Autistic Girl Had To Leave Restaurant

- Abbie had to leave the restaurant after getting worked up. She does really well at handling a loud environment with lots of sensory input but she often gets to a point where she can't handle any more. I had to take her out of the restaurant for a little bit. It doesn't stop us from going though. She's come a long way.

It comes up every time so I wanted to make sure I addressed it. "Autistic Girl" isn't a label. I often title the videos and descriptions to accommodate search engine terms. It helps our videos to be found by new people thus helping spread awareness and acceptance. Happy Thanksgiving #MaassSquad
I am thankful Abby and the videos
@@mistyross8108 Awww
I am thankful for my family and very thankful for you all i love watching your videos they make my day happy thanksgiving and Abby you are doing so good
FatheringAutism That’s crazy that you STILL have to address this!!!
I look forward to watching new videos
Little does that lady know abbie brightens thousands of peoples day daily
Abbie cheers me right up! When I come back from work I check to see what she's been up to, every day. I'm not American but I'm thankful I found Abbygirl xx
I agree I watch because Abbie snd your family makes my day! You are so great with her and sharing her and yourselves with us!
demi has a opinion I liked what that customer said. You shouldn’t have so stay home because a family member is autistic. Everyone has a right to be anywhere they want to.
For sure 😘
That lady is 100% right, people with special needs deserve to have the luxury’s we have. Yes we may be asking for behaviours by doing things but at- least we can go to bed at night with the thought “I’m giving them the best life possible”. I volunteer with special olympics and Work with special needs, and I strive to ensure that i make sure they live life to the fullest. There is not many people like this unfortunately in the world who will put in the effort fully. But I’m glad that we are those type of people. Abby is amazing, she has parents who work hard, who give her the best quality of life and I may not know you personally but I can see thru these vlogs that, that girl is one of the happiest girls and she loves her mom and dad and brother! You guys are such great parents and I hope I can continue to learn from watching you guys! ❤️
Love seeing the clip of Abbie in her younger days. You have come so far and endured much. Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your inspiring family💕MamaMiaof5👶🏼👧🏻👦🏼👱🏼♀️👩🏻
Way to get out in public, Dad and Mom!! So proud of Abbie!!!
Not being judgemental, I have an autistic child an being in pubic like that, with all the noise, is hell for her. It will never be something she'll get used to so why do it?
@@anneanne9009 That's simply not true. With time and persistence and consistent exposure, de-sensitization can occur. I have twins with autism. They started out quite severe, licking the floors and melting down everywhere we went. Now, they are amazing 24-year-old men who handle public situations very well. Now, that said, every single child is different. What one child responds to isn't what another will respond to. However, there are evidence-based practices that do help children with autism overcome fears and struggles with times in public. We all sometimes have a bad time in public. People with autism are no different. I've been in stores and restaurants before that I couldn't wait to get out of myself. It's not impossible and if Abbey is never exposed to these situations, she'll never get the chance to learn how to cope with her feelings. We learn by doing hard things. We don't grow if we don't try.
@@KarlaAkins1 We can agree to disagree, autism is a spectrum. Yes, their coping mechanisms can increase, they can go to school etc, but I think it"s a mistake to think you can 'normalise' them. Sure, they will get it, but it's hellish and kinda cruel really. Yes they cope, are they happy, are they okay and are they not living in a contant state of stress and anxiety? Who knows? I'm sure they know how you want them to answer that question.
Have you thought of noise counseling headphones? I have Aspergers and it’s we can hear everything at once people talking it just blends together and sounds like noise I can’t understand what’s being said when everyone talks at once and every time a fork hits a plate it can be heard

Im in recovery from addiction. Watching your family and your struggles puts my petty issues into perspective. Thanks c
rachie woo I don’t think your issues are petty just because they’re different! They’re still struggles for you. I’m glad you’re working towards recovery!
