Stopped By Security | Near Autism Meltdown

- We were stopped by security on the way into our first Jacksonville Icemen hockey game and had a near autism meltdown from sensory overload and nervousness. She is nervous about escalators, elevators, stairs and pretty much every non-level walking surface. Now that she knows what to expect we will be back and next time will be easier. GO ICEMEN!

This vlog made me have a total mommy moment. I have 4 kids. 3 boys and my youngest is a girl. All three of my boys are protective of their sister. But specifically my middle son Jacob who is 14. He genuinely cares for my daughter Kendalls wellbeing. In this vlog when you guys were making your way into the arena, Isaiah has this look of absolute, unconditional love for Abigail and says "you okay? Say I'm nervous" with the sweetest, proudest, big brother smile on his face. Was the sweetest thing ever and turned me into a blubbering mess. I know you guys don't need me to tell you how great he is. But it's important that he knows it translates through the videos and doesn't go unnoticed. He's going to be an amazing father one day.....far, FAR away from now.
Thanks so much. I’ll make sure he reads this.
Oh it absolutely does! Isaiah is wonderful!
Rachel Lynn i
The first security guard said that diaper bags weren't even allowed......i highly doubt that!!
I doubt it as well.
exactly, how is a mother supposed to care for her small child ??
mary parson the first security guard sounded like she had an attitude to me and should simply be like okay I understand let me just check with my supervisor. No need for her other comments
@@rosemarybajraktari3013 so agree.
We bring a huge diaper bag backpack with us whenever I take my 6 month old somewhere and it’s always been allowed in stadiums. She just didn’t see a baby, so she made assumptions before she even listened.
I got panicky as soon as soon as the security guard were giving you guys a hard time with the bookbag and I waasnt even there. I would be freak out too like abbie.
Olive aka Olivia the lupus patient! I can imagine
YOU GUYS HANDLED THAT PERFECTLY
Abbie-cam is incredible brilliant idea and good job getting that diaper bag in
I love your videos!! Such an amazing daddy.
Kimock7 Two of my favorite dad's in one place?! That's awesome@
Kimock7 my two dad's lol the two of your are my freakin favorite!👍👍👍👍👍
Omggg my two favorite dadsss!!! I mentioned you guys in one of my final exam papers!! You guys are awesome!!
I think the issue about her bag could maybe be something to bring about awareness and training for venues and such.
i do a security job like this and yes we are told in certain situations no bags and generally there is no exception for the "average public" but if its medical needs and things that are required throughout then of course it's allowed! Usually we would give the bag a quick once over to make sure there is nothing dangerous or harmful to other members of public. In situations such as this we usually have already been briefed by the manger to give the all clear for this kind of thing.
Clare13 that was my question. Why not just examine it and move on?
I was thinking the same too, just have bag inspections in not those X-ray scanners, this is coming from a fellow autie
It is so heartwarming to see how determined you all are to giving Abbie new experiences, even when it means going somewhere knowing you might have to leave early!!!! I just love your fam so much you guys are my favorite CZcamsrs to watch :) ❤️
I liked that the supervisor was understanding that she has special needs and needs the backpack for her bathroom supplies
4:00 “mama”
Did anyone catch that?!?!?! Omg? Did she actually just say mama?
Hearing her cries broke my heart but I got so excited when I heard that!
Delilah Phillips she said mama
Heard it too. She's adorable, she sounds so scared. Hugs everyone!
"mama" at 6:12 also. She is so precious. One love
I heard it too! I got so excited lol
Delilah Phillips Also at 5:07 she said 'mama'.
Isaiah is the best brother!
Yes he is.
Well I wouldn't say best since best and worst are more subjective terms but I would say he acts extremely positively in my opinion towards Abigail which to me is fantastic.
Security can be terrible sometimes. I know they are just doing there job but some can be extremely rude.
Yeah, really they should be trained for special needs stuff too and to just sound nicer really because by the way they were talking I just felt sick by it.
