I like your show
Funny parts were the bubbles in Abbie's hair, Asa thinking a bug flew in his hat & Abbie putting the decor on the dog bed 🤣
Hello beautiful Maass family ❤😘
Ab thouht since you had your hat on, you were going out so maybe to the car? Nobody will know.
Maybe she needs a paper pit……
I am a disabled older woman, who grew up never taking care of myself. When my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer she leaned on me hard. And I did it. But I nearly ran myself into the ground. Then when she passed, saying I was a mess would be a gross understatement. It has been the longest bout of depression I've lived through thus far. I tend to learn everything the hard way, especially that I need to take care of myself,born I won't be able to care for anyone else.
You guys are doing great. Your reality is a tough one and it's okay to recognize that it's tough. Blessings.
I just watched the video for camp. What an amazing presentation!!
Therapy is wonderful and relaxing too ❤ The Camp video is so so heartwarming ❤. Isaiah is such a wonderful smart funny loving young man and just look at how much he really does. He's so professional and all of this is because of the wonderful heartwarming parents he has ❤❤ Asa and Cilla y'all are Amazing Parents ❤
I am not letting myself lose in my brain. I'll ruin everything, yeah.
Have you thought about using her bags she tears up for bedding for the birds?
You do a lot for Abby because you need to i see your husband do more then you. Your always on your phone. Don't complain about it. You ca. Get off the phone for 5 mins and get your water. Jesus
why do you have blankets in the summertime? I know you used to have them in the car too in the hot Florida sun I don't understand that. I'd bring them out in the winter time, but not now even you probably don't have a lot of cold weather there.
Just watch the camp I am special video
As someone with disabilities myself I am in awe of your son carrying your legacy to create a softer landing space for children and adults with special needs
She was adorable as a kid
We have had golden doodles for years. That is something our girls have always done. Must be a doodle thing to go between your legs.
I've found support groups with other families on FB or Zoom very helpful. It's the connection and identification with others that lightens the mental load ❤
Great video and an important message for ND families.
I saw the news about the mom with her autistic son. As an autistim mom it’s hard to hear. Even as a caregiver its hard to focus on how we feel when we feel we have to be strong and not show we are struggling
Is Abbie going to camp this summer?

This is a constant conversation with my other half as he is sole carer for his daughter who is Abbie's age. It's a heavy load to bear and while he is a very capable Dad, it is a lot for him and he is reluctant to let me help out.
You all are just amazing parents ❤❤
My 25 year old son is just like your daughter but he's in diapers and her in Indiana there's no where for him to keep learning
Video made me cry. Beautiful work! I can't even imagine how proud you guys are of Isaiah.

I’m really struggling, I have adhd and autism and my daughter is severely autistic and I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing because I struggle with my own problems so how am I supposed to help my daughter 😢 I “co parent” with my daughter’s dad but it’s pretty much me doing everything. Apart from the very little he does, I have no one else at all to help me, I’ve reached out for support so many times and gotten nothing 😪 it’s so bad here in England for support, a lot of health professionals just don’t care. I genuinely don’t even know what to do anymore, I have days where I don’t want to be here anymore, I’m so unhappy, but my daughter needs me so I feel stuck here. It was my 30th birthday yesterday and I was alone and in tears all day 😔
To anyone who's suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I'm proud of you. I'm sending you a virtual hug ❤ what helped me get out of that dark spiral was journaling and mindfulness from Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now!🙏❤
great ❤️
Anxiety kept me in a state of constant exhaustion, mentally drained and physically tired. I thought this was just my normal until a friend recommended Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks. It completely shifted how I approach anxiety, giving me the ability to cope effectively. Small changes made a huge difference ❤️
awesome 💫
My family and I experienced caregiver burnout when we were caring for my grandmother before she had to be moved to a nursing home. There were days where I felt like I wanted to walk out the door and let my family handle it.
During that time, we found a company where a person would come in and care for her for a few hours so that we could leave the house for a while. That took a load off of our shoulders, which we appreciated.
Caregiving is exhausting and can take a toll on a person’s health. Seeking therapy can be very beneficial for caregivers. It allows them to have an outlet to express any concerns or frustrations and they can get tools and/or coping skills for how to appropriately handle a situation with the person they are caring for.
My brother is Disabled, he doesn't know the word we never use it in 68 years.
Awe small Abbie ❤ so adorable !!!!
My parents bred poodles. All the black ones randomly ended up with some grey and even white streaks.
Even her black and white doodle ended up grey after a few years.