Congratulations that's awesome
rachie woo hope you’re still doing well in 2020 💕
Me too, that's y I watch this channel, congrats on your recovery
Seeing Abbie push open that door and start putting those packages in without any prompts or gestures ❤️🥳👍🏻
I dont celebrate thanksgiving (im from the Netherlands) but im thankfull for finding your family. Im learning from every single one of your videos and im using some of your tips at my work with kids on the spectrum. Everyday is a joy watching your beautifull girl. Thank you for that! #Masssquad
🇳🇱
Ayyyyy 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 (Also I agree. Abbie and this family are so inspiring)
As a teacher in a self-contained autism classroom, I have to tell you how much I enjoy your vlog. I know what it's like for me as a teacher, but I don't think ANYONE who hasn't experienced parenting a child with autism can really understand what it's like for you. The amount of patience and love it takes me in my 8 hour day... you have to have exponentially MORE than that to do what you do. Thank you for bringing autism awareness out into the community in a very real, tangible, and honest way. Knowledge is power and education fights ignorance. Way to go!!
I'm so thankful for FatheringAutism and the entire Maass Squad! Thank YOU for doing what you do: for entertaining, for bringing awareness, for breaking down barriers, and for being a friend. I'm glad to have found you.
I can attest to this woman's statement. I have been suicidal in a restaurant and some times a child's smile and a wave and change everything. Keep up the great work, Abbie is a wonderful person and you are an amazing family to be envied.
My daughter is special needs and I know how it's not easy to go out and eat in public or when the child becomes overwhelmed by the surroundings. Greetings from Tampa Bay, Florida
As someone that has a bother with high functioning autism and I worked fast food we had this one girl come with autism and I helped their family on rough days she was my favorite person to see.
I am thankful for my 4 children, 10 Grand children, and 11 great grand children. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
I’m thankful for my son, he means the world to me and he has taught me so much. He’s a true joy and a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving!
You guys are great parents.
That is so sweet that somebody said that. I get stressed when taking my son out cuz ppl just stare at us and upon occasion i get dirty looks and ppl have made comments about him. Ppl are just rude. Glad u met someone nice. And abbey u did good, i would of had sensory issues being in that loud of a restaurant. I love seein how much progress u make.
Watching old videos but I also got into a weird phase of watching pearl opening videos ALL THE TIME one summer, something about it was just relaxing and satisfying to me.
Iam thankful for my life and the ability to keep learning at the young age of 62. Thankful for wonderful people who help teach me ( all of you are part of that )
Hey, Im from netherlands. I just watch this for no reason than I enjoy it. I just like you guys. Even tho I don't need the info for autism. You guys are just great.
Watching older vlogs before bed. I would love to see more videos of Abbie when she was little. They are just too adorable for words. If you guys have more, an entire episode of old Abbie clips would be amazing
I'm thankful for my family and the time I had with my mom
You Tube recommend your page for me. And I have to say I am extremely in AWE in how supportive and loving you all are for Abbie. You are all so so amazing
When in the restaurant I would inform the staff about Abigail's condition so that they're all prepared with cups with lids and also mentally prepared for a bit of a different experience....
Keep well and safe guys..
Lots a love from Bulgaria...
Sweet
😁
Ivan Jdrakov I would have called the restaraunt and told them what to expect to prepare them .
I love seeing Abigail as a little kid. You can see the progress she did over the years and this shows how good parents you are to her.
I completely cried at what the precious lady at the restaurant shared. That touched me to the very core. As a teacher and advocate for special needs, I am thrilled at this feedback and how she took the time to tell you. I am thankful the awareness that is happening through your channel. Thank you and your family!
Watching this has made my day seeing how calm you guys are makes me feel like I need to be more less stressed about life ❤️
I am the father of an autistic child like you and we also broke the norm by leaving the country to live by the ocean in mexico.. The ocean has been an incredible healing power in our life, My wife and i have watched all your videos and we will continue to do so, we are even thinking of folowing your steps by offering a view of traveling with an autistic child.
