Indeed they do even I know that come on even neurotypical people are different. We are all different after all it's what makes the people we are and it shapes us as individuals.
@@TheCollectorsSin Just watching the stairs I couldn't focus on the steps illusion wise it was all one floor. Cool concept for the house though!! HAHA!
I’m a lot like Abbie when it comes to sensory touching and closeness with others, I don’t mind hugs, I cling when I’m scared or I’m not sure of my surroundings, and when I’m emotional I get extremely clingy. I love to sit and hold hands with my husband, for comfort and closeness. You are right, the spectrum is made of many differences.
My heart goes out to ya all. Kida leaving for college is bitter sweet. Pride and sadness all wrapped up together. Youll miss him more then I can describe but there are always school breaks. Youve done a goid job with your son. Hes responsible and hes gonna do great!
You can always judge the kindness of a family by how they treat their animals, who have no voice. You guys take great care of them and love them and they return the love and gratitude for being rescued. I can see sadness in Isaiah’s eyes as he’s holding his cat. Please be assured Isaiah she will be waiting for you and will see you soon.
Also.. I’m just want to say, I hope the ridiculous allegations about (mostly Summer and Isaiah) don’t ever make them want to shy away from the camera.. I hope Summer continues to love Abbie as her best friend and Isaiah shows his humor on camera. I know Asa and Cilla have been through it before and know how to let it roll off their backs. Just wanted to put in my two cents. Enjoy your last few days with the boy before the rest of you head home 💚💙
Issiahs so blessed to have you guys. My mom helped me move out to college last year and suddenly stopped talking me to me haven't spoken to her since I moved out. Not all parents are amazing,so for those of you who have parents you can rely on your truly blessed.
Me too I’m a klutz. My dad used to say I was an accident looking to happen. Between 18 months and three years old I was either in the hospital or doctors office 18 Hines. Now that I’m 58 I’m still a klutz I just burnt my hand for a second time in less than a month and it was the same hand that I put in at the age of three that I had to have skin grafting on. At least I keep burning the same hand LOL
When summer was playing the piano n Isaiah was dancing. Hysterical. That's awesome Isaiah plays piano. He is so sweet,talented yet still a "cool" kid as well.
I love how u addressed about how Abbie likes being touched but not all people who have autism do. Anyone I have known before finding your channel would always pull away or have a meltdown if they were to b touched. I personally don’t have anyone (that Ik in my family with it) Ik with it but I love getting the education behind every medical condition I can 1. Cause of my previous medical/CNA background 2. Cause I always brought my 2 boys up to never stare or judged a person try to understand and care for people who r different (which happy to say both my boys will stick up for anyone who gets picked on) 3. So I can understand each condition so if I ever come into contact with a person with that condition whether just in passing or if they need help I can better understand how to interact. So TY SO MUCH for all the educational info I have received from your family. I truly love u all!!
I just love what ur family represents...u r wonderful parents and so real and just inspiring. I have no person on the spectrum in my life, but I learn so much about parenting my 9 & 14 yr old from the way u guys raise ur children. Bless u al
Asa because of you and Priscilla me and my boyfriend started a podcast because I have autisum and it's the best outlet ever I get to discuss struggles and triumphs
Y’all FaceTiming in the parking lot whilst having the picnic is adorable. I hope this past week has been wonderful, no words for the admiration for the way you’re handling the needless drama all whilst going through such precious moments a family, still being you, coming together, being kind, a family, and even going so far as apologising to your viewers. Wonderful humans.
The part with just Percilla and Issa driving has been my fav vlog so far. it was nice to see them spending time on the camera as a couple and not just your many roles you have had to take on over the years ...always authentic maass family!!
Abbie did a great job with mom and dads support navigating all those little and big steps. That was interesting about the bathroom being a safe haven. I laughed along with you when Isaiah was dancing to Summer’s piano playing. Love this family ❤️
You guys, in light of the BS you’ve had going on, I just want to share why I watch your videos...I knew nothing about autism before I started watching, and I still have no real “need” to know, like I have no one in my life living with autism, but I always feel really inspired by the type of parents and advocates you are. Being a parent, I think, is the most important job you can have, and I think you guys do it really well, and under some really difficult circumstances sometimes. I just appreciate watching you love your kids.
