I was thinking she was looking at the gap between the curtains maybe because of her ocd.

The curtains are apart at the top. I have OCD and wanted to fix them. Lol I spotted the difference

I have Aspergers and I don’t mess around with my routine my routine is the one thing I don’t change for anyone

Its amazing she is repeating words back that makes me smile. My brother has autism so I understand it all. Carlos is going to go everywhefe because with snow he can't undestand 9r see where the grass is suppose to be compares to the sidewalk. Even as an adult or human in general it can be a little bit challenging

My dog pees on the deck when there’s snow! I’m like no go into the yard! She’s like nope I’m going right here!

While going over this video, I realize we failed in explaining the current bathroom plan fully. To clarify, we put a child lock on the bathroom door to help break up the routine. We still take her if she requests bathroom with her talker (to continue encouragement of using her speaking device). She is also taken to the bathroom at regular intervals throughout the day. Has anyone else experienced rigid routines?

I have Autism and looking at that place feels calming and comforting, while the other walls feel overstimulating.

Place more stars ⭐️ in other area of the room to see if that’s what she is looking at... maybe she like that shape...

Cute story I thought you would like. My ten year old daughter, Sadie, and I watch your videos together. She plays Minecraft and tonight she was playing and asked me how to spell Braylee. I asked why and she said she wanted to rename her main character after Braylee. It put a smile on my face and I thought it would put one on yours too 😊

Get Braylee girl those glow in the dark 🌟 🌟 🌟 they fade out after awhile there all over the top of the ceiling in the extra room there pretty cool a Wal-Mart find .. Braylee girl I love your hoodie way cute happy New Year's stay Blessed 🖤🌹🖤

I understand the handwashing thing since I have OCD and do it too.

Carlos doesn't think everywhere is the bathroom. He's just taking advantage. "He thinks I think this is the yard...bahaha💩" 🤣

How awesome that Braylee took her talker to her room to jam some choice music!!! Also I love the new earrings Stacee!

I grew up with severe ADHD and Dyspraxia. My best friend had ASD. So good to see you showing a day in the life of a family with a neurodivergent child.

I have really bad OCD and everything was stressing me out but I still loved it

My daughter is independent as far as going in the bathroom, pulling down her underwear,wiping by herself when she pees. But she loves water do she used to play in the toilet n the sink n get into products. Now she just turns the water on n off n loves to wash her hands but they get dry n red n cracked on her knuckles, particularly in the winter. She also can't leave any soap suds in the sink after washing her hands so she'll keep running the water til they're gone. Love your puzzle piece n 🐝 plugs.

0:49 - our son is fixated on curtains as well. He likes to have some sort of control over his environment but will get overstimulated if he is allowed to overindulge in self stimulatory behavior. When that happens he will rip them down and ask for someone to put them back up. We went though a lot of curtain rods, transitioned to a tension rod before eventually just going with velcro. It was a battle we had to concede, but we also had to put a plexiglass sheet over the glass and nail the window shut because it was becoming a 24/7 thing.

I love these two they way they look at each other and love each other

I loved your Real Talk and the reality of you going off to fix the bathroom. You are both just great parents. No matter what child God would have assigned you.. that would be the case.

This video came on auto play after the Disney vids!! My son does the same thing in the bathroom and with the toothpaste like all the tooth paste he can find. Thanks for sharing this! Didn’t even think it could be a stim... appreciate y’all!

I love your Love Your Melon beanie! Always glad to see someone wearing one😀

She’s so adorable.Yall are a sweet family.

Man sometimes it really feels like each step forward leads to a new host of challenges! Hopefully having the bathroom B-proofed will help, it'll definitely help her practice requesting for when she's at the day center or out in public

David you are just not right. LOL. Glad you all had a good time with your family. Happy New Year.

I hope y'all have a very blessed year

I used to love that animated Robin Good movie when I was a kid (I'm 36). I watched it so many times. The Minnesota-opoly is cool. David I think u mean taking a page out of everyone else's book. Lol. I know the commercial you're talking about Stacy that plays express yourself but I already knew if that song before that. It was from the 70's I think. I think James Brown.