Rebecca P well they got a supervisor but they didn't do it straight away like it's their first response which is a huge problem.
I have a special bracelet and card and a special bag that says "Attention Security!
I have autism, OCD and ADHD. This bag is important and has been approved to be taken though security checkpoints by law. " The bracelet says "SPECIAL NEEDS MAY HAVE TROUBLE COMMUNICATING" same with the card so security must read and must speak carefully as I may not understand and may get upset if I take it the wrong way.
Some people are just rude
Becca Breen that’s exactly what I’m saying.
You are so right and I'm glad you touched on the issue of security. They're just doing their job and there's no point in being rude or disrespectful to get your way. They have a job to do just like everyone else. Y'all are great! Always respectful, kind, and great role models for your kids and for all parents really. Good job 👍
Vero 1981 I'm just glad to see a supervisor come by with some common sense and also alleviate that pressure from his underlings.
So glad you guys didnt give up and kept pushing through. You guys are rock stars!
I have twins with autism. Imagine what my house is like!! Glad to see yours after an all-day at home with autism. People need to realize what we deal with! And I really hate security checks, too, sweet Abigail. And escalators, too!! Abbie cam is awesome.
Karla Akins whew! I feel like I need to take a nap in your honor! Lol
Two boys with autism here🙋🏼♀️ my house looks like it got hit by a bomb!
Im 22 and have a number of disabilities i have a diaper bag to. Sacurity is always a humiliating experience having to shout at people that I'm incontinent and need my bag. It really puts me off. Im glad that you did not give up.
Poor girl was so nervous and overwhelmed. Glad you all ended up having fun though. That’s really weird they don’t allow bags. Usually they just check inside and make sure there are no knives or guns or anything.
Our daughter is a nanny to two boys on the spectrum. When she knows they are going somewhere new, she shows them videos a day or so before.
Omg ..watching Abbie going in ..I was like oh no this isn't gonna happen..and then I see her in her seat dancing with a smile on her face ..its really nice to see her do different things ..cause alot of parents with autism children wont take there kid out or they over medicate cause they don't want to deal with it ..Abbie is so lucky to have the family she does ..if I was a child with autism i definitely would want you guys as my family ..you guys are great...love you Abbs
Isaiah is a cutie!! And the fact that he’s such a caring and supporting brother is even better!
This episode kind made me cry. To see Abby so stressed like that. But, I’m so glad you guys didn’t just give up. Your endurance and strength to fight for unity in your lfamily amazes me. Keep up the good work. 👍🏽👍🏽
I love the way that you guys constantly adapt to what works for you guys. Always trying something new and willing to become fans of something you may not have. Keep trying new stuff
This vlog made me so happy because it showed me that yall would do anything to make abby comfortable and make sure shes ok. It just made my heart warm. Thank you
single Mum of a low functioning non-verbal boy from the UK here....I know people say it to you guys all the time but you truly are an amazing inspiration....you give me the courage to keep pushing on....what you're doing is invaluable to parents like me....way more helpful than the so called professionals!
I hope you keep making videos for a long time to come....some days (many days) you guys are what keep me going xxx
Love you all and love this channel! I appreciate that you all aren't scared to show the hardships of autism like the meltdowns. Thank you so much for including the security bit and not fussing at the guards. You were calm cool and collected and that's probably a key factor why they let you in. If you were fussing and yelling the likelyhood they would make an exception and let you in is slim. This family is fantastic and amazing!!!!
Well done Abbie! She dealt so incredibly well with that environment! So brave.
you guys are so amazing and brave for taking her out to so many activities. she is lucky to have you.
You're son is so great. It's really touching. I'm proud of him.
Good job guys! Y'all are like the ultimate safety team...Abby is so lucky to have such an awesome family! Her smile warms my heart and makes me cry sometimes (happy tears)
I absolutely love how Abigail knows that you all are greet safety people and how you can see even when her anxiety panic kicks in she usually over comes it because of her trust and the patience and confidence you all give her.
