- Her orientation day at school didn't go well and she had a bit of a meltdown.
The first day of school for an autistic girl and her neurotypical brother went well. We are doing great on our weight loss challenge. We were asked for some pointers for a first time IEP. Here's my answer and best suggestions or IEP tips.

My dad walked out on me once I was born. And then I see how you are, and it shows me that there is good men. If I ever get a child I'll support it and be the best damnn father ever
I love how the kids come out of nowhere when you say you have presents lol!
IKR!
It tickled me to death when you had her posing, she looked sooo cute!! Love how y'all get pictures of both the kids on their first days of school! Y'all are seriously the best family ever and I enjoy watching wholesome an sweet things! I know noone is perfect but y'all still get up with a smile and make the best of things even on the bad days I've noticed! Keep on posting and I'll keep watching!! 💖Ak

My mom worked with "special needs kids" and many parents treated their kids as a burden. It is so nice seeing you guys are so positive and happy. And you can really see that in Abigail. You guys are wonderful!
Priscilla is gorgeous!!! Her personality makes her even more beautiful. ❤️😊
Yep, she's a hottie!
Mindy chik Hi
Mindy chik she even wakes up looking beautiful.
I adore how she does things for herself. I also adore how patient and respectful you are, god bless.
What an amazing and beautiful daughter you have! X
+Georgia MariaXxx Thank you
And you're an awesome Father!x
I have autism and adhd
This is so inspirational to see there is hope , I'm a 12 year old girl with a 10 year old autistic brother I get punched kicked but forget me ,, my parents are so inspirational they have been fighting to get my brother into a special needs school and this video is so cool to see what my brother can be like 😊
I've never seen a father this involved in their children's day to day major props to you
If you're reading this , have a blessed and safe day❤
Thank you!! You as well!!
Awwwww that's sooooo cute he's such a great father
Mom wakes up.."Did you get a picture??" 😂😂 Lol, Cyrus is officially in high school this year....cried like a BaBy when he went in😳😭
( I did good though, I waited until I pulled away to start bawling! )
They way he lifts her up by calling her pretty/gorgeous is honestly so sweet.
Abigail reminds me so much of my sister, brings a smile to my face. I wish we could get my sis to eat food though..she will only eat fruit and then things like eggos. Lol
SeaSharp9 hey, at least she eats fruit and not just eggos 😂
Awwwe she's like Eleven!!!
SeaSharp9 do you know how old she is??
Trisha C oh ok she's eleven. Ok. Didn't know how old she is
Hannah Schaffer no eleven is a character in a tv series (she eats eggos a lot) lol she didn't mean the age :)
My mom works with kids who have autism and my best friend has a brother who has autism. Something that I have learned from watching each person is they all are different in their own little way. I love it!💕
Fabulous job...17#!!!?! You guys actually helped motivate me to change my family's diet also! This THURSDAY I am walking into our third meeting w the school board to create our first IEP. I'm scared, considered hiring an advocate but didn't want to come across as threatening just yet 😬. I'm a rookie, wish us luck. Thank you!
Katia F PMW good luck!!! 💜
Yeah, hold off on the advocate. Don't record the meeting or get a lawyer or anything until it's necessary. Nothing good comes from going in guns blazing until it has to happen. Best of luck.
FatheringAutism I wanted to update you and say THANK YOU! Our first IEP went very well, they referred my son to be enrolled into the Baudhuin Preschool at Nova Southern University, it's probably the best autism program here in South Florida. I'm excited, today's open house.
FatheringAutism thanks so much for sharing this video. I know at times it can be rough with having someone w autism. But I took care of some austic kids and also helped them with schooling. And I also have a disability also. But thanks so much for sharing this.
Katia L PMW I remembered going through a lot of IEPS. When I was younger. Well good luck everyone with their school yr.
