room and her things!
I just love the love and support you all show each other! Seeing Abbie learn independent living skills is amazing. You guys have made me want to understand Autism..
Your family is always a bright spot in my day! Hi Summer! What an awesome surprise! Pricilla's and Abbie's reactions were so heartwarming! Cilla, lady you're looking amazing!!!
Hi your family is so much fun to watch. I'm so happy to see Summer & moma made me cry & Abbie was so surprised she looked like she didn't think it was really Summer. Loved that & Summer your as beautiful as all ways. Isaiah did you get the suit that had the blue vest & tie? I hope you did you looked very handsome in it. Are you videoing your prom night or at least you & your date before going?
Awww! Yall are so blessed to have Summer as your "bonus kid!" I also have kids I think of as my own. The girls' moms joke and say we share custody cause both girls spend every weekend at my house. They too are amazing girls! Abbie's smile and excitement is adorable when she sees Summer!
Aww, the video was so sweet!! Abbie was so happy! Her excitement just radiated through the screen. So precious! It was so cute when she grabbed Summer's hand to go upstairs. Typical teen; they have to have their "girl time!"
I love them all there made so much progress I loved when Abby grabbed summers hand and took her to go see chick fill,-a sorry if I spelt it wrong I'm english they have made so much progress love them. Priscilla is so positive and caring and kind. And Abby has made so much progress she's so positive to and she does bad sometimes but she Learns not to do it. Love you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I want to thank you for the education and seeing into your lives. Seeing your story and family inspired me to reach out to my local autism resources to find out how to volunteer. I don’t have anyone in my life with autism but I’m captivated and love to be able to connect to people of all abilities. Love the channel and hope to be involved with the community
Cilla! I can SO see the weight loss! When you were grinning ear to ear at Summer's arrival, your face looked slimmer than it used to when you would smile. You're absolutely glowing! 😍
What a surprise for all of us! It is always wonderful to see Summer and I love the girls out to dinner time. That edible grass segment was a bit much for me but you all were having so much fun, it was hard not to smile. Don't know how long Summer was able to stay but hope you all had a fabulous time with her.
I'm not really a person to laugh and get in my feelings when I'm watching blogs but watching your guy's videos always gets me in my feelings I laughed so hard when abby got the cookie out of summers hand and whipped her head around I loved it so much
Hi Summer. You have been missed. Loved Abbie's reaction to seeing you. Asa, you are hilarious! It really does look like you are eating grass. What does your family like to do together? Oh, Pretend that we are cows eating grass. Moo.
Wow, it's so sweet to see how much Abby enjoys and more importantly, NEEDS time with her friends. She truly does crave girl time and does indeed thrive with independence. ❤️💕♥️
SO awesome to see Summer again!! You all are lit up, you're so happy she is there!! My cheeks hurt from smiling! Woohoo! So funny the grass eating party at the end. Lol
I love watching this channel just to see how Abbie progresses. What did she learn new ? How well she is communicating I just love everything about this family❤️
When Abbie was eating the Easter grass after her dad and he told her to say moo. All I could think of was what if that turned into her first word. I loved this bit of a girl and her BFF. Both were so happy together. And Pricilla looks great! Jeans! Oh and Isiah , that ball totally creeps me out too.
I have a final English exam tomorrow in my university that is also worth 40% of my mark, so I know how Isaiha feels! Your supportive words to him are great, and even helped calm me down too, Priscilla!
Asa I’ve been watching your blog for like a month, trying to catch up, hours every day. This has gotta be the coolest video, to see how happy Abbie is when she’s out with Summer. Favourite episode so far. You’re an inspiration mate. Sending love from Australia
That moment when Abbie grabbed Summer's wrist and led her across the room and all the smiles at Chic-Fil-A! Such an awesome vlog! I clicked so fast when I saw that smile on the thumbnail! ❤️
И
I absolutely love the bond Abby and Summer have....Its one that can't be broken
it's great seeing Abbie's delayed reaction once she has a minute or two to process that Summer is actually there
Cilla you are looking AMAZING! But the best was Abbie’s reaction to Summer! Completely blown away! Then a grab of the hand and her and Summer were gone! hanging in the bedroom like typical teenage girls! Adorable!
You guys are such a lovely family. Hard working and special parents.
I have to say, how can anyone not love this child. She is just the best. You 3 are doing an excellent job giving her real life experiences to mold here. It just makes me happy to know there are parents that can and will do as u r doing. Brings a tear to my eyes because my son has a reading disability and it is trying at times but, what you guys do with that little flower is amazing to me. I applaud you guys, seems you are getting it done right or how it will work for Abbie.

Beautiful video Abbie is so happy to see summer again as is Priscilla lovely family ..
“We’re just gonna have to eat it straight up.” I just started dying and then the “moo baby.” I was crying so hard! 😂
I’m a new viewer, and I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last week! It definitely makes my work outs more enjoyable!
Priscilla is the best person to surprise! She has the best reactions!
Priscilla, I am a very large woman and I really enjoyed water aerobics. They had a women’s only gym close to my house and I would go every day. It’s the only exercise I’ve ever gotten into.

Abbie is a typical teenager, when her friend arrives she goes upstairs with her instead of chilling with the adults 🤗
I remembered this vlog, one of my favorites ..