Thank you so much for your uploads! Seeing Abbie really enjoying herself during the game really made my heart smile 😊 keep being such awesome parents to two wonderful kids!
PS love seeing people from my home state doing great things 💖
Abbie-cam was great i really felt for her for couple seconds of watching it. You guys do an awesome job.
Asa I really commend you guys for understanding the security was just trying to do their job. Crazy things have happened at events like this ! I’m glad the supervisor was able to let you guys in, it was handled well.
I love watching old vlogs and seeing how much Abbie has improved. Y’all are the ish!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Every video I watch gives me more hope! Thank you for what you do!! 💕
It's wonderful how you include Abby in so many of your adventures, and social outings as a family. She is truly blessed as are you much love, sent your way.👵🤗❤️
You guys are rock stars!! The way you handled the security and kept pushing through when Abbie was saying no way is commendable. You have so much patience with her and that is awesome!!! Loved the video!
I was so upset watching
I love how you are so strong for your family
her brother is one in a million
You are helping so many
I’m glad you all got to get in with the back pack ! I took my son, who is 2, last night to Main Events, of course he had a meltdown. It’s always good to still go out and do things as a family regardless of how the outcome will be and how challenging things can be .... glad that I get to watch your videos ..... its always great to see how other families get through obstacles everyday ! Love your family 🤗
I love what you guys do for the community and how you treat Abby like she isn't any different from you. You guys are truly an inspiration !❤
Thanks so much
You guys are incredible parents you truly are an inspiration ❤️ I'm glad you guys didn't give up!
You are an incredible family. Thank you for taking the time to do the vlogs - inspirational 🤗 xx
Highkey you guys are an amazing family. I love that you never stop trying and pushing. Isaiah ( I hope that’s how you spell it ) seems like an amazing brother and you guys are amazing parents!
Perseverance, amazing watching you guys as always. You push her outside her comfort zone and continually assure her it's ok and introduce her to new things. Great job parenting. A lot of parents of special needs or kids in general, wouldn't do this kinda stuff just to avoid the "hassle" of it all or to avoid a meltdown. Parents of all children can take a page from yalls book for sure! Just love you guys!!
Its amazing of how ppl don't get what you're trying to say about her bag ,but at the end you could bring it so glad ❤❤
Proud of you for working hard to give abby new amazing experiences. It can't be easy as new things can be a huge challenge for abby. GOOD JOB ABBY! Great work parents and bro!
Great video. Good job on staying calm and I love how you take Abbie to try new experiences. My favorite family.
Wow, Abbie-cam, with my earphones on - gave me a glimpse into how Abbie must feel and gave me shivers of panic up my spine. Brave, sweet girl. Thank you for sharing this with us. It was a real eye-opener and certainly a new viewpoint on how scary the world must sometimes seem to someone with Autism. Love to you all xx
I absolutely adore this family. Y'all are the true definition of what family means. You stick together and handle things like a boss! My son has autism and arenas are a tough spot for him too.. And boy does he try and avoid escalators like his life depends on it. Abby! You did great love 💙
You both are AWESOME parents!with an awesome brother! Thank you for sharing !!!!
Y’all are amazing and handling difficult situations!
So great you guys stayed cool and didn't give up either. I get panic attacks often and it makes it more difficult to be willing to have experiences like that with our asd daughter but I know it's important to let them know it will be okay and can even be fun!
Such a sweet family. Thank you so much for sharing . 💜💜💜
I know this is an old video but I still have to comment. I'm SO proud of you Abbie!! Seriously the entire time I was cheering for her! "Go Abbie Go! You got this!" So amazing to see her push through in these types of situations.
I am a new subscriber from the UK. My daughter is autistic and is 16. Her official diagnosis is "Higher Functioning Autistic Spectrum Disorder". She does well at school (although at the moment the stress because of exam year is really getting to her, she's depressed and anxious with sleep issues too) but socially she really struggles.
