- So many great memories from when our girl was younger. She is growing up too fast. We found some video clips from that were used for her Autism diagnosis. Braylee is still the same awesome girl before and after the day she was diagnosed.

It is amazing to see all these children being diagnosed early with Autism. It took 21 years for me to be diagnosed. I guess in the 90's (when I grew up) they didn't know much about Autism
They are definitely able to diagnose much earlier than in the past and it’s very beneficial to the young kids with autism.
@@TheWeeFamily yes. I'm wondering if maybe in 2003 they misdiagnosed me with Attention Deficit Disorder, I was 13. 8 years later I was diagnosed with Autism, not as severe as Braylee or even Abbie (Fathering Autism), or Noah (Our Landing Crew), or Liam (Growing up Gantt(I think that's how it's spelled)). I asked my mom (grandma who raised me) if there were any milestones I didn't hit when I should have and she doesn't remember now, as I was a baby 28 (almost 29) years ago
It’s very possible that it was misdiagnosed. But on the plus side, you are diagnosed now and can better understand with that information
@@TheWeeFamily yes. Information from your videos and the other autism families videos help me better understand why I used to do things the way I did. Like Our Landing Crew posting a video called "autism and hygiene." It's an over stimulating situation
@@TheWeeFamily I also have autism
What a beautiful little girl. 💜She reminds me so much of my daughter. My little one is almost 17 months and will be assessed by the doctor soon. After her first meeting with early intervention the team told us that they are leaning toward thinking she does not have autism, but she reminds me so much of Braylee and how she plays (and not always responding to her name). Regardless of what happens my Tyranda is the best thing that ever happened to me and I love her more than I thought anyone could love anything. My best to you and your wonderful family.
5:45 - Staicy “ you want more blocks? “
Braylee be like: **I’m fine I just tear them apart and build them up again** 😂❤ I loved that part.
Also I’m impressed with how good she builds with the blocks, like she know hot it works and her mom needed to help a few times. But like my nieces at that age just keep putting them in there mouth or throw it away.😂❤ but I know every kid is different some how. I’m also autistic btw and I’m now a young adult. I love watching your videos, old as new, I’m learning a lot of the autism spectrum and I see a few similarities between me and braylee with stimming and stuff so your videos actually help me a bit to like realise and understand my own autism. Also I love how wonderful parents you are to her and make every second of her life the best you can give her, truly amazing loving parents!!❤❤❤ braylee is lucky to have you as parents❤❤❤
Beautiful video, wee fam! I don’t think you realize how impactful it is that people like you are showing the world a glimpse into your lives. As I said previously, my grandson is going to be assessed soon. What was a terrifying prospect for all of us a few months ago is now much less daunting. And it’s due to the autism families on CZcams, and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️
We love hearing things like this
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible daughter with us all, I can not express just how much she has helped me this past year, my motto is if Braylee can do everything she does then I can certainly leave the house for a few hours, I bet you never thought when Braylee was little that she would have SO much impact on people's lives around the world and she truly has, can you imagine how much impact she will have on people in another 10 year's, she's truly a amazing girl who's smile can brighten up everyone's day, you are truly blessed
I’m glad that she can help in that way! We definitely would not have thought that this was what our future would look like. We just love that so many people love and support her.
I love this video it shows your kid is your kid no matter what they have going on and parents should still accept them
Absolutely!!
Omg she is adorable
Thank you!
We have that same Christmas blanket! Also Braylee is adorable and maybe it's a blessing she'll never know the evils of the world to remain so pure.
That’s something we have definitely thought about. Some things she may not have to deal with in life.
A lot of love went into creating this video; it's perfect. You've shown that Braylee is a unique child, #SheIsStillAPerson
Yes!
This movie is what life is all about Family, Love, and Joy. Thank you for showing the world that a diagnosis doesn't take that away😊😊😊
the purest kind of love. These babies they are angels. We are lucky to have them. I believe in afterlife they will take care of us and God will smile on us. MashaAllah god bless you. You and your daughter bring joy to the world. Love.

Thank you for sharing such a precious video!!
You guys rock💪
I'm loving the baby) toddler Brayle videos/pics. My daughter did all the same things but not til she was a little older. We didn't notice anything different til she was about 2/2.5 n her pediatrician kept saying everything was fine. Then finally when she was 3 he said take her to Infants n Toddlers for her language delay n they left me to Child Find which led me to Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore where she was diagnosed 2 months before turning 4 after a year in the waiting list. She had already started preschool at 3 n began OT n speech in school before she was officially diagnosed with autism because before that they diagnosed her as developmentally delayed. Her's is considered moderate but her n B are alot alike.