Daniel Thurber Every autism child is different. What is difficult for one child it’s not difficult for another. And that floorplan if you look at their older videos it’s not too much different than the one she had before they moved there. She just like area that she can run laps in and she has two at this house where she only had one of the other.
My daughter has rhe floor pattern and floor transition issues as well. I actually use bright red masking tape along my steps, so when my daughter looks down the steps, there is the contrast of the bright red tape right at the edge to help show where the step ends. It's depth perception, sensory related, and stuff. You have a sense called proprioception that deals with knowing where your body is in space... it can be a struggle with sensory processing disorder.
@@caroljulian6505 the issue is not with the floor plan (as in where rooms are in relation to others). It's with the patterns on the floor. Where tile transitions to wood plank, more what the floor looks like than how the rooms are laid out.
I was thinking. If you and Cilla designed your own house. It would be amazing to see how you guys would design it to support what Abbie needs. I think it would be awesome!
I put off watching this video because i knew all the feels would hit me. Makes me think of when my older sister went off to college i wasn't able to go along on her adventure so thank you for sharing yours!
Hi guys I am Cheryl from Australia everytime I see someone cry in real life or You tube or movies I cry as well 😭 I feel so sad that your son is leaving the family .
Y’all just make me smile so big every time I watch. I love your fam bam so much! Please keep doin what you do please and thank you 😊 Have a very blessed day 🤍
I can’t imagine your videos without Isaiah 😢 your whole family makes all these videos so awesome to watch ❤️ that being said I wish you the best in college 📚 📝
Of course she will get through it shes a trooper she loves travelling in the car and that helps her loads and the music helps too. She is alot more confident now and less anxious. Even if she is anxious she as she battles through it cos she knows that she has support if she needs it
I love this family so much wishing Isaiah all the best in who new adventure i have my college grad photos toomrow and in mid November i can finally say i will graduate with a advanced diploma in child and youth care everytime i watch you guys i feel like. Part of the family you have taught me so much and have made me purse working with young adults who have Autism and given me great knowledge with my ABA work wishing you all the best ❤❤🤗🤘
Glad you all had a safe drive. I hope you have some family adventures before you drop Isiah off at uni. Watching the last few days of you getting everything together for uni, has brought back great memories to me of when I was getting ready to go away to Uni in Liverpool. I kinda understand Abbies struggle. But I’m the opposite to her as I’m an adult with ASD. I also have SPD. But unlike Abb I hate most forms of physical contact with other people.(hugs, holding hands etc) according to my parents I’ve never been a “huggy kinda person” Sending you all loads of AUsome love from me over here in England. 💜💪🏻🧩💙
Isaiah, I cant believe you are in college already. I wish you luck . I know its a big change for everyone. i love yalls video's. Abby, leaning new stuff everyday. I'm so proud of you Abby.
I have been catching up on videos (I like to binge your videos haha). And I have been so mad about all the hate you guys have been getting from 2020 to now....and this video, watching yall walk Abbie through the house and be so in tune with her every need was amazing. I don't know how anyone could ever accuse you of anything but loving your daughter. When she was scared, she clung to Asa and Cilla...she didn't try to get away from them. They are her security. It's a psychology thing. If you're being abused or harmed by someone, you arent going to run to them for security when you are anxious or scared. Abbie CLEARLY sees her parents as her security blanket and clings to them when she needs them most 💜
We just dropped my little brother off for his 2nd year at APP. it's an amazing school and an amazing community . He has pretty bad anxiety and we both have a seizure disorder and he thrives there he absolutely loves it .
Being on the spectrum myself, I have difficulties with touch too. But the difference is who initiates the touch. Someone touching me first is very uncomfortable, but if I initiate a hug, I love being hugged back.
In Our house we were considered still at home until we graduated from college. Our bedroom floor bedroom but we had to keep it neat for visitors came over and I started post yesterday but I forgot
We only have one child. He is now 35 and he still has his bedroom with most of his things. He is single and lives in Palo Alto, Ca and he lives in a studio apt. He’ll always have his bedroom even if he gets married and has 5 kids 😂 it will always be his home!