I think you were fantastic in the way you dealt with the whole evening, but particularly the security area. You stood your ground with respect for both Abbie and for the staff.
My daughter loved ice hockey at Abbie's age. We are lucky enough to have a rink and town team about 3/4 of a mile away from home. It is very much sensory overload at first, and always very loud. Once it gets going, the game goes by so quickly.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better through your videos 😀
chriggle1 check out my comment about vertigo, wondering other peoples opinions on the matter.
chriggle1 that's similar to my 18 year old.
You make me smile so much with the comments to the kids about their clothes or what's going on. So glad you got to explain yourself about the backpack. Poor Abby is freaking out.
Whew!! My palms were sweating! Abbie is so brave and just an amazing person. ❤️
I love it when she started hearing the music and really got into it! She is AWESOME! It hasn't taken me long to love that sweet/sassy girl!
So glad you didnt give up and walk away. She seemed to like it afterwards. This was 2 years ago and watching the videos of her lifes changes. Which gives others hope. If only we had help like this 20 years ago.
Also the way you handled the situation with security was really well done and great that you kept your cool and got your ponit across calmly, a great example ❤ They are just trying to do their job and keep everyone safe. I'm not sure everyone could keep as calm though.
So cool that you are taking your daughter to so many different types of events. Like I have stated in a previous video it is important for society to see others who have issues and to treat them with respect. Abigail did great and perhaps the depth perception can freak her out but good old dad was there to make sure she made it to her seat and she got to rock and roll to the music. So nice to see you all do so much together as a family and I am proud of big brother for being a protector and making no excuses for who is beautiful sister is. Blessings to all.
I’m so glad she had a great time I was so nervous for her lol! I heard her say mama a few times and it was so sweet. I’m a new sub so I’m binge watching you all. Thanks for sharing your family and life with us ❤️
I want to thank you for encouraging me to take my daughter out to events. I have an severe non verbal daughter with autism as well. I am a single parent with one child but you give me strength to make sure my daughter leads a fun filled life. Thanks so much. Love your vlogs
Sending much love and positivity to you all
Thanks for sharing ❤
Excellent guys , so glad all turned out okay for you all.
You guys inspire me everyday to keep going with my daughter. Abby is brave
every time I heard momma my heart sank knowing she's non verbal and doing her nervous cry for her momma.. y'all are such amazing parents!!
I’m glad you kept trying and I’m glad that she enjoyed it after she got there.
It's pretty awesome that you're a family that doesn't let anything deter you from trying anything new.
Hey again, I also meant to add....your room looks fantastic, Isaiah! Good job, buddy....and thumbs up for your parents for being sooo supportive!
a very good video for security understanding from both parents with special needs and audiences..
Another awareness brought up for the general public on special needs people..so that they can enjoy these outings like us. Thank you for sharing..and so glad Abigail has a good outing with just some anxiety.
Wonderful time. Thank you!
You guys are amazing parents and Abbie is a sweetheart X
Don't worry, Abby. Crowds, noises, crowded stairs and escalators, heights, and the general sounds of public places give me anxiety too. Proud of you for sticking it out till the fun! There have been times when I didn't make it to the fun and bailed.. You're such an awesome kid ♥
I'm so glad that I found yalls channel! My fiancees godson has autism and by watching your channel has enlighten me tremendously.
Wow! Great video! That really brought back memories of taking our son places when he was young. Having Type 1 Diabetes, he always had a medical kit with him and the same thing would happen to us. As he has gotten older, his pockets have come in handy for his things. I love watching your vlogs. I was a Special Ed teacher, started out in Jacksonville Fl (the Mandarin area) for 8 years and then moved up to N. Georgia. I also have a nephew with Autism ,Aspergers , and extreme social anxiety. Your family is adorable and is definitely educating people on Autism. Abbie is such a special, beautiful young lady, and Isaiah is such a wonderful brother and son. He also cracks me up all the time..he's hilarious!! :)
I'm so glad you guys understand how important it is to push Abbie, but not to the point of a breakdown. I think it's important for all kids. You guys rock!
