FatheringAutism coo pons 💯
FatheringAutism hey just wanted to inform you on an app it is called life360 you login and add all the people that you want it tells you when your child gets to school if there are crimes or other bad things near you if your child was on their phone when they are driving how fast and everything like that I am only sharing this cause I know how important it is for you parents to know where and what your child is doing
We actually have that app and love it! Thanks though, it's a good recommendation for others too.
I have a tough time with anxiety, and public places just like that also can give me a bit of sensory overload. This was a good reminder of just how privileged I am to be able to fully express (for lack of a better term) when I’m overwhelmed. Abby is so lucky to have awesome parents who are so attentive and in tune with her needs.
A food shop we have in Australia now has "Quiet Hour" every Tuesday for Autistic people and people who don't like noise. Music gets turned off, lights go down. I'm so proud of us
I usually skip parts of videos with sponsorship talks but y’all make it sound so natural and not annoyingly out of place. Killin it as always ✨
Agreed!
I agree!
I agree. They’re also very upfront if they’re sponsored, whereas some people try to just pretend they regularly talk like that when they obviously don’t. And they also always be sure to sponsor things that they know work well and that they like.
I have fallen in love with your channel! I am a Special Education teacher in Louisiana, and have taught several children with varying levels of Autism. They are such special individuals who have taught me so much. Abigail is beautiful and has such as amazing smile. Thank you for sharing your family with us!
I was so proud of her for overcoming the overload in Hobby Lobby! That was such a big thing that she got anxious and was able to do so well! Her ability to manage was so impressive!
Both Mum AND Dad are just constantly calm and reassuring and positive and I just love this channel!!!! I have a little bit of overwhelmingness in my life and you help me -your ripple effects are much bigger than you realise!
I’m glad your cashier was being nice and patient with Abbie. Sometimes they can get frustrated but I think it’s great that you’re practicing with her in a public situation and with other people who might not understand some thing that you do, and I’m equally happy the cashier didn’t get frustrated or anything!
My son is the same way. Sometimes he brings the correct item. When he does I praise him like crazy thinking he will remember but if he’s not in the mood he will just ignore me. He’s acting like a teenager at 10 already. We have a chickfila next door to our house. We love it. Yay to free food...thanks retailmenot.
This is my new favorite channel!!! I LOVE that you guys follow through with her throughout her every day routine/environment. I wish more parents were like you!!!!!
I’ve seen dozens of retailmenot videos in the past month. I really liked yours and I actually watched it. I LOVED how much you incorporated it into your day!! It wasn’t just a quick clip. You did a great job!
Abby is just beautiful and when she smiles she melts this grandma's heart. I love your family and how you work together.
Sensory overload scrambles *everything*. Good job, Abbie.
Okay I'm super post partun and hormonal right now but watching you help Abbie put her straw in made me feel all weepy! Those are the type of skills I help my little toddlers with; bless you hearts for all you do for your precious girl!
Abbie did an amazing job!!! You go chick a dee. Also walmart causes me to have really bad anxiety attacks. Every time i walk in that awful place i prepare to have one. I sing (out loud) this little light of mine while walking around that filthy place it helps but still i avoid it like the plague. If i can get it some where else i do, if its at walmart the hubbers picks it up.
Wow watching this vlog has me in tears that explains Autism symptoms I've had all my life hearing Abbie's experiences. You guys have helped me learned things I never understood especially with the depth perception like things just don't look right on a bad day and I have trouble walking wow this is so hard to type thank you guts for your videos.
I watch your show every day and it makes me happy it helped me understand how to really except certain people and how to deal with people that have problems
Maybe its the bright light that affects Abbie as in supermarkets or shopping places they have really bright lights.....But you can see how far Abbie has come on with her ABA and how well she did with food and putting things in bin so proud of you Abbie you amazing girl ❤️ xxx
Gemma Fletcher I was thinking the same exact thing with the lights
Erin LeCroy i play football (Soccer) for disabled team and there little lad who has Autism like Abbie and bright lights effect him too so it maybe that but am not 100% sure but could be
She was looking up at the ceiling where the lights are, which is a hint that Abbie is bothered by the bright lights.