Weight No More 4 Darla. I am M 50 some years old and I have lived with my parents most of my life. I have called her parents and when I was about ready to move out they start having health problems. And I think the Lord knew I need to stay home to take care of them my dad ended up with that heart problems and my mom and her cancer. And I have never regret I neither did them. I did have help with them when my sister moved back to town. But she also had a family of her own
Carol Julian that was a great sacrifice on your part and I commend you for being so selfless. It is so very hard being a caretaker and I hope you remembered to take care of yourself too. I cared for my mother while she was still able to live alone after the passing of my father, but then she had to move in with me and my husband in 2015 where she passed Approx two months later. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of her passing. Life is never the same 😢 I hope you’re taking time for yourself now and trying to enjoy life through this pandemic mess! Take care 🌷
I love the way how Isaiah played on the piano. awesome great job Isaiah. Wishing you all the best to your new journey in college. abby is so loved by her family and her little brother Isaiah.
a sad day yet exciting for him i’d be so upset leaving the pets but college new adventures,meeting new friends the dogs so adorable hope he does vlogs another great video
We just dropped off our oldest daughter at Furman University yesterday. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. What makes it difficult is that we also have a daughter with special needs and they are very close. I pray the days will get easier. We work hard to prepare them for this stage in life but it's still difficult. Stay strong!!
I love you guys sensitivity to Abbie needs and feelings. Summer that is all I Can play to. You are such a lovely family. I so enjoy spending part of your day with you.💓
Rainy Day, did Auto correct just hit you? Think you meant sensitivity, not insensitivity. It always irks me when I use the correct word and spell the word correctly and then auto correct changes it for something that makes no sense at all!!
I literally love this family so much! I hope Isaiah has a wonderful experience at school, and I really hope y'all are able to cope with him not being home! Just know you guys raised a fine young man and everything is gonna be just perfect!!💙💙💙 Love y'all!!
The floor patterns are really a challenge but, Abbie at least will walk on them if she has someone with her. It is hard seeing her struggle but, I know she will get comfortable soon. It makes you wonder what she is thinking. She doesn't really know what college is and she sees all of Isaiah's things in the cars and now she is in a different house. All of us had to adjust to all the changes to our lives with the virus and Abbie seems to have adjusted to that. Now, your family will be adjusting to not having Isaiah at home. I expect we will see some acting out behaviors as Abbie adjusts. I know she will adjust though but will be very happy when he does come home. I am glad there are things that allow facetime with Isaiah as that will make things a little easier for all of you. Isaiah is going to do well in college. You have raised him well and he is a smart young man who cares about others. I look forward to hopefully seeing him on an occasional vlog maybe through facetime or when he comes home. Please tell him how proud the whole Maass squad is of him.
I don't have autism, but I have no depth perception. No way could I do those stairs. Abbie did great. It is awesome watching y'all help Abbie through her issue with new places.
I teared up so many times during this vlog. I am so happy that Isaiah gets this new chapter in his life. But he will be missed on the vlog. Especially during your kitchen chats. Asa, I agree with you. White cheddar cheez-its are the best!!
🇫🇮SISU!!🇫🇮I'm Finnish too!! CoOol🇫🇮 Yay!! Used to watch ESPN Strongman Competition ONLY because of Jouko Ahola🇫🇮Janne Virtanen!! They looked SoOo much like my brother and his sons. When I used to watch, Finland was always in the Top 5 Overall🇫🇮Top 3 when it was just them alone. Always!! 🇫🇮Finland Rules!!🇫🇮
That floor is trippy but so cool that you walking her through it like that. With a kid you didn’t know that could stop them going somewhere and stop their whole day and build up fear for future visits and no one would be able to work it out. You rock! But you know that right? It’s the top of stairs and what we call escalators here in the U.K. I don’t know what they call them in the US.
I went to a State school that was a commuter college and I ended up commuting from home. Well it definitely made life easier since I have chronic illnesses I think it also made my mom, aunt, and grandmother (who all lived there) happy because I was at home all the time and they didn’t have to send me off. 🤷♀️😄
I seriously love your family ❤️I had to laugh just a little when Asa said what’s the worst thing that could happen she get into a box of nature valley bars. I’m with Abbie that’s the first thing id go for there one of my favorite snacks ever. ❤️
Heart and soul, Billy Joel, what more do you need? Awesome music choices. That air bed and breakfast sounds like a really neat place. Isaiah, have a wonderful time at college.
