Gestures vs. Language

- For years Abbey had a few gestures that she used that I didn't really understand. Looking back, its so great that she can now attached the feelings that those gestures meant to her. I often thought of myself as a detective trying to figure out what things meant, even just words and phrases that were not clear. She couldn't describe things but most difficult was using feeling words. For her memories would pop in her head first - these are memories that held the feelings (at the time experienced) that would come before language. Such a journey. Still working on it but she is a rock star.
Abbey seems like she would be a great teacher for others with autism.
Very much so!❤
She is in such a silly mood! I bet she is loads of fun and laughter especially when in a mood like this.
Do you know the origin of raining cats and dogs? Back when roofs were thatched with straw the straw would decompose over time. But during the decomposition of the straw it would get warm like a compost heap. Cats and dogs would climb up into the thatched roof into the warm straw. But as the straw decomposed the straw would loose it's protective properties to keep the weather out. So when it would rain really hard cats and dogs would fall out of the thatched roofs that were made weak by decomposing. And that's how it came to be called "Raining cats and dogs". 😂
PS. You two are so much fun to watch!
Never knew that. Thank-you.
I’m going to have to read this to Abbey. Maybe I’ll get her reaction. That’s fascinating thank you.
That was probably one of the most interesting comments I've read , I learned something new today 😁 thank you 🙏🏼❤️☺️
She is a treasure! I love your videos. They are entertaining and informative.
My daughter "doops!" 😂 I look forward to her telling me one day what her doop means. You have no idea how much these videos help me. Thank you for continuing to share your and Abby's journey with us ❤
I love ABBEY!!! ❤
Abbey.. you have the most beautiful smile and I just love the relationship between you and your mom.. she's the best
You two together are a hoot!
I think her gestures were pretty good! Abbey and her mother are delightful!
Abbey has the best personality. 😊
Love this Abby your sense of humor is wonderful!
Abbey is so fun. I hope im able to help my daughter the way you helped abbey. She really is amazing.
Hahahaha! The silliness is too cute.
WONDERFUL ❤
Abbeys gestures are gold!
I might need to borrow these for my next work meeting😊
So beautiful, both of you
You guys are wonderful! I can relate to all of this! Both of my children are Autistic with ADHD. I also just found out at age 47 that, I too, have ADHD. You must be so proud of all the progress that Abbey has made through the years! Keep iit up! Thanks for the content!
She is absolutely a lovely soul ❤
I love Abby! She has come so far and Christine, you could be a therapist!! Thank you for sharing
Her daughter is so beautiful
She definitely is in a silly mood, I love it! Thank you for making me laugh I love you both…so glad I found your channel ❤
You both make me learn…and laugh!! ❤❤
I love how Abbey literally “censored” people or things she didn’t like lol. That booooop sound reminds me of the censor sound on TV when they bleep out a cuss word lol.
Abbey looks so beautiful today. As a widowed mom, I am cracking up on this stormy day in Boston at "It's rainy cats and dogs, but it's not rainy men." So true, so very true!
She’s fun!
As a child of world-class, natural gesticulators (Italian), I found both gestures and accompanying expressions very interesting.
National sock day that’s worth celebrating. Especially when I get to go in the cold and wear my fuzzy,warm socks. Yahhhhh 🎉
You 2 are like 2 peas in a pod !!! So alike xxx best wishes from Liverpool uk I have a grandson who is 6 with autism non verbal but trying his best to say words ,,such hard work ,he started school in sept and is doing amazing ,we love him so much Abby is so beautiful the expressions through her eyes is and gestures is a delight , xxxxx
Thanks for sharing I love your videos! Lovely Ladies 💕
I absolutely love this and seeing this side of her. So much playfulness 🙌🙏♥️
I just recently found your channel. I absolutely love Abbey to pieces!! I'm gonna celebrate National Sock Day with you girl! Here in Trinity, North Alabama! Love you guys so much! God bless!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I thought Medical School was my love in life. I went to medical school and absolutely hated it and quickly left school. Way too much testosterone in medicine and especially medical school. Best decision of my life was to leave that idea behind.
Happy National Sock day 😅
Coping mechanisms. I honestly wish I had those growing up. Im so proud of you BOTH! ❤❤
Love you two.
I love your videos! And how you and Abby explain all your experiences. How and when you started to explain Abby about her condition. I have a son in the spectrum and going through that phase right now.
Thank you and keep the beautiful work
Honestly, using gestures is great problem solving. She invented her own sign language! It's just unfortunate she's the only one who spoke it 😅 I like how you brought her back to the topic, too. You're gifted, too.. Waiting for your book! 😊
Hi Abbie and Mom ❤❤
When my 3yr old autistic son gets angry he angrily does the sign for more
"National sock day" Brilliant
My son is autistic when hes not sure of something he wil rock back and forth. Then he will stim by rocking from side to side stood up x. He only started talking properly at 4 so he learned sign language which really helped him x
Very interesting! It sounds like 'doctor' was a gestalt for her.
You guys are so funny 😆
a delight!
So cute together❤😅.
She is so cute,i just love her personality. My son is autistic and i wonder if he will remember enough when he's older to tell me what his gestures meant.
We had to help Abbey connect to what her gestures meant - she couldn't express it. Try to figure out what they mean and then add words to it - might be a good way to model. 🥰
love your relationship.
Thanks
Abbey you are awesome. Jesus loves you. I have autism and I can relate. My autism is mild. I have trouble with social cues
Does she like floatation spas. Or sensory deprivation rooms where you float on super salty water akin to the Dead Sea? Given her love of water and calmness, I think she might really enjoy it as a sensory reset system. I know I do.
Hahahahaha lovvvvvveeeeeee
There is Something Wrong with this Situation, time will take its course. I wish all Best , BUT something isn't quite right.