You guys are awesome! 👍🏻
You are AMAZING parents for pushing her past her comfort zone, and making her see how much fun she can have if she gets past that uncomfortable part.
I’m so with Abbie! I never want to go out, but once there I’ll have a blast. Agreed they were doing their jobs. Awesome family!!
Great vlog ! Your family seems so blissfully happy .
I'm not a gang stairs either. I'm a very clumsy person and I'm always agree of falling. Glad everyone had a good time. I have so much respect for your whole family.
You guys are AMAZING and Abbie is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!💜💙
Great Job Abbi well done just started watching and are now I'm hooked.Subscribed as well i love how you both are very real about how you deal with your day to day life and the challenges you have with a child on the spectrum.
Your family works so well as a team!
Way to go! You've conquered another challenge. Great job. :)
Our family peeps on the autism spectrum are known to us as our “amazers”. They never stop amazing us with how they cope or choose not to cope in a new situation. Everyday is an Amazing Adventure taking the good and the challenges with as much grace as we can give. Well done, Abby!
I absolutely love and appreciate your talk at the end where you defended the security people. I know from personal experience how frustrating similar situations can be. But in the end security is doing their job. And frankly, my frustration is *because* they are doing their jobs so well! It's often times forgotten that if a security person were to let you in without talking to their supervisor, they would be risking their jobs, risking the lives of everyone in there (God forbid there's something malicious in the bag). Thankfully the supervisor was able to come down and remedy this situation. I'm just really thankful for what you said about security guards, because it's something I have to constantly remind myself of. I'm appreciative of the work they do, even if it means I have to spend extra time explaining myself and waiting for a supervisor. In the end, it's for the safety of everyone around me (and my safety as well)!
Good people. I grew up with tourettes and grew out of it. I'm 24 now and want to be an EMT or FIRST RESPONDER. Your family is so inspiring. Keep up ask the good work.
I absolutely adore you guys. Much love from new york
She said mama!! I am pretty new to the channel, i have learned what some of her sounds mean, unique to her. But i clearly heard "mama" as she was going towarss Priscilla in the isle. Go Abby. Thats so freaking awesome. I have learned so much from your channel. 🎈💓💓
Who gave this a thumbs down!?!? They need a hug lol.
Abbie is doing so amazing with all of her new experiences!
Just watched this video, and I get that you guys have to pick and choose your battles.. definitely the way to handle it....and security was just doing their job. However, I HAVE to say that prior to the supervisor....I just didn't get the feeling of much compassion from them. It stirs up so many feelings in me....I can only imagine how difficult that can get for y'all as Abbie's parents. It definitely reinforces the NEED for the awareness your videos are meant to bring about. I remember what society's reaction was like with my sister.....she was 15 years older than me....and there was very little tolerance or effort in understanding back then. I'm 50 now....and I just don't know that there's been as much of an improvement in that area as one would hope. God bless ya'll for your efforts in awareness. Something about this video, in particular, brought my memories "out of hiding". Also, been meaning to tell you guys...Asa and Priscilla.....my husband and I were highschool sweethearts. If ya did the math with the age of our oldest and the years we've been married....you would realize we have something else in common...lol. Unfortunately, we've seen a lot of marriages....followed by divorces throughout our almost 35 years of marriage. Congratulations on your dedication to not just throwing in the towel when the going got tuff. We understand, and I believe it's something that both y'all and us can be proud of! 👊
ill never be able to get over how adorable abi is!!!❤️
Yayyyy! So glad you guys had a fun family outing!! 😁😁😁
omg security made me angry thats so wrong but i know they were doing their job.
I loooove you guys!!! The bag, the security, persevering with Abigal and charging through the evening!!! Huggs that's not easy!!!
Fantastic... well done Abbie....lovely family night....
I am hooked on this little girl. Can't stop watching her.
Priscilla is so freaking cute like omg. Don't change anything girl. You're killing the game!!! Stay you girl!!