It makes me so happy that Braylee was able to get diagnosed so early. Autism services have come a long way. I remember when my best friend at the time was diagnosed (we were somewhere between 4-7) and my mom sat me down and had a talk about how this isn’t something you can tease someone about and that it’s why he did certain things differently. I remember hearing my mom and his mom talking about how they wonder if it was vaccines that had caused it (this wasn’t long after that hoax came out)
That’s really great that your mom talked to you about it as a child! I feel not many do that, or at least not enough people do.
When I went to kindergarten in Austria in the 80s, there was a little girl, Marlene, that would come to join us for short periods of time, always accompanied by her Mum or Dad. I remember being told that the reason why she had difficulty talking or would have frequent meltdowns was that "She doesn't know the difference between herself and the world". It may not be an accurate description but I thought about it for years and it really shaped my understanding of how everyone's perception is different.
Oh, you can't keep doing this to me! Tears of joy or not! I am not a "cryer" and you do it to me everytime! God you are so beautiful and remind me how beautifully atypical we all truly are. Love you guys
I swear, David goes specifically for tears sometimes when he makes these!
She’s so cute! My daughter is almost 9 and diagnosed with level 2..their our precious little angels sent by God!
Awww... Baby Braylee! Still cute as a button! Great video you showed the doctors.
She's so cute and strong and so so so smart I love how she can make people smile from far away your girl has touched more people than you will ever know
We are always happy that she can bring a smile to other people. Especially in times like now!
I heart this vlog 100 times. I'm so glad you shared this. It just now showed up in my recommendations. Can't believe I haven't seen this one yet.
I’m glad that you like it!!
THIS video popped up and I just had to watch it to know it all started for you - The Wee Family. It's also very heartwarming as you put it because Braylee has not only taught you guys things she is also teaching the World things through her eyes. The picture of her asleep on the counter makes me just want to scoop her up and give her a Bear Hug 💛💛
Hello there o/ Nice to meet you. I have been watching some videos on your channel since months (my first encounter was from the short where Braylee plays with a grass, it's very cute!). This video then included along the watch, and no matter how many times I visited it, it give me goosebumps and strong feeling that I must also move forward.
Long-short story from me, I live in a city (diff country from you) where autism seem not be a well known topic, so I almost feel clueless about it by myself before. But during around my toodler age too, coming from other country I was vaguely diagnosed with it + ADHD. I say vague because it seem they're not really seeing it in me (they said I still give a kind of contact with my parent), they give question mark in the diagnosis paper. Growing up, when I was little I don't think I care much about this, but the more time passes I feel like having a hard time to communicate, even with my family members. I didn't stim much, I verbal and when comes to writing I will do by much, but it feels really hard to let my mind out, sorting the correct word (the doubtful question in head is this the normal?) feels hard. ... Being honest too it feels really weird if I say "I grow up". I always feel like I need to be take care of despite my age (I'm 23 as writing this), my kind of interest is also feel different to what other people around me consider as 'trend'.
So with my best I'm keep looking. In the last 1-2 years, the word autism and how it needs more attention feel like so much (a thing that I must confirm) to me. Until this point I was typing a paragraph draft, but it feels very messed up and this part may become a sensitive one, so in that case, I'd like to apologize in advance 👉👈 But it's like, I'm still not sure if I have autism (and it's hard in here to rediagnose), but even so, at the end I really want to know more. When people say autism is a spectrum (or at least it's different in each person), it's really interesting and made me feel like something strong in heart. And when I look at videos in your channel, I also feel something like this. When Braylee grows, making progress in life, it really made me feel touched. So it's like my 'identity seeking' and her growth somehow feel 'connected'. This may be a weird and unreasonable way to look from your channel, but I really mean it when I say I feel so much when watching videos from your channel.
Finally connecting to how this specific video also give me strong feelings, it's the message like, "Even when you're different, it's sure that you are loved, and you surely have gave something to people who loved you." (seeing genuine laughes from Braylee feels very heartwarming) Then like, although I can't exactly recall my memory in this (video's) age range, in some part of the video I feel like, "I may have this kind of 'world' in my past" (obviously not the same world with Braylee if this makes sense, but like having a world that only I can see), it's a really helpful documentation. The Wee Family has become one of an existence that feels like saving my life.