Great video! Loved it, as always :) Yes we certainly recognize the routine making. Keep up the creative solutions, thats what we autism parents are for and best at :) she's growing so much in communicating, it's a beautiful thing to see. Xxx

cute puzzle piece plugs

You guys should paint the bus on the inside together, that would be so neat

Braylee is so cute

I don't know what it is about you guys... this is my first video of yours I have watched and I already would trust you with my life! Y'all seem like such a genuine & beautiful family

I love her outfit 💕

I totally remember the commercial she was thinking of! I thought that's what you were referring to at first also.

THAT IS THE CUTEST LITTLE FACE! She MaY be looking at that part where the curtains do not come together either because they’re not together or because the outside is barely visible. IMO

😄😄 um soooo loving the outtakes ☃️☃️☃️

Instead of real talk, you guys could use Wee talk for your lives. Oh, how I wish I could spend the day with you guys. Keep being Awsome! Do you guys do new years resolutions? I pick a word to focus on all year. My word for 2020 is strength. I can't wait to learn the national holidays.

she is so smart lv her outfit it’s good she asks than it uses her words lv the new plugs i just want to ride the yellow bus so cool she is so happy your both such great parents it’s hard to break routine especially when you hv ocd

My daughter repeats everything we say too (echolalia). When she answers us, she'll either say yes,no or repeat what we said to her.

Stacey, I noticed your earrings right away! I think they're a good way to EXPRESS YOURSELF! lol Carlos probably goes to the bathroom wherever he can because his little bitty paws are freezing and he wants to get back to the warmth as fast as he can. Another good video, thanks guys!

This video really opened up a conversation between my fiancé and I about our 3 year old daughter. She was diagnosed with autism last year and I think she may have dyspraxia as well I never thought about it, but she has SEVERAL of the same characteristics that people with dyspraxia have. She acts almost EXACTLY like your daughter. It’s amazing

Because she has the coolest curtains ever!!!! I love them 💜

Wow. I am new to this channel and I just have to say, Braylee seems like such a sweet little girl. And she's cute too❤️ You guys are really great parents.

You guys are so cute together❤️reminds me of my husband I. Been together 20 years and are just 36😄

ok, in response of #realtalk. I completely understand and feel your pain in having to fix the toilet, David. My 15 yo autistic son (who has a dual diagnosis of IDD and ASD) has always had an obsession with water play and teaching him hygiene continues to be a challenge for us, his therapists and his aides. Eventually he learned to request it but it just means that he requests to go ALL the time so the next challenge is to enable the appropriate behavior without enabling the inappropriate behaviors. As a Gen Xer it has been my tendency to helicopter parent and that just reinforced the bad behaviors so that obsessions became a means of getting our attention. The challenge has been to analyze the reason for the bad behaviors and coming up with appropriate alternative play so that we can redirect him from damaging things or causing harm to himself or others. To this day he still surprises people whenever he gets the urge to splash or bathe because the water stim is so powerful that the behaviors are nearly as sudden and intense as a meltdown. I also feel that there need to be pica and obsession friendly oral and skin care products. Hand soap and sanitizer is just as hard on the digestive system as it is in chapping and cracking skin. BTW, I've had to actually replace all the toilets in my home a couple of times because of clogs and cracked tank lids and whatnot. Word to the wise: the eco friendly toilets are more of a liability than a help and the "high powered" American Standard ones have the opposite problem but are no less fragile. The best advice I can say is don't skimp; get a Kohler if you can afford it because the tank mount is not porcelain on porcelain so it won't crack. It won't flush gold balls but you don't want that. One time a toy didn't get stuck in the toilet's S trap (which at least can be snaked out) but instead got lodged in the main storm drain and flooded our basement after becoming wrapped in toilet paper over time. It could have cost us thousands but thankfully I was referred to an honest master plumber so it only cost $100 in the end; we didn't have to dig up our yard for a little green army man who'd gone spelunking.