Have a safe trip. I am going to miss Issiah so freaking much. I'm sure he will do great in college. He will have so many stories when he comes back home for Thanksgiving. Be safe your a smart and level headed man you will be fine. Your parents taught you well.
Abbie is helping me help locals get adapted to autism, I would’ve never thought about the wood/steps/stair transition... you’re educating the Freak out of us “NORMALS”. Thank you, I know there’s been a ton of 💩 & the 🗑 🔥 that happened recently but, just thanks asa!
"Everyone on the autism spectrum is different."
Preach it. People need to understand this!
Indeed they do even I know that come on even neurotypical people are different. We are all different after all it's what makes the people we are and it shapes us as individuals.
I absolutely love that while Abbie is nervous in new places, she always seems willing to try new things with some mom and dad support.
Abbie standing next to Summer while she played piano was the cutest thing!
Trying to mentally prepare myself for Priscilla crying cuz she always gets me
Laura Francis SAAAAME! And I am NOT a cryer usually lol but these guys just get me sometimes! Plus we’ve all watched him grow up! Lol
That house is a nightmare for someone with bad or no depth perception.
Those steps, I'd die lol
Yes. I get why those stairs could be a problem.
@@TheCollectorsSin Just watching the stairs I couldn't focus on the steps illusion wise it was all one floor. Cool concept for the house though!! HAHA!
honestly, i agree!
Jessa Winters me too!
I’m a lot like Abbie when it comes to sensory touching and closeness with others, I don’t mind hugs, I cling when I’m scared or I’m not sure of my surroundings, and when I’m emotional I get extremely clingy. I love to sit and hold hands with my husband, for comfort and closeness. You are right, the spectrum is made of many differences.
When Priscilla plugged her phone in and Alexander Hamilton started playing... I relate to that so much!!! 😂
Same!!!
MEEE!! ♡
Same! When Asa said why are we playing Hamilton, I wanted to say “why aren’t we always playing Hamilton?!” I love Hamilton!
I started singing 🤣😂🤣 I'm at work and my coworker looked at me like I'm crazy. I am crazy...so not the point but still 🤣😂
Me toooooo
I’m so sad Isaiah is leaving I’m gonna miss seeing him in the vlogs
I can't believe he's ready for college. We are all going to miss him on the vlogg. Have a great trip everyone
My heart goes out to ya all. Kida leaving for college is bitter sweet. Pride and sadness all wrapped up together. Youll miss him more then I can describe but there are always school breaks. Youve done a goid job with your son. Hes responsible and hes gonna do great!
I hope you’re having a great trip! Enjoy your last couple of days with Isaiah. I love all of you and will miss Isaiah in the vlogs.
You can always judge the kindness of a family by how they treat their animals, who have no voice.
You guys take great care of them and love them and they return the love and gratitude for being rescued. I can see sadness in Isaiah’s eyes as he’s holding his cat. Please be assured Isaiah she will be waiting for you and will see you soon.
I love Abbie of course but Isaiah is great, he was so funny doing his dances loved it!
He’s not even my kid .. and even I Cried! Gonna miss him in the videos. You guys should be proud... raised an amazing kid❤️
Also.. I’m just want to say, I hope the ridiculous allegations about (mostly Summer and Isaiah) don’t ever make them want to shy away from the camera.. I hope Summer continues to love Abbie as her best friend and Isaiah shows his humor on camera. I know Asa and Cilla have been through it before and know how to let it roll off their backs. Just wanted to put in my two cents. Enjoy your last few days with the boy before the rest of you head home 💚💙
Abbie is so sweet. My daughter is 15 and she has additional needs and doesn’t like change. It takes her awhile to get used to new things ❤️💙
I have asd myself change is definitely a source of anxiety for me.
Issiahs so blessed to have you guys. My mom helped me move out to college last year and suddenly stopped talking me to me haven't spoken to her since I moved out. Not all parents are amazing,so for those of you who have parents you can rely on your truly blessed.