Him posing her was so cute
I'm 19, and a lot of kids my age want to drink, smoke, and party. But for me, I don't like any of that stuff. I just really want a family of my own one day, and I hope mine is as close and as happy of a family as y'all are! Y'all are family goals!♡
I'm not Autistic, and no one in my immediate family is(my two year old niece might be.. but she hasn't been able to get tested just yet), but I love learning more about Autism! When my sister-in-law first told me that she suspected my niece may be on the spectrum, that's when I started researching and found your channel! I've learned a lot about Autism and more! Thank you!
♡Congratulations on 10k subs and 100,000 views on this video!♡
Awackles Art I can already tell that you'll be an amazing parent.
I wish you the best!
You are a very good father and man. I just found your channel and I'm really touched by how dedicated you are to your family!
Great advice,I needed to hear this. My son is high functioning and we are facing our first iep with his diagnosis. He has started school with out an iep at the request of the school and it has been a fight. We are now in the assessment stage and I can already see this is going to be a very long year,they are hardly willing to provide the bare minimum. They would rather send him back a grade than accommodate his needs.
You came across as recommended in my feeds today. Loved your vlog and just subscribed.
Our youngest daughter is also on the spectrum - she is verbal and high functioning. She has never attended school we have always homeschooled her. She is going into eight grade.
Your vlogs are a breathe of fresh air. Thanks for being so real.
I’m obsessed with Priscilla playing Mario
First video I've seen, im studying as a learning disabilities nurse in Ireland and came across your family and seeing how many adults end up in nursing homes (which I'm working in ATM) with no next of kin or no visitors breaks my heart it's so good to see parents and people who care so much , inspired. ❤️
Very interesting seeing you document you and your family's story with Abby's condition. Although I have a nonverbal cousin, I am still amazed by how different each individual can be who is on the autism spectrum. So glad you're in my subscriptions now!
i would honestly be STOKED if my dad brought me home printer ink. that stuff is hella expensive
Alexa Bosse I'm torn on which gift was better, Mario 3 or the ink....
“ did you get a picture?” 😂 I’m sorry I died when she said that😂♥️
Tell me why she looks like cristine from simplynailogical
Jennah Perez when she yawned i was like holy moly she looks just like her!! such a gorgeous girl tho
Jennah Perez OMG you're right!!! She looks like she could be her daughter!!!
Ikr the younger version
I know
I thought the same exact thing!!!
she's so pretty❤️ it makes me so happy how sweet you are to her, god bless all of your hearts! don't let anyone tell her otherwise cause she's gorgeous😍 & seems like the sweetest person ever.
I love the quote on Abigail's door
+Caedyn Mae Me too. It defines Abbie's life for sure.
I'm currently a para at an elementary school and majoring in special education and your channel has enlightened me so much! I feel like I'm learning a ton with every video I watch. You guys are doing such an incredible job. ❤️
love how abbie takes all the cereal stuff out and books it to a comfy chair
Priscilla, don't get discourage. It's quite common for men to lose it faster than women. And I found the scale numbers to be very discouraging. If you take measurements of your body it might help. The scale number may not be moving, but the diameter of your legs might be shrinking. You got this girl!
WOW! You are such a wonderful role model. I prepped my 5 y.o nephew for his first day of school earlier this month and it was bittersweet. He has made amazing progress ❤️ and continues to do so, but there is always that worry back of my mind that someone might treat him differently than the rest of his peers because he is so overly- friendly and loving towards everyone! He is just like any other precious 5 year old, and means the world to my family and I! I know he will continue to grow, I guess that’s just me being overprotective. Can anyone else relate?

There are compromises in every marriage. Her lack of knowledge in the field of pop culture and geekdom was a compromise I was willing to make...barely.

Yep, mine thought she'd never need to learn anything nerd, until she had one, leaving her outnumbered in her own house.
Is it common for her to have her head down? Over time her posture can change. Does she like wearing hats or sunglasses?