Thank you to your you tube channel. I’m pretty new. I work in a primary school. Today I have worked with an autistic boy of 3 who wandered in our class from the playground ( I sent a message to his teacher to say he was with me.. and an autistic girl of 5. I’ve been working with children for 9 years in different year groups, and I have to say I feel I am better understanding autism, communication difficulties, behaviour etc since watching you guys. I whale had training, I’m at uni Blah Blah Blah but nothing like watching a family in real time, dealing with real situations. Just thank you. I love my job. I love it more now as I feel deeper understanding of how to be the best help I can be. Patience. Bless you lovely people xx
Don’t you love auto correct. Whale 😂 :). Happy thanks giving to you all
Abbie loves dropping off the mail. She was so excited. The noise always causes meltdowns with my son in restraunts. Your so patient and understanding with her sensory needs. We're thankful to you guys, too. I've learned so much from your family. Bless you.
For the Restaurant. What about bringing one of her fine motor skill activities to keep her distracted. Like the things she does at school. I know when she's really amped up it won't help at all. But it could help a little.
✌💛
I am so glad I found you guys.I have ADHD and often have trouble communicating and following multi step processes, even at 40mumble years old. It is a learning experience for me when you explain some of Abbys behaviors and how you are teaching her AND how she learns. In the past I have worked with disabled adults, all of whom had some brain related diagnosis. From Seizures, strokes, TBI's and yes, autism as well. This has explained some things I never knew and will help me in the future when I meet new people who have autism and other things that are all part of the same family tree.
Thank you for being so open about the day to day struggles and joys of your family. You are all so very special and the worlds needs more of the love that you share with all of us.
You guys are such amazing parents and Abbie makes me smile every time i see her 🌞
I am thankful for the 18 years I had with my dear husband. He taught me so much about life and love. I lost him July 24th and miss him terribly
My grandson has been diagnosed with autism. I just want to let you guys know that you are an inspiration. You give me hope for a happy healthy future for him. Thank you.
Watching these older videos and your newer ones, I am absolutely impressed at the progress that abbie had made. You guys keep up the awesome work!
Thanks so much!
Abby you make my day too!!!
I always watch before I go to sleep....love you all soooo much!!!!!
It was so sweet to watch you Abigail on the bench. A beautiful family....
I am thankful for you guys! Abbie you are so amazing and you inspire me to keep going everyday. I was born with Microcephaly and find it hard sometime but you show me that I can get through anything and be strong.
I've got really bad depression, and I know that Abbie definitely cheers me up! She makes me smile. She's so sweet!💞
Thank you for your sharing your life with your beautiful daughter Abbie with us. I just found your channel. I am a special needs assistant and I love working with children like your daughter. Thank you all
Abigail makes my day everyday, she is one lucky girl to have an amazing big brother and two fantastic parents, much love from the uk 💞😊💜
as I have been watching the old videos and the new ones, you can see so much progress in Abbie.. she is had so much progress in her communications skills and using her hands and all, even though she is non verbal, she is using sign language and all to tell you stuff, she is so precious, and that lady in the restaurant is so right Abbie smile and all makes me smile and happy.. I am glad that you take her out and do stuff.. Love you guys so much
I am thankful for people like you. Showing the world about autism. My son has moderate autism but we have our good and bad days. Thank you so much for what you do. One more thing I'm thankful for is my children. They are 6yr old twins urijah and leigh-anne.
Thanks guys for all! Much love from Uganda-Africa...I like Priscilla's laughter
You guys made my day. I've been struggling all day, and I thank you for this video.
Abbie reminds me so much of my son. The only difference is my son is verbal. We have struggled with him in stores and restaurants his whole life. We have to stop him from shoving all his food in his mouth all at once, usually we give hime bite size pieces one at a time. Otherwise he will choke himself, then he will gag non stop for a while.