Noticed the same thing. Abby congratulations on handling the shopping trip so well.
a friend of mine got sensory issues after radiation to her brain, she said she could hear electricity in florescent lights , she said it would sound/feel like tiny high pitched bees , AMD she said after she left stores she could still hear it , her doctor said it was tinitus (sp?) but she said she had that too but that this was different , it actually gave her panic attacks and made her feel faint cause she could feel it too , weird dont know if it is realatable but hey, oh she also said the long bulbs that were flickering or about to go out were the worse, she is better now
Beautiful girl! God bless her. 🌹
I'm with you, Abbie. My anxiety gets to me in certain stores more than in others and makes me just want to get out of there. Good job getting through it! Asa and Priscilla, good job recognizing what was going on and being reassuring. =)
I worked as a cashier at Hobby Lobby for months! When he said, "What's that one craft store." I literally said Hobby Lobby the same time she did and then screamed with excitement.
Hi. I love your channel and Abby. She is beautiful . I have been working with children with special needs for the last 26 years. My students past and present had made my job worthwhile and each of my students have touched my heart. I have learned SO MUCH from each and every one of them. God BLess. Michelle from NYC.
My baby just had her vsn surgery last night. Prayers plc. IV been missing your videos hope you all doing good. My baby is very tried
My friend is researching autism for her senior project and I shared your channel with her. You are all so inspiring and I'm so glad to be a part of the Maass Squad 💕
When Abigail is having severe sensory overload I want to give her a hug 🤗
Well done Abbie!!! Good on you for keeping on going and pushing through 😀 That sounds like a breakthrough to me! 😊
I don't have sensory issues, I had a breakthrough with myself recently, I have a fear of pain say something that might sting. I'm 25 years of age, and about a month ago, I got my ears pierced for the first time!! 😁
That's the best thing about life, no matter how old we get we never srop learning, and that in itself felt like a massive milestone achieved, just like with Abigail, good on her for sticking at it! 😁😊😀😄❤💙💜 xo
I'm SO EXCITED for anything food related on RetailMeNot because I am a poor college student who loves a good deal!
One LAST comment ....I promise....it is SO WONDERFUL to see how much happier you guys are since going full time YouTubing.....it's like the creative juices are just flowing....and y'all just have a happier presence....I couldn't be more happy for ya! Well deserved!
Priscilla, that is one cute blouse! I love cobalt blue on white.
You both are truely amazing😍and your sweet spirit and getting Abbie to get do things .Love your teamwork ❤
GOOD Job Abbie. Proud of you
Asa, I have depth perception issues, with our autism, and curtain Walmart's in my area of PA freak me out. Proud of Abby.
I know this videos is several months old but I just found your channel about a month ago and I’m going back and watching older ones and I have to say it’s QPons LOL! I love your channel.
I love when Priscilla says her catch phrase! It always makes me smile!
All of that plastic and cardboard in the trash at lunch has my oregon self making this face: 😱
Britanee Lilly haha, Im west coast as well, (Seattle), and whenever they tell Abby to throw plastic in the garbage, I’m like “Whaaa?” Lol. They don’t recycle in Florida?
Even in the U.K. we’ve got to work out where in the heeeeck which thing goes where... last time I went out to eat was with another wheelchair user and add in Asperger with BPD and well... I nearly cried at the end of the eating
I thought the same thing, but not all fast food places recycle in Canada. Also people don't sort garbage properly so I am sure most goes to landfill.
Florida probably isn't too big on recycling. I'm from northern California I'm 33 we've been recycling EVERYTHING all my life, LITERALLY EVERYONE DOES! I lived in Oklahoma City area for a few years recently and I was shocked almost everything gets tossed in the trash. Very little gets recycled in Oklahoma.
when Abbie struggled in the store it reminded me of our visit to the usa with our asd son when he was 3.5yrs. He was fine in most stores except Walmart and old navy for some reason they caused huge sensory overlode resulting in very distressing meltdowns. He is also a very selective eater but on that trip he started eating hotdogs, bbq sauce, sour cream dips with garlic bread sticks and pancakes ….. all of which he still loves now! p.s we are on Asa's team...we say 'coopon' (coupon) in the uk!!
That has to be so frustrating. For her! I get sensory overload when I got out too places . The noises kill me! I never been diagnosed with autism, I do however have fibromyalgia. Since that diagnosis. I’ve become sensitive to sound , light and TOUCH. Abby did great.
Retail me Not is Awesome, I didn’t know about the Genie. I used the link in the description to download it and I’m so excited to save even more money!! Thanks!!
I don’t care what anybody says but you guys have an absolutely beautiful family and I love watching your Vlogs
Yay. I love retailmenot I’ve been using them since 2001. They have saved me sooooo much money.
Its def Q-pon .. and aww abbie shes done so well. Its milestones for her and she doesn’t even know it. So proud wipes tears. Shes just perfect.
