Autism| The Last Week of Summer DITL
Welcome to Autmazing! We talk a lot about autism around here because we are a family with five kids and a mom who is autistic. We believe that autism acceptance is extremely important. We also post videos daily (or almost daily), about topics that we feel are important and sometimes there's a vlog thrown in too. We think it's important to see that being autistic is just that- another way of being human. You'll get glimpses of what's going on at the moment in our lives, usually in a little town in the midwest.
We are a family of 6, with a Mom named Cammie. Sadie is 15, Maggie is 13, Patrick is 11, James is 9, and Tessie is now 7!

When you say 15 apneas, do you mean total in one night or 15 a night?
@@suzannemoules6239 it was 45 central apneas in a night, and over 130 hypopneas, with desats into the 70s. They were more concerned with the hypopneas at the time.
You have so much talent. My gosh your bathroom is beautiful.
You got this. Great buddy system
Hi Girl I am a little late catching up on last 2 videos. You are looking AMAZING. Fantastic. Looks like you guys had a great fun day at park and lake.
"it is a lucrative field" please bear that in mind when a child thinks gender can be changed like a tee shirt.
It’s interesting how some people can’t let any important topic stand without trying to tie it in to their favorite talking point. Weird, right?
and you must have lived a very privileged life. thank goodness for that. however, for the rest of the real world, where punishment, neglect, unfair circumstances, trauma victims become nonverbal; all this happens without any dd's and the children become ??? parents of aba therapy recipients care enough that their loves are hurting inside and unable to communicate and ABA assists them in finding a voice, among a myriad of other assets.
The sad thing is that parents of children put in ABA think they’re doing what’s best for their child, while making them more vulnerable to abuse and putting them in a situation that has been proven again and again to cause trauma. But let’s not talk about that, right? Because it makes them more compliant and knowing the long term ramifications is really uncomfortable for the people who love to shove it down our throats. Yes, autistic children may benefit from different supports than their peers. No, ABA is not the answer. Causing long term trauma is not the answer. Even when it’s hard and uncomfortable for parents. History will not look kindly on ABA. We’re already seeing that. You may want to rethink being an apologist for it.
You have some serious skills there, Cammie, tiling is very difficult to get right the first time and it looks like you aced it! Beautiful job.
I watched "Rain Man" back in high school. It really did teach me what the signs of autism (at least in men) were that I didn't know too much about.
I lost the most important points because of too much unnecessary information 😢
My son has incredible memory, very routine strict, etc. He would absolutely remember the test.
its amazing as an autistic mom with all 3 of my babies also are autistic, to see them helping each other to be understood. i love ur videos!!! thank you so much!!!
Top video! Really...
What a shock! A preteen with a fully developed verbal complex versus one that is developing versus one that is minimally developed.
Are you losing weight? You look fabulous!
I was thinking the same thing
Lovely to see your Summer fun. 🎉
I haven't owned ear defenders, I know that they don't have any electronic parts, even so it didn't occur to me that they would be fine getting wet until I saw Tessie wearing them at the lake
The lake looks so fun love you all so much ❤❤
Great job mom..my kids were competitive swimmers from age of 6.. your last video made me extremely uncomfortable thinking about all the potential problems that could occur. I commented and you countered thinking it was " off the mark". Respectfully, any precaution i noted that could avoid a problem was given with good intentions. But you rose up and with the vests on, they actually seemed to be having more fun.
As an Aussie I had similar thoughts watching them swimming at the lake. Rashies are so much safer both from a water safety point of view (tshirts get heavy when wet) but also sun safety seeing as tshirts lose so much sun protection when they are wet.
What fun!
Hello, Autmazing Family👋🙂! So happy to see that you all had a great time at the lake and you did an excellent job on the bathroom🙂👍! Very professionally done! Thanks for sharing your day with us👍! Love you all and God bless✝️🙏🏻❤️🙂🌈!
I hope you take this constructively.. 5 kids in the water regardless of your proximity is tough to watch especially when they are jumping on one another. We saw one choke a little with water and all it would take is that it happens while another is jumping on them. I wish all kids would " be responsible " when asked but ground rules and precautions didn't seem to be in place. If there was a seizure and one of the kids went under..a brighter suit or some sort of floatation device attached might be the difference in time needed to bring a child up in lake water where visibility isn't that great.. or what if one eloped and you need to drop everything and leave them in the water with the older daughter? This may seem like overkill but look up how many kids drown a year. This isn't saying you aren't doing your job..but please consider floatation devices..( yes..even if they " know" how to swim) and maybe stop the jumping on each other where one kid is pushed underneath the water. Maybe even a discussion about how to exit the lake if you have to get out promptly.. this can all be done without ruining a good time at the lake.