I love your v logs. I have an autistic niece who is 20 and it gives me an idea what it is like for her. She is also non verbal. Hello Abby and family.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives. Sending love your way!!!❤️❤️
we took our kids to a restaurants yesterday on vacation. both of my kids are autistic, both are verbal though. One of them couldn't handle the sounds in the restuarant or even us talking to his sister to help her decide what to eat. I had to take him out of the restaurant for 30 minutes to calm down and read the menu in silence with his headphones on. the waitress was very patient with us but the table next to us arrived and ate before we got it together to even place an order. Days like that we tip double what we normally would. It's good to see Abby using utensils. Yesterday, I had to argue with my daughter to use utensils for pancakes in a resturant and the same for my son and a salad. My daughter told me that obeying social norms is optional and she doesn't need to use utensils if she doesn't want to. Well, I guess it's progress that she knows it's a social norm. Life is challenging, but we move forward and progress where and how we can. Thank you for blogging, it's nice to remember we're not the only ones going through these challenges even though I know the challenges are not exactly the same, it's still nice. My daughter is 12 and was diagnosed a year ago. My son is 10 and was diagnosed this past week.
Such a sweet video of you and Abbie sitting on the bench until she was ready. I love those little moments. Great job to Abbie for conquering that overwhelming loud restaurant. That is awesome. She has grown so much even in the little bit of time I have been watching!!
I’m from the UK so we don’t celebrate thanks giving but as I lie in my hospital bed recovering from a bad case of sepsis and yet more surgery I have to be grateful for the health that I do have and the fact that I am recovering from this setback.
Hope you all had a happy thanksgiving, you have such a wonderful family to be grateful for and thanks for this video, I love seeing the older videos of both Abbie and Isaiah when they were younger.
Hope you start feeling better soon!
You’re children are so sweet. Watching this is helping me to see the person and not just the autism. I’m also enjoying the family dynamics you have. This vlog speaks to people in so many ways. 🙂
Omg!! That video clip at the end of her trying to feed herself reminds me so much of my son. He is 8 and we are still working on self feeding very much so. He has a lot of the same mannerisms as your daughter. I just started watching your videos and I love them!!! They kind of show me and outlook on what could be expected with my son. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful family with the world.
I'm in Canada but want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for all you do to bring awareness and acceptance to the world. I cannot thank you enough for how you have blessed my life. Love you Maass family. Many thanks once again. 💕💕💕💕
Asa, you are an amazing father so patient and loving. Thank you and your family for the awesome vlogs and all the hard work that goes into filming, editing and dedication thank you! I hope you had a wonderful day today.
I've been watching awhile, but this is my first time commenting and making my presence known, so to speak. I don't know anyone with autism, I've never been impacted by autism in any way. I'm just a 23 year old woman working full time and pursuing my career in HR. I just want to say thanks, not only are your videos providing a place for people who are impacted by autism, but also a place for people like me just browsing the youtube and coming across an amazing little family just going through life with their own uniqueness. Thanks guys! I would have to say I'm thankful for my happiness, because there have been times where I haven't been sure if I could feel this happiness again and it makes me appreciate it that much more.
I'm thankful for finding you guy we just found out my 5 year old nephew is autistic and watching your video's help so thank you for being you.
My son is completely handicapped, in a wheelchair, relays on others to do things for him and non verbal. A few weeks ago he was on his way into the er to get his finger looked at, and he grabbed a lady’s hand and kissed it ( he loves giving kisses) and I of course said I’m so sorry for that.and she said no no I just got the worst news possible and that just made my day.