The little town that Isaiah is moving to is so cute i love it down there
I have no sensory processing disorders and I would 100% fall down those steps every time
Me, too! I'd break my fool neck!!
Me too I’m a klutz. My dad used to say I was an accident looking to happen. Between 18 months and three years old I was either in the hospital or doctors office 18 Hines. Now that I’m 58 I’m still a klutz I just burnt my hand for a second time in less than a month and it was the same hand that I put in at the age of three that I had to have skin grafting on. At least I keep burning the same hand LOL
When summer was playing the piano n Isaiah was dancing. Hysterical. That's awesome Isaiah plays piano. He is so sweet,talented yet still a "cool" kid as well.
I love how u addressed about how Abbie likes being touched but not all people who have autism do.

So TY SO MUCH for all the educational info I have received from your family. I truly love u all!!
Aww love you guys! Isaiah, have the time of your life! You deserve it. These will be four of the best years of your journey!
I just love what ur family represents...u r wonderful parents and so real and just inspiring. I have no person on the spectrum in my life, but I learn so much about parenting my 9 & 14 yr old from the way u guys raise ur children. Bless u al
Oh Isaiah you have so much to look forward to with this new adventure. Abbie is an absolutely amazing young lady. You all be safe.
Asa because of you and Priscilla me and my boyfriend started a podcast because I have autisum and it's the best outlet ever I get to discuss struggles and triumphs
Y'all have a safe trip and I hope you thrive in college Isaiah.. whos cutting onions?
Y’all FaceTiming in the parking lot whilst having the picnic is adorable. I hope this past week has been wonderful, no words for the admiration for the way you’re handling the needless drama all whilst going through such precious moments a family, still being you, coming together, being kind, a family, and even going so far as apologising to your viewers.

I love how you walked Abbie through to make sure she felt safe. She is so loved.
Wishing Isaiah the best of luck in this new chapter of life! We'll miss you, but we know your out there to change the world! ❤
Abbie did a great job with mom and dads support navigating all those little and big steps.
That was interesting about the bathroom being a safe haven.
I laughed along with you when Isaiah was dancing to Summer’s piano playing.
Love this family ❤️
I can't believe Isaiah graduated, going to college wow .. All of Us Subscribers are so proud of You ..
.😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗.
I'm not gonna cry..... I'm not gonna cry......
I said that also, but started last vlog when he was sorting his things😞
You guys, in light of the BS you’ve had going on, I just want to share why I watch your videos...I knew nothing about autism before I started watching, and I still have no real “need” to know, like I have no one in my life living with autism, but I always feel really inspired by the type of parents and advocates you are.

I just appreciate watching you love your kids.
Thx for taking us on the Isaiah road trip. And interesting sensory insights regarding Abbie in new places.
I didnt even think how the floor pattern could be an issue for abby.
Same, it’s so interesting to me how little things can bother some people. I need to research more about Autism.
Cheyenne Halliger It’s not just autism. She has sensory processing disorder as well.

I actually use bright red masking tape along my steps, so when my daughter looks down the steps, there is the contrast of the bright red tape right at the edge to help show where the step ends.
It's depth perception, sensory related, and stuff.
You have a sense called proprioception that deals with knowing where your body is in space... it can be a struggle with sensory processing disorder.
@@caroljulian6505 the issue is not with the floor plan (as in where rooms are in relation to others). It's with the patterns on the floor. Where tile transitions to wood plank, more what the floor looks like than how the rooms are laid out.
We are going to miss you Isaiah! Best of luck and great wishes for college! Enjoy it and love it up!!
Abbie you're amazing. So proud of you and how you managed to settle in. ❤
I wish you the best Issah with college. Were sure going to miss you on the vlogs. Sending all the love to all.
I was thinking. If you and Cilla designed your own house. It would be amazing to see how you guys would design it to support what Abbie needs. I think it would be awesome!
ooh that would be soo cool to see what they think of as necessary for Abbie they I wouldn't even think of
My sister is on the Autism spectrum as well. She is like Abigail and loves to be touched.
Best of luck & best wishes Isaiah! Really gonna miss you on the vlogs! Enjoy college! Have fun! Stay safe! Much love!