Hi. I appreciate your concern. I was a lifeguard for eight years and a water safety instructor for most of those. I've actually had a lot of discussions, particularly before we go to the lake, about water safety, with all the kids. And they definitely know not to push each other under. Just because you don't see me having the conversation, doesn't mean it didn't happen and that's a pretty big assumption, right? We actually did get life jackets this past week, because the kids really want to do the paddle boats and I thought it would be good for them to have their own. However, with just about 99% of our access to water being in lakes, I appreciate that the swim lessons I am doing with out kids, aren't best done with a lifejacket on. So I'm working on balancing that. When we went to another local lake without the lines and lifeguard, they do wear their jackets. Anyways, again, I appreciate the concern. Water safety is hugely important to me, having lifeguarded in pools and at lakes. But again, the assumptions you made missed the mark.
I also was a lifeguard, swam competitively, as did my kids all the way through college and even to Olympic trials..but I was still overly concerned in lakes with limited visibility. There are plenty of parents out there that have experienced the loss of a child that they felt they kept a good eye on. While they didn't " push each other under" to have one ride the back of another small kid could be problematic if he was to choke. I know you are filming in close proximity with an older child present, please don't think that your abilities mean you can handle any problem that arises. Eloping, seizures,choking can quickly lead to attention being diverted from a child..something could even happen to you. Precautions can make the difference in avoiding a problem..and only a minute is needed to experience one.. I hesitated commenting because I think sometimes parents can become defensive of their kids which I totally get..but I gave you legit concerns that I would give to ANY parent..regardless if their kids had autism or not. I just saw the newest video WITH the vests! I complimented the choice you made as their parent to use them.. and by the looks of it, everyone had a good time.
Lovely memories
At 37 years old? Very late in life. My thought is this: how could your symptoms have been missed for this long?
God bless you
I’m here because my little girl is being evaluated but everybody has a different opinion about if she is or isn’t. Sigh it’s so confusing
Interesting, thank you for the vid. My nephew is like your boy...I only see him once a month and am wondering how to engage better with him + to learn more about his autism...
What kind of therapy might you suggest for someone who engages in severe self-injury? What has your research shown is effective to remediate that?
Is her eloping getting better now?
I live in Michigan too
I am autistic
I’m autistic and I rlly like turtles, that’s why I’m obsessed with tmnt
So, what do i do for my child instead?
Thanks for making this video iam autistic women and this is just how I feel when you are a autistic woman people just don't see how hard it is 😊
In my experience having worked as a BT in ABA as well as being on the Autistic Spectrum myself. Many ABA practitioners mask being nice people. When I went to the team meetings, it felt like walking into an Aldous Huxely distopia where no one had the right to be unhappy. Well when being unhappy about something is not allowed, then the BT's, BCBA's, and BM's are by default going to mask being positive and happy. Make no mistake though. The culture within many ABA companies has a bunch of back stabbers and drama queens. If you are an Autistic employee, they will immediately target you, put words in your mouth that you did not say, spread rumors about you, and do whatever they could to make the work environment uncomfortable for you. I wash my hands of ABA. It is abuse. Most ABA practitioners are fake and the ones who keep it real, don't stay with the company long.
Thank you for sharing your story about ABA and your children. The idea that a child should be "trained" to behave in a way that makes them more acceptable to others is abhorrent to me! Both my husband and I were diagnosed with ASD in the last few years. I was considered an "odd" child, a moniker that I accept with enthusiasm now. In order to try to survive the bullying that I faced every day at school, I became a mimic and a good actress. It was so bad that I felt like I could be myself only when I was acting in a play! I have used what I now understand as masking from the age of 6 onwards. I was fortunate to have parents who encouraged me to follow my passions and who loved me unconditionally at home. I was treated no differently than my siblings and so, while I was punched, kicked, and called names without mercy at school (I am an older adult, and back in my day, there was one teacher who went out with us to recess and lunch and they were usually tied up with the loud students who were misbehaving. As a result, since I was very quiet and was becoming more so as the abuse continued, the teacher never seemed to see me.) I went home to a sanctuary filled with love and peace. Many people could not say the same thing, so I am very grateful to my parents. ABA has always sounded to me like something I wouldn't do to an animal, let alone a human being. Fortunately for me, I was born in the early 60's so ABA had not reached our mostly rural area. Also, "girls don't have ASD" was a definite thought process at that time. I am so glad that my parents will never have the feelings of guilt that you have suffered. I would say to you, please put that guilt away. You have at all times been a good mother. You were given what was thought of as an ideal treatment by adults who should have known better. You are making sure that anyone who watches your channel understands the things you wish you had known about before making your decisions so that their children don't have to suffer ABA. I say you are a hero. Thank you.