Seeing Abbie and her smile everyday makes my day, we all go through struggles through our lives it’s how we handle them that matters most. She is a courageous young lady, and you, cilla, and Isaiah are so amazing with her. I love watching you’re vlogs
Happy thanksgiving to your family from us in the UK ,the lady in the restaurant was right I’ve suffered depression since I was 13yrs old and I’m now 56 I absolutely love watching Abbie and she certainly cheers me up when I’m feeling blue.x
Awe Asa such sweet words. A very moving vlog. Im grateful for community. Happy thanksgiving to all US viewers
Love the Abbie throwbacks! I bought four ornaments and I am writing a little note with the ornament telling about Abbie, your family, fathering autism and what Mass Squad has become! Spread a little awareness in our gifts of Abbie's ornaments! I'm so excited! We are thankful for the maas squad family we have all built here and all the love they show your family and really do laugh with you and cry with you! True friends are hard to find and I feel very blessed at this group, brought together by a precious little girl and a father wanting to make the world aware of his amazing daughter and the blessings of having someone in your family with autism! Bottom line, I am thankful to Asa, Priscilla, Isaiah, and Abbie, a humble family who have taken a chance and put themselves out there to pave the way for their daughter and spread autism awareness and understanding and now we can jump in all over the country and create awareness! I'm so excited! Thank you for being you!
I feel so sad when i see her have a meltdown breaks my heart to see her sad or upset and not being able to tell people whats wrong or bothering her ?😭i cant imagine what it would be like not to be able to express my emotions as i do
Your patience is second to none amazing !!!! Cheers !
I love how understanding and supportive you are of Abbie!
Your family is amazing. I always feel so uplifted watvhing you guys. Hugs from.NZ
The best pearl party group/videos I have found on Facebook are the Georgia Girls. They are autism/special needs moms and so helpful with questions and advice as well as great product. They also do custom tumblers and other products too
I'm tearing up as I write this so if there are mistakes, please overlook them. I want you to know that I am thankful for you all for two reasons. Number one is that I am a Mom of three neurotypical kiddos (two boys and a girl) and one neuro-atypical son with autism so of course I love watching Abby grow and thrive. Reason number two is a little different. I lost my father in January of this year. I was his 24/7 caretaker for the last few years and I have really struggled to find my own soft place to land in my "new normal" life. Losing a parent rocks a person's world no matter what their age. After finding your channel, I have found myself smiling and appreciating life again. There is something special about Abby, Isaiah, and your entire family that just makes me smile. So please know that if nothing else comes of this channel, you have saved this Momma and as a result, you've helped my four amazing kids. After all, a kid can only be as good as the people who there to love them. Im finally finding my groove again and being the parent my kids need and deserve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
Love, hugs, and prayers from my family always, Heather.
I am thankful for my son with ASD. He has taught me so much in these past 7yrs. And I am thankful for my older 20yr old son for living his brother in a way nobody else can he make him feel like one of the boys and that is so important. And I am thankful for you guys cuz I don't feel so alone in this.💙💕💙
Aww Abby melts my heart..Good job Mom & Dad! #MaassSquad!
I’m a new follower just catching up on older vlogs. I LOVED this vlog!! So amazing, I love how you took her outside to give her some time to settle herself. The shot of Abbie & Asa sitting side by side on that bench was so sweet! You both are such wonderful parents, it’s truly amazing. Look forward to your vlogs each day. 🌸💐😊❤️
I’m thankful for you guys and that you’ve shared so much of your lives with us - you all truly make the world a better place!! 💙
Abbie is very charismatic. Love light and peace. Stella UK.
I must say..just discovered your channel and the love that you all share as a family is very beautiful...inspiring! Love your channel!
Bless her heart. She did so well to get as far as she did. You could totally sense she was unsettled from the beginning of the restaurant. But seriously, I never ever get tired of you doing things & absolutely smashing it ❤️
I jus luv u guys thank u for your openness and allowing all of us into your family! Ms.B from Chicago.
It’s morning here in Japan and I like to start my day watching your video! We don’t have thanksgiving here but happy thanksgiving !! Love
What do you celebrate on our thanksgiving day or do you even celebrate?
Jessica Bunch we don’t celebrate anything!