Miss you Isaiah .....youll be great at anything you do 💯❤👏🙏🏼💞😍
Love watching how lovingly you guide her to a new environment. She knows it’s ok when mum and dad are near. 💕🌈
My son also likes touch when feeling anxious. He kisses, hugs and squeezes me when overwhelmed
I put off watching this video because i knew all the feels would hit me. Makes me think of when my older sister went off to college i wasn't able to go along on her adventure so thank you for sharing yours!
Abbie is just so adorable. I am trying to get a diagnosis for my 6yr old
Hi guys I am Cheryl from Australia everytime I see someone cry in real life or You tube or movies I cry as well 😭 I feel so sad that your son is leaving the family .
U can;t believe he is all grown up!
Y’all just make me smile so big every time I watch. I love your fam bam so much! Please keep doin what you do please and thank you 😊 Have a very blessed day 🤍
I can’t imagine your videos without Isaiah 😢 your whole family makes all these videos so awesome to watch ❤️ that being said I wish you the best in college 📚 📝
Of course she will get through it shes a trooper she loves travelling in the car and that helps her loads and the music helps too. She is alot more confident now and less anxious. Even if she is anxious she as she battles through it cos she knows that she has support if she needs it
The anxiety must make her spd worse.
I love this family so much wishing Isaiah all the best in who new adventure i have my college grad photos toomrow and in mid November i can finally say i will graduate with a advanced diploma in child and youth care everytime i watch you guys i feel like. Part of the family you have taught me so much and have made me purse working with young adults who have Autism and given me great knowledge with my ABA work wishing you all the best ❤❤🤗🤘

Awesome way to send Isaiah off. So fun and cozy. Great place to stay!
I really enjoy watching your vlogs
Abbies hair looks so pretty. Isaiah looks very happy.
Isaiah, I cant believe you are in college already. I wish you luck . I know its a big change for everyone. i love yalls video's. Abby, leaning new stuff everyday. I'm so proud of you Abby.
ohhh my heart. praying for him and yall. i pray for him as he takes this next step in his life. be safe out there
So excited for Isaiah! These will be some of the best years of your life ♥️

And I have been so mad about all the hate you guys have been getting from 2020 to now....and this video, watching yall walk Abbie through the house and be so in tune with her every need was amazing.

Abbie CLEARLY sees her parents as her security blanket and clings to them when she needs them most 💜
It’s heartbreaking when our kids go off to college, but it gets easier💞 the hardest is when they come home on holidays then leave again!
We just dropped my little brother off for his 2nd year at APP. it's an amazing school and an amazing community . He has pretty bad anxiety and we both have a seizure disorder and he thrives there he absolutely loves it .
This was fun! Thanks for taking us along. Not only did we learn something new about sensory but we got to smile and laugh too!

I love the way how Isaiah played on the piano. awesome great job Isaiah. Wishing you all the best to your new journey in college. abby is so loved by her family and her little brother Isaiah.
Dropping my son off at college was one of my proudest but definitely the toughest day. Cried the whole way home.
you guys are the best parents and meant to be abbie’s parents it’s so beautiful to see ❤️ it warms my heart
a sad day yet exciting for him i’d be so upset leaving the pets but college new adventures,meeting new friends the dogs so adorable hope he does vlogs another great video
WHATS the worse that can happen ? She can get into a box of nature valley bars.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious. That just cracked me up !
👍♥️👍🤣
Have a Wonderful experience😎
We just dropped off our oldest daughter at Furman University yesterday. It is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. What makes it difficult is that we also have a daughter with special needs and they are very close. I pray the days will get easier. We work hard to prepare them for this stage in life but it's still difficult. Stay strong!!
I love you guys sensitivity to Abbie needs and feelings. Summer that is all I Can play to. You are such a lovely family. I so enjoy spending part of your day with you.💓
Rainy Day, did Auto correct just hit you? Think you meant sensitivity, not insensitivity. It always irks me when I use the correct word and spell the word correctly and then auto correct changes it for something that makes no sense at all!!
@@teresamariner4238 oops so sorry. Fixed it!
cherish the fond memories! Isaiah, you'll make the best of your college experiences! don't stress about the little things! and make big things count!
