We believe that hearts change when minds are informed, which is why we focus on sharing our lives in order to spread the message about autism and debunk common myths and stereotypes. We offer an authentic glimpse into the lives of a family with autism so we’re committed to inviting you in on good days, bad days and everything in-between.

We Made a Mistake At The Dentist
We have learned from our mistakes thankfully. The first dentist visit many years ago may have had lasting effects. She still has tons of anxiety when we go. I am just glad we figured out a better way to do these appointments right away.

She Didn't Know The Apple Picking Rules
Переглядів 1,6 тис.4 години тому
Visiting an apple orchard after 4 years was eventful. Brings back memories and we created some new ones along the way. We also quickly realized that we need to teach our daughter some apple picking tricks and etiquette. #autistic #parenting #appleorchard #outdooradventure
She Has Never Done That Before

Sometimes our daughter surprises us and that is a good thing. We got into some baking and we got a surprising note back from school today. Definitely the highlight of the day. #autism #autismparenting #bakingcookies

A Small Detail That Could Prevent Tragedy
I see the title screen saying "Don't eat it", but I didn't actually see that happen in the video lol
While we were apple picking, you will hear when B picks an apple, takes a bite, then throws it on the ground.
❤❤❤❤❤
What are the signs because she looked like she was enjoying herself to me? She was smiling and sounded like she was having a good time.
I didn’t record when she was getting overwhelmed.
Question??? Why are you not taking her service dog with you? Isnt tgst ehy you got him?
She has outgrown the need for him. Getting close to retirement.
My youngest grandson hates the dentist. They have to do sedation on him just to get X-rays.
🌸 💙💙💙
Yay Braylee! I had bad experience as a kid but I have great dentist now.
Braylee and Griffin will be best friends one day. I can already imagine the young man he'll grow up to be. Perhaps he's going to be a nurse, special ed teacher, social worker or work with disabled people in some capacity. His mother and father should be proud.
When my daughter was little it took about a dozen tries to get her first xrays done. She would have panic attacks. Eventually she forced herself and then realized it wasn't as bad as she thought. I think she was around 5 years old at the time. She just turned 23 today.
yay this is so sweet
i love apple orchards
wow that looks like fun
Hello sweet B and family ❤❤❤ Sending your beautiful family much love from Puerto Rico.
braylee is a good kid :) and you guys are doing your best
i have autism too. and there is nothing wrong with people who has autism. braylee is the best
i have done those mistakes before
Ew
You have an awesome dentist office! The fact that they are so willing to work with Braylee to make the experience as easy for her as possible just puts a big smile on my face. Many neurotypical individuals find going to the dentist to be very anxiety inducing; it must be so much more difficult for those on the autism spectrum. So glad this visit went well and hooray for no cavities!!
You know that was your smoothest shave sir!! Lol
I’ve done sedation dentisty before twice already and I definitely had some anxiety with it especially with the iv in my arm being put under and waking up in recovery they let me sleep and rest when they got me into recovery and when I woke up I had a popsicle and ginger ale and some nausea medicine so I wouldn’t throw up when I got home and all I did was get into my pjs climbed into bed and knocked out I was so tired and sore my body needed to decompress from everything
I mask all the time because my one of the group home staff doesn’t like autism
What do you mean she is no longer welcome?
Braylee needed a sensory break, we had to leave because the venue didn’t have a sensory room. When that happens we don’t feel welcome because that accommodation is not available for her.
Learning how to cope in anxious situations is always relatable. I have started just telling the person I am interacting with when I am feeling overwhelmed or anxious and find it is always taken with understanding and patience, so I think we should normalize being able to talk about it more in public.... 9 time out of 10 the experience will be better P.S. ALL HAIL THE BUTT CHIN! 😂
❤
If I can ask here, about what size should a sensory room be to be effective for a few groups at a time? I've only been in one, very early in the morning in one terminal at a large airport. It was around 50 by 100 feet, but I wondered if extra large venues could have several sensory rooms if they don't need to be quite that size.
I don’t think there is any one size. We have seen a verity of sensory rooms. The best one we have seen is at Target field. They have 2 private rooms and a larger more common area type room.
I hope Braylee is all right
Man I don’t even like the dentist and the x rays mouth pieces hurt
😂😂😂😂
I live in Wisconsin
Even my summer camp needs a sensory room! Not just for autism week! Autism week was for kids. I'm an adult. I needed a sensory break
That's the only kind of cookie I want! ...A giant one!! looks incredible, well done Braylee
Hello sweet B and family ❤❤❤
No but not every place has the ability for a sensory room. It’s great that some places do. Cuz this would help a lot of people not only people with autism. But I have issues with sounds being like 50% louder to me than other people
Wee Family Sometimes you should do date night get a babysitter, and enjoy the concert yourselves. Sometimes as husband, and wife you just need to get away by yourselves.
Wee Family I JUST WANT TO SAY HEAD PHONES ON HER IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA. BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE A LOT OF NOISE, OR LOUD NOISES. THIS IS SO PERFECT IT BLOCKS OUT A LOT OF NOISE.
The fact it went in her mouth at all is a win, the fact it went in multiple times AND she chewed it is massive
❤❤❤❤❤❤
You shouldnt be taking them places like that if you're actually worried. At least check ahead (multiple times) lol. Things can pretty easily be "not fun" anymore lol
Never said I’m worried. The whole point of going is because our daughter enjoys concerts. She just needs sensory breaks.
My cousin is he's autistic he hates too much loud noise and gets overwhelmed. I'm he riding the bus we adopt him he's needs noise canceling headphones I'm at school I not getting from the school
I want one and I need one
100% agree! There are some great advocates and organizations trying to make concerts/events more sensory friendly. I'm not sure how they work (if you suggest venues to them) but Kulture City is the biggest example I can think of. Pro tip from an usher: *sometimes* security will allow you to re-enter if you explain that it's medically necessary to step outside, especially if you're able to stay within their line of sight.
omg…. WHERE ARE THEY!!!!
I hope more places in the near future think of these things so Braylee and others that need them will be able to enjoy concerts and other things better! 😊❤
Hello sweet B and family ❤❤❤
I wish my mom let me do this as a kid. She did in a way but only on one area. I was muddy and messy allll my child hood. It kept me going and regulated for sure!!! Thank you for allowing her to be her. As an adult I have my own yard and I still find myself playing with worms in the dirt or digging random holes. 😅❤
100/10 dad, knows how to educate his kids and make it fun.
🌸 💙💙💙
Hello sweet B and family ❤❤❤
take me there