I live in New Zealand and we don't celebrate Thanksgiving either, although we do treat Christmas as a time of thanksgiving I guess... 😊
こんにちは！！猫が本当にかわいい〜!何歳ですか？
よろしくね❣
It IS different! You guys are a part of my life in a way no other CZcamsrs have or will be. I can't even describe how much I look forward to your vlogs every day. Thank you guys for sharing your lives and family with us❤
Happy Thanksgiving I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and I am thankful for my family .
We THANK YOU guys! I appreciate seeing what you guys do as far as outings with Abbie and how you get through different situations.
I'm greatful for my brother, who is just as an amazing brother as Abbie's! As well as staff, who are more like friends, because they have taught me how to communicate, Use my voice and spine, selfconfidence, selfrespect, selfworth, selfasteem! ILYSM❣
I just want u to know I started following ur channel all because of Abby .She has this light in her that needs no words .It shines with all she does.Thank u for sharing her with the world .
I love that you have people around you and a lovely community. I had to move over 5 hours away to find that sort of inclusion. This weekend past my son managed a large city cinema movie, The Sea Life Sydney Aquarium and a multi media interactive Star Wars identity Exhibition in a major museum for his 16th birthday ... He loved it and not a single issue. Amazing how far our Autsome Kiddos can go with the right people around them. The way you manage Abbie's moments when she is having a hard time ... I wish my son got that in those formative years. As much as I tried, I was not supported, and I always felt like I let him down until we moved and learned to support each other.
I love that you added the video of Abby when she was little she is so precious
Happy Thanksgiving!!! Thank you guys for all you guys do! 😊✨ I also wanted to say I'm thankful for my wonderful boys and family!
You guys consistently do alot for me ty God bless u all!!💜🙏✌
Happy Thanksgiving guys... It is so nice to see other families that go through similar things... Good job Abbie!!
I really have to thank you folks for showing the reality of what can happen when you take Abbie out and she has ALOT of difficulty handling whatever is going on. Most videos of Abbie I see the bright, smiling girl, who might be vocal/flapping hands, etc. And, I guess I then think that it must be easy to take her out. I see that it is not always like that. Thanks for showing... it... all! Much love.
Abbie is the cutest lil thing🥺
Thankful for my husband who is now cancer free for two years. Almost lost him during his chemo treatments with an allergic reaction. Thankful for our two cute puppies who just turned 8 mo this old.
I am thankful for you guys too because without you guys I will not know how to talk or how to react to my brothers brother-in-law.
Abbie make me smile all the time, she’s such a sweet girl. I get teary-eyed when I see her doing new things. That smile of hers with those little dimples is so cute. 💕💕
Seeing Asa sit on the bench and interact with Abbie melted my heart. You guys are so patient and such awesome parents. God knew what he was doing when he gave Abbie to you two. ❤️
I am thankful for the Maass family. I've learned so much from your channel. Its also a nice getaway from my regular life. Your family makes me see things in a different light. Not everything is black n white. Also, watching this channel makes me feel as if I'm not aline. Being a single parent, i get that feeling a lot!! So thats very important!!
You are a fantastic family and a awesome advocate for autism 🧩 I have autism myself your vlogs inspire me to carry on smashing my boundaries and my phobias sending love to Abbie and family
IM THANKING FOR MY DAUGHTER N GRANDAUGHTER AND IM SOOOO THANKFUL THAT I FOUND YOU GUYS ON HERE WHEN I DID. I LOVE Y'ALL AND ABBY MAKES ME SMILE WHEN IM HAVING A VERY DEPRESSING DAY ;) SO THANK YOU!!
That womans comment made me cry. I'm so thankful she reached out to you guys 🥰
That is so sweet of that lady what she said whenever you guys were eating at the table.
Thank you guys! You’ve taught me so much, inspired so many, and opened up and let us be a part of your lives ❤️
You are such a good father. Not taking anything from your wife. I live this life with 2 boy's 11 and 13 i love to watch to not feel alone. Thank you.