Braylee is a wonderful and sunshine-like child. I also saw the redirect video from this (one which records from Braylee POV), that video also makes me feel happy, I feel like learning more. You guys are also the great parents, it's really great to know that Braylee have such a caring parents, thank you so much for creating this channel and spreading a lot of awareness genuinely. (... You guys. The dad and the mom- H-how do I address in formal because like, sir and lady?? Because I can't write it like "Mr and Mrs are also great parents" I think- A-awkward english time english it's not my first language actually- :panik: AAKH-- I'M SORRY AGAIN-)
Then y-yeah I'm just- /hides in corner/ /shy/ (I'm sorry for coming like a random person with anime pfp and JP like name because of my interest- if you want to address me you can use "Adissa") (I'm sorry too because I also came with this lengthy comment and using this kind of languages) ... But I recently always feel like I have to thank you all, and this really feel like one of place where my guts is like "Maybe I can actually tell something and I have to do it." , and before this become any longer, thank you again and I wish the whole family to have great days ahead. Stay being awesome ❤
Just found this treasure.....her giggle warmed my heart
1:02 OMG that little babbas hair is the most delightful thing ever.
Well this was a wonderful video, great work guys...including Braylee of course, pretty sure that giggle of hers chipped some of the ice off my cold British heart ;-)
Her laugh is my favorite thing
Loving the baby Brayle hair. My daughter was born with a head full of fluffy black hair just like that n now it's brown. Same thing for me.
Braylee will always be yours & that I love about you both excepting her as she is for we all have disabilities in our own way none of us are perfect!
Awe, Thank-you for sharing the early years. She has always been such a happy girl. I have tears in my eyes, good ones. I know you would go to the moon and back to make your angel happy. She is blessed to have you both as her parents. Have a wonderful day!!! AMB...Rose
My son also has autism. He has taught me so much, and continues to. He is now grown.
It’s amazing that as much as we can teach them, it feels like they teach us more. ❤️
The Wee Family I couldn’t agree more!
Great video guys!!!!! So beautiful and so well done!!!! Such amazing work put into this video I'm sure to share your story and to help so many other parents out there!! God bless you guys!!!
OhMeeGootNess ! This level of cuteness too much 💖
I'm sure y'all have heard plenty about "all that hair " as a babe. I do love Braylee's giggles & laughs.
Hahah we did! When she was a newborn everyone was always telling us about all her hair. The nurses at the hospital all loved it. Never lost any of it either like everyone kept swearing would happen.
I hope one day everyone treats them equal
Reminds me so much of my own little girl.. My tears keep falling watching your beautiful little girl.. mines acts exactly the same she is 21 months old and I will be seeing a speech therapist soon and they might tell me she has autism based on all these videos I'm seeing about the symptoms... but we all love out children no matter what! ♡
What amazing parents you guys are!
🥰 thank you
Just scrolling through videos and saw this one you posted before I was a subscriber. It's beautiful, I love it so much!

She is too adorable;) You are so blessed to have a little girl like her ♡
We really are! ❤️
Isn't crazy the things that our kids did as babies and we Or at least I just wrote off as quirky? Loved seeing the old footage! ♥️
Yes! So many things we thought were just quirky cute, which they still were and are but also signaled other things. 😊
Yes so very cute! For longest time I kept thinking am I a bad mom cuz I couldn't get my kid to do xyz then when I finally got the diagnosis I was like oh ok now I get it and what can I do to help her.
Thank you. I have learned a lot about love and patience because YOU were willing to SHARE with us.
Glad we can help
She is so cute
The baby videos are giving me baby fever
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much for sharing her light with all of us. Also those cheeks and all that hair so stinking cute

So cute when she got in the box n then started putting papers in it with her like a little nest.
What a beautiful video 💖
Love her as a newborn in her swing love her hair🤗🌺💛🌺💛🌺💛🌺
Braylee was so cute as a baby h will always be cute!!!
Beautiful video weezners!
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize til this video that I was mispelling Braylee's name. I've been spelling it Brayle because in one video David was making her an appointment n I thought I heard him only spell it with one e at the end. Two e's is how I would think to spell it but I just thought u guys wanted to spell it differently. That's going to bug me now-a the comments I've left with her name spelled wrong. Lol
Just precious
You did an amazing job on this video! Xo
She's precious!
I absolutely love this video!!
👍
God bless she is so beautiful and has bring joy to the world
Great vlog with your little princess.
Thank you for your beautiful video❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Braylee is such a cutie. God bless 💓
I’m watching it again, don’t judge me 😂
SO SWEET.......
always love her for who she is
Hi, im trying to understand what are the autism traits ... Could someone please reply and list a few? Because I'm watching this video and I do not see any autism traits she just looks like a cute normal baby. I'm confused as to what are the traits. Trying to understand and not being disrespectful, coming from sincerity.
I'm a female mid-50s watched a video on female autism traits, and it seems like I have several.
As I was watching that video you said was used in her original evaluation at almost 2. I don’t see any issues.. she just seems like a quiet smart little girl whose attentive and playing with her blocks!
It Confuses me because each video I watch of kids who are showing signs and stims... just seems like normal toddlers to me! Some are shy, some are outgoing.. like there’s such a difference between each and every toddler and different personalities... how do you determine what’s what?