Here's one of these I have since found out about autism: girls could not get this in any way. I thought for the longest time that girls were immune for some reason.
People always ask me why I laugh and smile so much
oh my god thank you for this. everyone keep pushing me to do ABA for my youngest because he does have aggressive behaviors. but its because of something he needs. its not out of nowhere. my husband and i try so hard. but ur suggestions are so helpful and we are so hopeful now. def subbing!!!
Your videos are very well done. Love the music too. 🕊🙏🙏🙏❤️
This video made me reminisce about the lake trip I took as a kid. It looks like a great time and everyone was so happy and kind to each other… I sometimes struggle with students fighting in my classroom (or managing 5-6 students in general) and it’s really cool that you could take everyone on a picnic and to the lake without eloping. Thanks for sharing the fun! It’s always great hearing Maggie laugh and everyone’s excitement.
Also I heard Tessie say “water” and “cold!”
ABA being the only evidence based method isn't true. In 2016 Active Musical Therapy studies shows how many on the spectrum end up greatly increasing the quality of life for those on the spectrum. Learning music helps with: short term memory, aggression control, (that part was proven), selective attention, and sensory perception. (heavily evidenced). After that, you have theatre therapy. That improves communication. These therapies actually improve neuro connections in the brain that may be tenuous or underdeveloped due to their particular autism.
I'm surprised the lake has a large shallow section!!! Looks like a fun place to be during the summer :)
Nice
I miss you guys may you please post more often ❤love seeing everyone have fun at the lake love you guys
You are a really great mom for your kids😍❤️my self is on the spectrum and I have to kids on the spectrum too. We’re doing our best and we can be proud of ourselves ❤️I love to watch your videos 😍😊Love from Norway🇳🇴
Thank you so much, Daniella. And thank you for commenting. I hope you and your family are having a good summer too. ❤️
This looks so fun! And the lake was pretty much empty just for you guys 😊. I love how all your kids are so kind to each other, and especially how Patrick and Sadie are so responsible 😊helping their siblings.
Thank you so much, Christy. I love watching those interactions too. I probably should admit that they also definitely argue like any siblings, but I think especially during outings everyone sort of looks out for each other. ❤️
Are you going to post videos on the 3 girls’ birthdays?
I might post some of the happy birthday songs, because I did film those, but I just wasn’t quite up to filming the whole days this year. I think I’m still in a place where holidays are complicated and I just sort of want to get through them. Definitely hoping to have the energy/ bandwidth to make at least weekly videos again though.
@@Autmazingno worries, that’s definitely understandable! First birthdays (or any firsts) after a separation/big life change can be very hard. Im sure you made all your girls birthdays special; you’re doing great Cami!
Who is autistic?
I love hearing Maggie's joyful yells in the lake lol 😅
I loved that too! I think I left in way more footage than I sometimes do because I just couldn’t cut out the happy sounds. ☺️
@@Autmazing it was fun! Especially since we haven't seen an update in a little while. And to handle all the kids in the lake is a feat! 😄 They all did so well and had so much fun!!
Long time no see! You all had a wonderful time at the park and a great time at the lake. So very happy that you all are doing fine and upbeat! Hope you all have a very nice rest of the summer and thanks for sharing your beautiful day with us👍! Love you all and God bless✝️🙏🏻❤️ ☀️!
Thank you so much, William. I hope you’re having a wonderful summer too!
@@Autmazing I am and thank you so very much🙂! God bless✝️🙏🏻
love this. Kids looked like they had fun. I have a 9 y/o with down syndrome and ASD 3. I' ve been slowly buying camping items and building my courage to take my son and daughter camping for the first time. 😊
Thank you so much for watching and commenting. ☺️ I hope you all have a wonderful time when you do go camping. I think we’re going to try a backyard camp out for the second time this weekend if the weather is good and I’m slowly building my courage too, to go camping somewhere other than our fenced backyard.