Priscilla is such a good mom! It melts my heart 😩❤️❤️
Was able to download the Retail me not app, but we don't own a desktop so we were unable to install the Genie. We love to shop at Fred Meyer. Please think of our little family, Good Luck to everyone!! Abby you are so determined, even when things get hard, keep up the good work!!
Large stores like Walmart and Hobby Lobby are full of all kinds of sensory assaults. The lighting, the way the aisles are laid out and the smells from artificial scents (those chemicals go straight to the limbic portion of the brain, and the limbic portion deals with emotions and the "flight or fight" feelings, amongst others) can all cause sensory overload. By you saying that she acted scared and was unable to walk properly I would imagine that it is something that she cannot control and thus, not something that would need to be challenged. But of course, I am only seeing a tiny bit of your day, so this is just me, sharing my thoughts. I have sensory issues from Chemical sensitivity and I cannot go into either store.
And this is exactly why it's so wrong that they take her to places they know she'll have issues.
Those opening Vlog SMILES😀❤️!… so beautiful Abigail
Omg hi I’ve no stopped binge watching your videos I LOVE them
Love retailmenot, although it's always good to keep in mind that anytime an app is free, you are the product.
Abbie’s smile was needed today 😘
From Oakland to Sac-town...😁😎 Abbie has good taste! 🎧🎶
Hi, i love your channel and how informative your channel is and Abby is so sweet and so smart! What a wonderful family you all are! I was just wondering what you mean when you said “her sensory intake” I’ve been watching this channel for a few months now trying to understand autism more.
I just started watching your channel again after about a year and ABBY IS SO DANG CUTE
Abbie has the most beautiful smile love your family keep up the awesome videos 💓
Kudos to you Abigail your amaaaaaazing!!! ✨✨✨
Informative as always, thank you. We don’t seem to have the app in the UK. We all know they are vouchers lol.
As a maths teacher I’m pleased you ought up the issue of knowing your discounts etc, it’s shocking how many do not. I went to the Sealife Centre here at the beach and purchased a photo frame, the clerk couldn’t workout the price after a 20% discount.
Also if you always give Abbie a cart it’s comforting because it helps give something to hold on to when sensory overload kicks in you have something stable to hold.
I love watching your videos ❤️
Liked and comment already! I love this family💗
Congrats on the sponsorship!
It's fantastic to see Abbie actively making choices on her Dynavox at Chick-fil-A! That's fantastic 😍
As an adult who has sensory difficulty in stores, while the components are similar, such as lighting and ceilings, there are differences in how upsetting each store is for me. Like Abigail, even though the lights and structure similar in craft stores, I have few problems there. In trying to figure things out, I've noticed the major differences are the number of people, noise and how the isles are set up. Craft stores are frequented by the elderly, thus generally quieter and they also have wider isles. Walmart on the other hand, is often a totally immersive experience for me. Screaming babies, lots of people, lights, cramped isles. So, I often go to Walmart at night. They dim the lights, less people and of course less babies, equals an easier experience for me. Or another good example is at the mall. The main part of the mall I cannot handle well(food court, etc) but, anchor stores like Macy's are just fine. Low music, carpeted floors make all the difference. For me, Walmart is like walking into a carnival, while Macy's is like the library. Oh, and its coo-pon.
Hey I just want to say how amazing you all are and thank you so much for the fab content you upload for us all to watch. I also want to say thankyou for the link to retail me not im from the UK and it works im so impressed love you all soooooooooooooo much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I say Q-pon. I remember my grandmother used to say it like Koo-pon. It would drive me nuts. ☺️
Please convey my regards to your son and daughter.God has given you such great kids.
I just added the extension and the app! Thanks guys!👍❤
I have a hard time in Walmart as do my kids. And similarly don’t have as hard of a time in Hobby Lobby. But I am close to sensory overload in Target. It’s lights, larger crowds, more products jammed in tighter spaces, and sounds. Walmart is just all the things!!
I don't shop online ever, but knowing it's supporting you guys, my browser now has a new extension LOL
I say coo-pon. I honestly think it’s based on where you’re from. My friends who live in Michigan say the word on like ahn. I live in Missouri and I say on like awn.
Also, great job in Hobby Lobby Abbie!!! You got through the sensory overload!! I’m so happy for you!!!
you guys are awesome. I'm so happy youtube recommended one of your video to me. i love Abbi! oh and btw its "q-pon" or "coo-pon" it really just depends on where in the world you're from. my family is from a British territory and they say coo-pon,I'm Florian and i call it q-pon like everyone else in my area(palm beaches).