You guys sure enjoyed New Years.

Hello. Recently found your channel/ videos. I appreciate the candid commentary and sharing you do. Our daughter seems to be quite similar in behavior and verbal communication levels as your daughter (and also diagnosed). and when she was going on 4, had a massive meltdown on a transatlantic flight that was longer than estimated. She actually laid down in the back of the plane screaming, kicking, biting, etc. I think it lasted 45 minutes but maybe it was less- time seems to stand still during those moments. Like your daughter, it wasn’t her fault. She hit a wall and the time change didn’t help. We haven’t flown since but mostly due to Covid. We decided to take the plunge again and will be flying to Europe this July and we certainly have concerns. I really appreciated your comments about how the meltdown is only really a small portion of the trip / experience. Doesn’t ruin the trip though for a time, that memory of the plane meltdown lasted with my wife. Not our daughter, anyway, I am happy to see others like yourself traveling and sharing as it makes me more confident and comfortable to do so as well. We have an older daughter who, along with her autistic sister, deserves to experience what the world has to offer so off we go!

Happy New Year!

Lol, yes. Whenever it snows my dogs are like "Wow, the ground moved closer!". We're like, "No, snow does not move dirt! Go down to the yard!"

I also have autism and I really have a lot of respect for your daughter. I used to be very active when I was little and I misunderstood things (now). And when I became friends with someone, I told her that I had autism and had a hard time understanding some things. And she can't touch me unexpectedly either, I told her too. Not that I am totally fearful but I can't handle unexpected touches, loud noises and crowds ..... Months later she suddenly started to scold me about my autism. She scolded with various things such as atistic pig. I don't type the rest because they were even more rude. Sorry if my English is bad but I live in Belgium and I still have to learn English at school. Btw i love you guys channel

New subscriber 💕 I am loving your videos

Love your plugs

I dont have OCD but you really need to fix them curtains lol xxx She is so cute btw xx

My brother has autism! I love my brother and I worry about him. My dad and his mother (not my momma) raised him the best they could. Hes an adult in the real world now. So crazy how time flies! Its good to see parents out here doing their best to give their kids the best chance at adulthood!

You guys are so cute together

❤❤❤

As shamans wipeout spells smalls alfalfa smalls smalls

You know what’s crazy my sister broke the handle to the toilet today too

nice video well done keep up the good work i love your videos a+

Sorry if this is TMI (cause I have no filter) but I'm not fully potty training (I'm able to go during the day cause my body is able to tell me when I need to go and I can pick up on those cues and I'm also awake but at night I have to go before I go to bed and sometimes, even that doesn't help and I don't know why and sometimes, it ends in accidents and I get really angry when that happens. That's really good progress though, especially being able to request music on her device! I agree with you Stacey, that is a really weird way to say you got a calendar lol!

Love the design of her room purple is sooo cute lol.

Last comment: I LOVE the idea of a specialized Monopoly game. I see there's one for my home town of Pittsburgh which has its own dialect.

Lol my dog pees and poops on the sidewalk too!

That Robin Hood is great as a kid I had it on VHS think it had to be replaced i watched it that much.

Wait she has her own bus I want my own bus

Braylee is so cute-

I have adhd ocd the thing where you say random I’m stuff when ur taking (a disorder with ticks) and more I feel the little gil

Maybe it is the curtains not being perfectly aligned in the upper middle area of where the two curtains connect.

I’ve just found their channel and I’ve already subscribed, but I was wondering, is there a reason they pick her up or drop her off in the bus? Does she feel more comfortable with that?

I love watching your channel and seeing all the things Braylee is doing! She is truly extraordinary. :)

Is no one going to talk about the face in the window at 10:15???

How the heck do they just own a bus and drive their kids to school in it.

I never though much of OCD until the second grade when I would put my papers down on the table (Cause I would be finished with my work) and these girls would sit there, fixing the papers. There would be some kid who would say “They act like they have OCD” and that’s when I first knew about it! It’s cool knowing what actual OCD is.