Priscilla Maass my autistic brother is the complete opposite. He won't leave the house without a hat and sunglasses on no matter what the weather 😁
Turkey meat is amazing for a replacement for burgers!! A lot more healthy and taste better!
Sophie Amantea agreed!!
Sophie Amantea Yeah I agree!!
Poultry is actually extremely carcinogenic and causes among the most health problems out of all meats. Not to say that red meat is any better, but turkey really isn't a healthier option.
Porn & Coco There was also a video done on UA-cam covering how animal products are responsible for the leading causes of death in America on UA-cam. I don't remember the name exactly , but I think it was pretty straight forward. Leading causes of death in America by Dr. Michal Greger? Something like that. They discuss how harmful poultry is in that video as well as the documentary, "What the Health". :)
I am so glad I found your channel! I have three boys, and the middle one is non verbal autistic. Watching your vlogs helps me realize my husband and I aren't alone in this journey. I'm still so clueless in basically everything. Just trying to figure things out one day at a time.
5 minutes into my first video from this channel & I already LOVE this family! 😁❤️
My daughter is high functioning, and watching you and Abigail really helps me to cope with parenting a child who needs a bit of extra attention. She recently started talking up a storm (she's almost 4!) we're still working on toilet skills (she gets the concept but at least once a day she will decide not to use the toilet, also most of the time she needs to be prompted to use the toilet) it's amazing to see how intelligent your daughter is, and that allows me to see the little things with my daughter. She recently started drawing faces, and learning her colors. It's absolutely amazing. Melt downs and bed time are a struggle but nothing our family can't handle. Her little brother is not even 2 yet and he already knows how to calm her when she gets over stimulated or frustrated. It's like he can READ her, understanding her needs when her dad and I are stumped. I love that your son is also so involved in Abigail's day to day living.. And we can only hope that our son grows to continue to be supportive and understanding with his sister. Y'all are an amazing inspiration and I'm so glad to have found your channel.
It's all good about the picture thing...my oldest sister is 21 I'm 13, and every year since she was in kindergarten we have done a school photo in the front yard, and it doesn't matter what house were in😂
Edit: I lied preschool😂 since she was in preschool (in the youngest of seven...it's a process)
" did u get a picture ? " 😂😂😍😍😍 yes I did Hun .
IEP’S, like with everything else in parenting: 14 years onto it, I wish I could go back with what I know now! My biggest advice: TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! And NEVER be afraid to ask questions. Ever. EVER. Your child NEEDS you to ask those questions.
I say that Abby should be a professional model. I am very srry if I spelled her name wrong. But she is beautiful. I hope this year goes great for her and her bro ❤️.
Both of my boys had iep and I'm proud to say my oldest no longer needs the help. His ended At the middle of second grade. I still have my youngest who's going to first grade and still gonna get the help. everyone at my kids school did an awesome job my son still gonna get another year with help calming him and learning how to sit still and more. I'm so grateful for all the teachers
You. Are. A. Fantastic. Father.
Did you get a picture
Yes
Goes back to sleep
😂
Wow the dad does everything. I'm used to the mom running around crazy busy, and the dad being at work weeks end. Way to go dad ❤️🙏🏼❤️ we have 8 kids
I think your daughter and family is precious!!
he was so disappointed with that printer ink like you could see it in his face yet he still said thank you #manners
I have an IEP meetings too
I just had to giggle when you were posing her on the stairs and she had her leg up on the step behind her and as soon as she heard the camera snap she moved back to normal position because she knew the photo had been taken. I am currently studying to be a Special Needs Assistant to try and make a difference in some of the kids lives. God bless yourself, your family and Abby.
I had a IEP when I was in school and mine was bs. They really didn't teach me anything or help me with learning anything
yes when i was in high school. where i live IEP or special need is call OCS (Occupational Course of Study) and they didnt teach me anything.
