We have gotten better about trying outings after bad experiences but it is not easy. Our first movie experience was a bad one and it effected us badly. It took us years to try again. Even today at the movies, I felt on edge. I wonder if that is partly why Braylee wanted to leave today. #weefam #autism #autistic

i was at menards the other day... some teenagers were mocking my daughter... i walked up to them and introduced her and said she'd love to say "hi" if you guys were wanting to... so she waved and smiled and they said hi. embarrassingly..and i just said... as we walked off... "i'm glad she knows how to behave in public... i'm sorry you guys didnt learn that" and walked away.

I'm sorry your daughter had to go through that. And I bet those teenagers are gonna think twice next time they see someone divergent. You did a good showing her she has every right to confront her bullies. "Weren't you doing that in hopes I saw? Well I did.. Now that I'm here, what would you like to saw to me? Huh?"

David, you and Stacey are doing such a great job with Braylee, giving her opportunity to explore new places and try new things. I'm sorry that first movie experience was so difficult. It is sad that some people just don't even try to understand. Just keep persevering, and do not apologize. Explain if you must but don't apologize. Braylee has a right to be accepted for who she is. Stacey, it was great to see and hear you expressing your thoughts. Do it some more, please. And that puzzle was beautiful!

Emma and Braylee were so cute together at the restaurant. I'm finding that I am losing patience with how long the movies are these days... I think it's because I'm hooked on KZfaq and have developed a shorter attention span. Also, just wanted to say that when I was little and we would go out as a family to a restaurant, people would stare at my brother and I would get so mad. I would stare right back at them and my mom would sometimes tell me to cool it with the angry staring back. I was just very protective of my brother and hated when people would outwardly stare at us.

2nd Comment. Question: David if you were not having these troubles with the people that are so extremely rude regarding Norton and all that hassle, would you have brought Norton to the movies with Braylee? I'm just trying to understand how you utilize his service tasks and what he does for Braylee and just getting him out of the house. It seems like going to a movie would be a good outing for Norton but I'm not sure if you think that. That puzzle looks so high quality, it looks extremely well done and what a gorgeous gorgeous butterfly. I never thought of a puzzle as relaxing. I think I see it as frustrating and I have to deal with it. anyways thank you for the video. I love that you're uploading so much I hope you love it too. Just remember even when you video about nothing it's always cool because it's the simple things that make a video enjoyable.

No, Norton would probably have not come with us this time. Mostly because we had Ema with us. Braylee gravitates toward her and does a ton of physical interaction which would not be possible with Norton attached. We have yet to experience a moment where Norton would have been needed while Ema was with her and we don’t want to hinder the Braylee Ema friendship at all. Hope that makes sense!

@@TheWeeFamily makes perfect sense. Her and Ema have a very spontaneous, physically interactive connection. David, or Stacey would you say Braylee has Bonded with Norton? In my opinion and feelings and years of dog training to me I don't get a sense that B really looks to Norton for companionship and connection. Am I right? There's a channel on KZfaq called Angie and Ruby have you ever seen it? Ruby does not have autism but she is quite disabled and also mentally disabled I'm trying to think of the right way to say that..... she's not neurotypical there we go. Anyway she got a dog and she is so into her service dog Charlie. She brushes Charlie and talks to Charlie and sleeps with Charlie and Charlie is to her like her best friend. She has other friends but Charlie is a very big and special part of her life. When I look at Ruby and then I put Braylee with her service dog Norton they're completely opposite in my way of seeing it. it's not wrong, please do not think in any way I'm judging it as wrong I am not. I just wanted to ask you guys since you live with B and Norton if in your opinion would you be willing to share with me have they really bonded? does she feel close to Norton does she like to play with Norton brush Norton be involved with Norton? Anyways thank you guys so much for always being willing to answer my questions and my interest in your family and your Channel I appreciate that. I'm not the kind of person when leaving a comment that always says oh isn't so and so the most beautiful child in the world on whatever I'm watching or you know what I mean. I just don't leave that simple oh isn't that wonderful. So I appreciate you guys interacting with me. See you in the next video.

Hi Wee Family, I kind of know how you feel about getting dirty & snide looks from strange people in public because of your daughter's inability to control her vocalizing in public, movies, etc... I do not have the same incontrollable vocalizing. However, I do unfortunately suffer from TD (Tardive Dyskenesia) an uncontrollable movementa of my mouth, neck, eye blinking, etc... Similar to Tourettes Syndrome & I get also get nasty & uncomfortable staring in public. So, I understand your situation. I'm so PROUD of ALL of you for NEVER giving up!!!

It's a shame when you have bad experiences and they put you off. I wonder if the woman didn't realise it was a sensory showing and she needed someone to explain to her 🤔 I'm glad you took Braylee back to the cinema and she loves it so much! 😀

It’s very possible that she didn’t realize but they do typically announce at some point in the preview/early on. But she also may not understand still what that fully meant. I try to give the benefit of the doubt but you truly never know.

Your distress has nothing to do with B or other people. Social judgement, 'social norms' and how you respond to them is your learning. Become indifferent to their ignorance or their insecurity and where you can educate. A lot of our judgement (all judgement that is negative) comes from our own insecurities. So when you get stares or whispers, see the insecurity and lack of understanding in those people for what it is, then you won't have to feel less than them. Then you won't have to feel anxious for what is just B's differences. She has the right to be herself where ever she is. There is no apology necessary for what other people do not understand.

I find “sensory friendly” events to be the very opposite for me. But I know that so I don’t go. I don’t show up expecting people to be quiet just because their sensory stims are louder than mine. I’m past angry for your family that people would be judgmental in that environment. Sensory means so many things. Free to be yourself should be 100% included in that. And if someone doesn’t like it? Then they can watch the movie at home while teaching their child to be intolerant through their own behavior. Tsk on that. I loved watching Braylee drinking her blue milk and then pushing it away far enough to check that it was still blue! The Star Wars nerd 8n me approves of the blue milk 💙💙 It may not have gone the way you would have hoped, but watching that sweet girl giggling and bouncy to her own movie is an awesome thing. I have not been to the movies since 2020. I just can’t do it yet. But we have a small downtown theatre that on Fridays does drive through movie snacks. You can get movie popcorn and any candies you want and it helps the theatre recover from losses and for people like me it means I can have movie popcorn with the best candy ever: Reese’s Pieces 🌟🌟 all while then getting to go home and watch a movie in my pajamas with my Service Dog laying on my leg.
