  1. I feel the same way I have a 3year old non verbal grand son but I live in the same town I feel like that when I go to my daughters house I don't want to make them mad I all ways second guess my self any time I bring some thing to their house for him I saw abbie playing with that back massager that lite up I ran out an bought one he got in trouble the first 10 minutes giving to him I felt so bad I all ways ask after that

  2. Some times I try to bring things to my grand son I just wind up crying later if I don't make the rite choice I want to give him soo much but I don't because I'm afraid of causing a problem later

  3. As a grand mother I think I new before they did I just didn't say its harder on the parents it devastated our family but he gets better an we wouldn't change for anything he is a very happy an lucky boy I love him soo much

  4. So great to see this video! I am a grandmom to two grandsons on the spectrum. One is very minimally verbal (14-yr old) and his brother is non-verbal (12-yr old) I struggle with knowing what to do and how to understand and communicate with the boys. They live 4-hours away so we don't see each other as often as I'd like. I often feel like my expectations are way off – I either underestimate or overestimate their abilities. We took the older grandson away on a "Grand Adventure" to Wisconsin Dells for a week and my many questions about his care seemed frustrating to his mom. I wish I could help her understand that my questions are not meant to accentuate his differences, but to make sure he has the best experience possible. Sometimes it is hard to know what to do and say to be supportive.

  5. Amazing Family, Abbie Princess You're soooo loved, You're loved just the Way You Are ….

  6. Well said 😊 Regardless of who it is in the world your friend, neighbour, cousin, grandchild, sibling, family- friend, you never compare them to somebody else you know, or on strangersπŸ’“ It should just be a natural thing to love and accept everybody for who they are πŸ’—πŸ’—

    For myself it has always come naturally, I've never compared one person to another person, and I've never judged people on things, I have always being loving and accepting, without being naive of course. What lovely grandparents πŸ˜Šβ€πŸ’™πŸ’œ xo

  7. Oh my. What wonderful open, transparent, and respectful communication between people who obviously love one another. This information is so very pertinent for parents and grandparents, alike. Love it!!

  8. This was a wonderful vlog. I am a grandparent and have no one in the family on the spectrum but my heart goes out to both sides. I love that you are teaching us through your vlogs and your life. I can’t imagine the struggles you go through but I pray for your family and send love to all of you.

  9. I am a grandparent and my granddaughter is on the spectrum. (High functionality and verbal ) She as taught me so much and helped me get to the point of accepting my own feelings and what I have always considered to be, phobias. I will be going in the future for an assessment, as now I feel I can. Your channel is so educational and I wish I had found you earlier. Thankyou so much for sharing.

  10. This was an amazing video. I had family members tell me after my daughter was finally diagnosed on the spectrum at 15 that he "knew that there was something" different about my daughter but he didn't want to tell me because he didn't think it was his place. Well if he had of something I could have had her tested many years earlier even though it wasn't common when she was little for girls to be diagnosed on the spectrum. I loved hearing the grandparent view.

  11. I love that both sets of grandparents accepted Abbie for who she is my mums mum always told her I’d grow out of having autism so I had not such a great relationship with her then when I was 17 she started insulting me bout my weight yet my uncles second and third sons has autism like me and she never was like the way she was with me with them I never got to meet my dads mum but i know she would’ve loved me for who I am

  12. I've never seen this before
    And I really was sure I'd watched all of your videos

    But here I am watching this 3 yo video and learning that your mom is called Jessica, which is my name too😁😘

  13. I love your family and whoever is talkin out they neck can, in the words of the great bhad bhabie, CASH ME OUSSIDE HOW BOUT DAT!?!??

    *puts hair in ponytail and grabs the vaseline*

  14. I always wondered what Gramma's name was. You both are so loving, caring, and special Grandparents. Asa & Cilla & Isaiah & Abbie are very lucky to have you in their lives. 🀩😍

  15. I see both sides and all in between with having to guiding grandparents and letting go when you are not there. I have had to rely heavily on the grands and so i have held my tongue for the most part. I like how the grand-dad said to approach it. "this is what we are trying to do so please do it with us.." or something like that!!