OCS is different than an IEP. OCS is designed as an alternative requirement to complete schooling towards graduation. An IEP is custom designed for each student based on their level and needs. The team and parents set goals for the year in the IEP and there is specifics on how those goals will be met. It's an intensive multi-page plan sheet that keeps everyone accountable if closely followed.
same! so i wanted to get an iep for my anxiety because my 504 was absolute bs, so they had to test me, in the past 4 years i took the test every year and out tested it. the point of the iep wasnt to be helped with trouble understanding, but it was for when i had a panic attack about given too much work in 1 night, getting overwhelmed in a classroom environment, etc. i finally stood up to them describing what i needed, and all i got was put in an academic support class. remind you i have a solid grade average, so YES i totally feel you ( also i normally am okay in class and have friends its just when the panic attacks would happen, no one helped )
I had my IEP FROM 6th grade through my senior year of high school. From 6th to 8th grade they taught me what I couldn't really understand in my regular clases. From 9-12th grade it was just support in classes like with homework,curriculum, talking to the teachers for me and with my tests.

New here but already in love with this fam. The dad-daughter photo shoot was so cute. When he fixed her hair and helped pose 😭😍 so sweet
She's the most gorgeous girl ❤️
I have an IEP. It is the best thing ever. It's the best thing ever. I have so many medical issues that if I didn't have an IEP I'd be so lost.
Try angel gaurd for the seatbelt. I use one for my toddler who just transferred over to a normal seat belt. It covers the clip so can't be unhooked(: you just squeeze to remove when you do want to remove the belt. Y'all are so inspirational. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Hey Guys, I Really like your videos. I like the fact that your real and It's not sugar coated. You have an amazing Family and Look forward to your next Vlog.
You men are SO darn funny together! We have an issue with breakfast too and I just watched a movie called "what the wheat" and it's so bad but what else could I do 🤷♀️ beautiful on your first day Abigail ❤️❤️ school is my chance to send water 😂 they have no choice but to drink it 😂😂 so when the doc asks if they drink water "yup!" 🙊🤣 drive it til it dies that's what I say about my pathfinder 10 years and still tickin 😃 short circuit yes! Johnny number 5! 😉
Abbies backpack is super cute !! Where is it from?
I don't know. Her friend Summer bought it for her.
We are bringing Declans new ABA therapist into our ARD meeting. Not as an advocate but as part of our team. Fingers crossed that it turns out that way. I have been very pleased with the outcomes of each of our meetings so far. Granted, we are only 2 years in. I think the hardest part for me is always when they have to read off where Declan actually is in all milestones compared to NT peers. I cry every time.
She's so precious! 💛 you guys are really good parents, she's so lucky to have you guys :)
Chemistry was fine and easy once you get the hang of it and lots of memorization and math skills play a role also
Great insight and advice regarding IEP. Thank you for empowering the parents. This is why your vlog is such a gem. You make us laugh, cry and think.
Question..
I've noticed occasionally, when Abbie has meltdowns, she will pull Priscilla's hair, pinch, (attack Priscilla). Does Abbie ever react the same way with Asa? (Pull hair, pinch; attack).
Yay for 17 pounds!!! That's incredible! Great job y'all!
Thanks!
is that a specialized car seat if so, where did u get it and also what's the weight
I go to a magnet school too! I wake up regularly just my school starts 20 minutes later than my zoned high school
Tori Har sorry, but what's a magnet school?
0241__0484 a public school offering special instruction and programs not available elsewhere, designed to attract a more diverse student body from throughout a school district.
Oh my goodness you have an beautiful daughter!
What do you think about homeschooling?
I think it's good for some, not for all. I don't really have an opinion on it one way or another tbh.
FatheringAutism I am doing homeschooling with my son till we move out of NC and I find a good school.
furyfox13 He has a friend he see everyday.
Maybe Abbie has gotten into a routine of having cereal, and just expects it. But other meals she knows will just be whatever is given to her. And it's good that she snacks throughout the day so she doesn't get hungry and in a bad mood.