I literally love this family so much! I hope Isaiah has a wonderful experience at school, and I really hope y'all are able to cope with him not being home! Just know you guys raised a fine young man and everything is gonna be just perfect!!💙💙💙 Love y'all!!
The floor patterns are really a challenge but, Abbie at least will walk on them if she has someone with her. It is hard seeing her struggle but, I know she will get comfortable soon. It makes you wonder what she is thinking. She doesn't really know what college is and she sees all of Isaiah's things in the cars and now she is in a different house. All of us had to adjust to all the changes to our lives with the virus and Abbie seems to have adjusted to that. Now, your family will be adjusting to not having Isaiah at home. I expect we will see some acting out behaviors as Abbie adjusts. I know she will adjust though but will be very happy when he does come home. I am glad there are things that allow facetime with Isaiah as that will make things a little easier for all of you. Isaiah is going to do well in college. You have raised him well and he is a smart young man who cares about others. I look forward to hopefully seeing him on an occasional vlog maybe through facetime or when he comes home. Please tell him how proud the whole Maass squad is of him.
Abbie Should be the face of home decorating interior designing for people on the spectrum LOL she makes so much sense
Maveric was probably telling Sandy "Calm down kid, you're embarrassing me!"
I don't have autism, but I have no depth perception. No way could I do those stairs. Abbie did great. It is awesome watching y'all help Abbie through her issue with new places.
Love your family and the daily vlogs
Nice place there family looking after abbie
I have mild Asperger's Autism Syndrome. I empathize a lot with Abby and you all. We are all one community.
I teared up so many times during this vlog. I am so happy that Isaiah gets this new chapter in his life. But he will be missed on the vlog. Especially during your kitchen chats. Asa, I agree with you. White cheddar cheez-its are the best!!
As a Finn, it warmed my heart a lot that you pronounced sauna perfectly.
I watch Matti Haapoja on YT. He says it a lot lol.
🇫🇮SISU!!🇫🇮I'm Finnish too!! CoOol🇫🇮

Was looking for this comment! 😂
Great video guys. Thank you so very much for for taking us along. Great work Isaiah Wonderful.😂😂😂🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
That floor is trippy but so cool that you walking her through it like that. With a kid you didn’t know that could stop them going somewhere and stop their whole day and build up fear for future visits and no one would be able to work it out. You rock! But you know that right? It’s the top of stairs and what we call escalators here in the U.K. I don’t know what they call them in the US.
Gonna miss you Isaiah! ❤️ Have a great time at college!! Love you guys ☺️
Isaiah dancing to the piano was everything!!! The backing it up, naynay head/hair swing had me in stiches!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I went to a State school that was a commuter college and I ended up commuting from home. Well it definitely made life easier since I have chronic illnesses I think it also made my mom, aunt, and grandmother (who all lived there) happy because I was at home all the time and they didn’t have to send me off. 🤷♀️😄
I seriously love your family ❤️I had to laugh just a little when Asa said what’s the worst thing that could happen she get into a box of nature valley bars. I’m with Abbie that’s the first thing id go for there one of my favorite snacks ever. ❤️
Heart and soul, Billy Joel, what more do you need? Awesome music choices. That air bed and breakfast sounds like a really neat place. Isaiah, have a wonderful time at college.
Loved Isaiah’s dance moves💞 His humor is awesomeness 🥰. Enjoy your college years young man
Love your family!!
Have a safe trip. I am going to miss Issiah so freaking much. I'm sure he will do great in college. He will have so many stories when he comes back home for Thanksgiving. Be safe your a smart and level headed man you will be fine. Your parents taught you well.
Beautiful song isiah well miss u so much stay safe enjoy collage life
I Want to Wish Isaiah the Best at School!!!! Please Stay Safe & Healthy, Isaiah!!!! Have a Great Time!!! I know you will do Well!!!
When you guys were showing Abbie around my heart melted! Sweetest and best parents EVER ❤️🥰 love you guys!
Abbie is helping me help locals get adapted to autism, I would’ve never thought about the wood/steps/stair transition... you’re educating the Freak out of us “NORMALS”. Thank you, I know there’s been a ton of 💩 & the 🗑 🔥 that happened recently but, just thanks asa!
Thank you for sending me the two tee shirts I really enjoy them thank you michele doleski from Tampa florida