I am not an expert, what I can see is in that video she didnt look to her mum. She plays by herself all the time, even with the mum clapping, saying "well done", talking to her, she ignored her mum and played alone. Normally a tipical todler will look to the mother and share what they are playing/doing/learning
AUTISM IS A SUPERPOWER WHEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT. THE CONSCIOUSNESS LAYS ITS FOCUS ON THE EMOTIONAL SIDE AND THAT IS BEING FULLY FELT. AND A PERSON WHO FEELS FULLY IS VERY MUCH IN ITS EMOTIONAL INNER FIELD. IT IS LIKE DOING MATHS AND YOU ARE SO ENERGETICALLY INTO IT THAT YOU CANNOT FOCUS ON OUTER INFLUENCES. MAYBE JUST THE ONE THAT YOU PUT YOUR ATTENTION ON. IS LIKE MEDITATING EMOTIONALLY ONTO A FIELD. LETS SAY YOU REED A RECIPE AND YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND, YOU ALSO DON'T LIKE YOUR KIDS TO DISTRACT YOU. YOU ARE REEDING AND THAT TAKES YOUR FULL ATTENTION. AND PEOPLE WITH AUTISM JUST PUT FULL ATTENTION ONTO WHAT THEY LAY THE FOCUS ON. ALSO A BIT LIKE WATCHING AN INTERESTING MOVIE....LIKE ALL PEOPLE WATCH YOUR CZcams FEED AND THEN YOU ARE FULLY INTO IT. IN A SENSE YOU DO NOT EVEN EXIST CAUSE YOU ARE "SUCKED" INTO THE MATTER. YOU FULLY WANT TO FEEL IT AND SEE IT TO UNDERSTAND IT. THAT IS THE SAME. IN A SENSE ALL ARE AUTISTIC WHEN THEY WATCH INTERESTING TV.
This was great
She is amazing,how is she now?does she speak?
Beautiful baby
My daughter is 21 month old and she is showing some few symptoms of autism like very less eye contact ,not responding to her name and not playing with other kids.does same like your daughter.how is she doing now?does it gets better?
Y'all are so cute.
💕💕
How did you guys take bs binkie away? I have no idea or clue where to start to try to remove it from my son.
She stared chewing through them and we had no choice. We took them all away at once. And tried to offer alternative oral sensory things like crunchy foods, chewies, etc
How old was she in the beginning clip? The one where David was talking to her
I think she was somewhere around 2-4 months old at that time
I was just wondering cause she seemed like she was trying to talk.
Love the video btw...I always ask austim parents when was the first time they started to notice something different and if they had any developmental delays early on. My brother has autism on the higher end of the spectrum and my baby boys half sister has austim as well. She can speak but has a lot of violent stims and pinches herself if she gets upset in anyway. She will say things to strangers without a care in the world if it might be rude and doesn't understand that she shouldn't talk to strangers. She has no fear at all, climbs anything and everything...walks right up to animals.
I'm preparing myself in case my boy is on the spectrum and researching things to look out for and ways to help him cope if he does end up on the spectrum. :)
You have benefit of having the exposure and experience at least to be on lookout for it which is good. We didn’t really have any knowledge of autism before Braylee. Looking back saw signs at in fairly early infancy like multiple things 5-6 months. We were sure something was up and I was pretty sure it was autism around 11-13 months and she started in home therapy by 15 months. Some of our earliest identifiers were that she only played with things in pairs, she wouldn’t play functionally with toys, just dump them and put them back repeatedly or just bang them together, she had must stronger OCD tendencies when she was younger (before diagnosis at least), never tried to get help or show us something she found interesting (joint attention), didn’t smile in response to being smiled at, didn’t respond to her name (still doesn’t really), just lots of small things added up. For us, Braylee had so many clear signs that there wasn’t really a question.
😩😩😭😭😭😭 guaranteed to make u cry
Her smile and her laugh even as she was smaller is so precious 😩😍😍
It is my favorite!
Definetely...i started crying here at work...thankfully i work alone in security
😍😍😍😍😍 siete una bellissima famiglia
How old was she on the powerwheel? We been trying to get my son to ride one forever he just doesn’t get how to push the pedal to make it go
I want to say she was either almost or just over 2 years old? That was the extent of her powerwheel skills. She really didn’t use it much other than that one time.
Thanks for the response We have rigged them up before with tape and bungee cords so the pedal would stay Dow and the wheel would go in a circle but we discovered they make one with parental controls we def gona get him one lol he loves being in motion
Yes! I’ve seen those ones with parental control. The one we had was technically a “quad” and had a small push button on the handle.
💕
OMG u guys looked so young in the first two pictures.
I dont see anything
Hi how family ok
What age did she start walking ?
She was 13 months old