@FatheringAutism I know I’m watching this a couple years late, so I’m crossing my fingers that you actually see this. I love love LOVE that you’re educating people about IEPs and parental rights in education. I am a special education teacher for students with moderate to extensive disabilities and support needs in the public school setting, and I found myself nodding along to your explanation of the IEP process and the parental role in meetings and the development of the IEP.
While the teachers, administrators, service providers, therapists, etc. may be experts in our respective fields, the parents are the experts in the individual child. I love when parents ask questions, and it is so important for the IEP team to work as a team with the parents an equal player on the team. And you are absolutely correct about FAPE and “appropriate” versus “best.” It’s not fair that the system is built to only provide what is deemed to be “appropriate,” and as a teacher, I try my darndest to do what is best for each of my students given the resources provided to me...this often means I’m purchasing things for the classroom out of pocket or working 10-hour days, but that’s not important. What’s important is that EVERY child receives equitable educational opportunities. I think the system is improving, and I just hope that it continues to get better for all students and especially those with disabilities.
Thanks for all that you do to raise awareness for autism and other disabilities. I found your channel a few months ago and have been binge-watching all your videos from start to finish. We’ll see how long it takes!! :)
She's gorgeous. I hope her first day was amazing ! ❤️💜❤️
Good IEP advice! I used to work in the schools. Going into an IEP with the idea of working as a team is 100% spot on!! Best way to handle it IMO!!
Such an awesome family!
You guys are awesome ! I'm truly addicted to your vlogs !! Keep up the good videos😬
I figured out with my son that if he has his bookbag then he understood he was going to school. If I used that bookbag for say a slumber party he would melt down when we got to the family members cause he thought we were going to school. Next year try going to open house with her book bag. Even if there isn't anything in it. She may understand that she's going to go to school.
Oh my son is 9 now. Thanks for any input!!
I love the mulch bed photos 😹
The look of disappointment on your sons face when you handed him his 'present' ...after Mom got a video game... and he got black ink absolutely broke my heart. He was so sad and it showed on his face.
+Mop Top He loves playing with us. It's a running joke because we always get things from Amazon and I never get any presents. -Priscilla
You have such a beautiful family. You are so inspiring to so many families. I really enjoy how you are sharing your experiences. You were right about the house staying clean when kids aren't there👍🏼 Thanks for sharing!
Also, keep it up Isaiah! Between football and the new diet you will be able to wear the lumberjack shirt as well as Alcid one day.
I am further in the video now and see how great you are all doing with your changes in diet and weight loss. CONGRATS I HOPE YOU ALL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!
Lol your son's reaction when you gave him the black ink.
Recommendation for the flower-bed photo, hold a car sun shade to block the sun... works like a charm( the fold in the the circle ones)
I love it. just stumbled over your channel. i love how you guys put yourself out there and show the world the actual side. It is beautiful and your family is too. God bless
I'm so happy for you guys y'all have a wonder family.Abbie is so adorable and she is getting so big love y'all

Abigail is so pretty! I love her hair she makes me smile
Abbie's backpack is so cute 💞
Hope she had a great first day and Isiah too!
She's very happy and so smart. Love your videos💕
I have no experience with autism and have no close relationships with a person with autism or someone caring for a person with autism, but I am so inspired by your love, care, and parenting of your precious daughter!
Props to your son as well, solid young man
You're entire family is so beautiful!
I just found your vlogs - I have to say, you have a beautiful family! I look forward to watching more of your videos!!
+Jennifer Thank you so much!
Anyone else notice how she looks like a younger Cristine Simplynail logical
You are both amazing . An inspiration to all of us autism parents . God bless you all.
Cilla is so much like me-first thing she says waking up us "did u get a picture?" Of Isaiah for the first day of school. Lol.
You guys are such amazing parents
That's wonderful that she was having a good day!