OMG my 2 yes old does that. It's a stem.... Wow I had no idea. Flush paper all day. His hand washing too. He is still in diapers. Thought flushing would encourage him to potty and poo. Refuses to go in potty or training potty

Poor baby

Plot twist..she sees spirits and that's why she keeps looking at that one spot in her room! Dun dun dunnnnn Just kidding 😂I liked this video,imma subscribe

I’m new here and the bus confused me lol is that like there car? Or just for fun?

I don't Blame Carlos if I had to walk in the snow to poop I would do the same thing😊

At what age did she start requesting or letting ya know when she needs to go to the bathroom because currently my son will go use it only when we take him if we don’t take him he will just go in his pull up so I’m not sure if he still doesn’t recognize when he needs to go or how to communicate it back to us to take him....happy new year!!

IHOP does free pancake day..

I’m pretty sure I have ocd? Is there such thing as ocd ticks? Because I have that kinda thing and also if I walk pas,t something my brain is like “hey go touch that until you have to pull yourself away from it because you can’t stop” and then when I don’t do it I so this breathing thing where I breath out all my air and cough. Another thing is like!dont judge me! Doing a frog throat thingy because my “brain tells me to do” and it’s embarrassing...c tapping on things and making noises and stuff like that. Mostly repeated words until it sound “ good enough “ and spelling things out in asl while flapping my hands and I look disturbed.......last thing is typing on computers in class AGRESSIVLEY typing and re typing words and it’s annoying. I don’t wanna like “self diagnose” but I’m pretty sure i have *something*

The puzzle piece is a hate symbol. I don't mean to be rude, I myself am autistic.

National Talk Like A Pirate Day, September 19th. Arrrrgh!

She seems like an amazing girl. It is interesting to me that she has both dyspraxia and autism. I have never heard of that. I hear OCD can be a common thing in some people with autism but never knew about someone having dyspraxia as well.

0:44 no she’s lost in her thoughts... trust me she’s been thought about the stars... she’s not just looking at things and they make her happy... she’s having DEEP thoughts about everything she sees like how it got there, what’s it do, and what ifs

If only he knew what was to come

Looks like those rabbits stuck around your house for winter! Those are the coolest plugs ever!

I have heard if u eat tooth paste it will make you run a very high fever, which is why it has a warning ⚠️ on it. I know she didn’t say she was eating it, this is my first video of them. I just think that’s it a weird fact.

Maybe she sees orbs. Kids are most sensitive to that stuff as are animals. My dog is very very sensitive to it!! It’s made a lot of things make so much more sense around my house! Just my thoughts...

🙂

I am a new subscriber and I was just wondering why do you use the bus to take one child to school? Just wondering

Wait... why do you have a bus?!?

Our daughter went through a "phase" where she was flushing it all the time, and then flushing it for others.(MOM LIFE) At first we thought "yay, she's showing interest in the potty" but it soon became a thing for her. We are very fortunate that she eventually got over that phase. Once in awhile she will come a running the "help" someone out (LOL) but again she's moved on. Thank goodness. On another note, you know you're parents when.. you stay home and play Monopoly for NYE. LOL Just kidding. We didnt even make it to midnight. Didn't have a cocktail either! Lame!!!

I don't know much about Autism, but maybe it's the gap in the curtain? I have mild OCD and even that annoyed me more than it should?

The yawn hath spread

Hi guys so I know it's none of my business but is the guy In the video bralees real dad I'm new so I'm just curious love you guys 🤔😊😊😇

Are you a school bus driver or do you just drive B to school in the bus?!

I may seem very ignorant but I want to learn more. I have realized some stims are good and some arent as good. What may trigger the stims, specifically the bathroom routine? If this is a sensitive topic I am sorry for invading. I try my best to be respectful and hope that this is a respectful way in asking

Had to do another comment to make the comments 130 sorry ignore me

I know this may be creepy but maybe sees a ghost or something similar

:)