Done looks exciting
Priscilla, I love your top. It flatters you so well. Where’d you get it? If you don’t mind sharing.
i’m excited for all of the amazing discounts on food!! especially 3 dollars off at panda express! 👍🏻
Now this is how you make an add video! Downloading to my laptop now!
Walmart is the BIGGEST sensory overload store for me. I always have meltdown there. It’s painful. She’s not alone. Bless her. Walmart literally hurts me. It’s the lighting I think. And product Over crowding
Love all your videos , you guys look great ! Is there a app you count your macros on?
We have Walmart grocery pick up here and I love it. Both of my boys are on the spectrum and love Walmart but cannot tolerate long trips. So if I need just a few things they can go in with me and help. If I need to do a grocery hall I let Walmart do the shopping for me. Its life changing. Also WTG Abbie. She did good ordering her nuggets too. 😊
I say it the same way as Asa, coo-pons.
I’m with Abbie...NOT a fan of Walmart! It literally makes me itch. Lol! It could be a sensory overload type thing, b/c our store is ALWAYS busy. I don’t like being touched, so when someone is in my bubble, I get anxious. I feel ya Abbie...sweet girl! It broke my heart, watching her face while in the store. But she handled it like a champ! And then...Priscilla saw Elvis! That made me LOL!
That was great. Elvis in Jacksonville at Hobby Lobby!
Hey guys,I love 94degree.Will take anytime over cold weather here in Illinois, in the winter.
It got up to 82 degree in my town,and love the summer warm weather.
I love retail me not Que-pons! 😆 by the way, Abbey has the best smile!! Love those dimples!!
Lol my dad always says “Q-pons” and it’s makes me nuts!!! Lol! I agree with Asa!
I feel the same way with walmart I just don't feel good about that store . So I feel for Abbley I can walk in target with no problems but walmart is different . and thank for the retail app it will help me out a lot Thank you I love saving money any where I go . and Asa you are just like my late husband . My husband always pick on me That was his way saying I love you and we had a great marriage ups and down but we always talked about our problems . I love your channel and I love your family and some day I will be coming to Jacksonville Fla to visit or move there. I use to live in Jacksonville Fla . on Mayport RD off of inerstate 10 . Keep up the great work you do I love you all
Just downloaded the app thank you I just love Pricilla
I had to comment in my way of talking I’m Jamaican 🇯🇲🇯🇲 . Big up to mom,dad, Isaiah and my girl Abby. Love ❤️ you guys so much . Mi love this family gone to bed .
All our grocery stores have online shopping you can have delivered or pick up the bring out to your car huge time saver
I just added this one. We also use the Ebates extension. They save us so much! Ebates though I'm sure you know just adds up into our wallet and then it cashes out at certain times.
I really liked the intro of today's video!
Wait, wait, wait... didn’t we settle this already on a CZcams live, Asa?? We all know its CUE-PON! 😂 #TeamCillaIsRight 😁
Got the app! Boom! That just happened!! Can I also say that going into Hobby Lobby and Michael's always makes me feel sick. It really messes with my eyes. I never leave without a dizzy headache. Just my personal opinion but I think it's in the lighting.
good job Abigail xxx
My favorite store I’m excited about getting extra savings at is Target!!!
Oh Asa you sound like my husband.. "I pay with my phone" lol he does it everywhere.. When it's taking a min I'm like get your card out lol bless it.
Priscilla looks great!! She really had been loosing weight you can tell in her face! Gorgeous!
I comment a lot so sorry to be repetitive but, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! ❤️
We have had issues at that same store and I never thought about lighting. They have the same type of lighting in B's new classroom this year and the school said she has been refusing to go in there; it all makes sense now. Thank you! I am going to add that extension to my browser right now.
👊🏼 at Abbie’s school the diffuse the overhead lights.
You can have it put in their IEP to use other bulbs or even a tinted cover if it is something that affects your child's learning. Made a huge difference with all the children in my sons special education class
Good job Abbie
I agree, with Abbie, I think Walmart, I start having a bad day....and, I worked there to years ago...love you guy,s❤⚘✌
Abigail’s been pretty M.I.A. In the vlogs this past week or so & I’ve kinda been missing her so this vlog today made up for all that!! Love you guys!! Hope Isaiah’s football game went well!!
The “remove card now” sound at 7:26 made me instantly anxious. Consumerism has conditioned me and I did not come to this vlog to realize this very hard hitting news
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every once in awhile a comment makes me laugh out loud...thanks. Lol
