Marie is amazing the way she take cares of her 2 little brothers is incredible. Good job
Yes she is! ❤️❤️❤️
its so cute how Simon has the camera and starts talking to it❤
Right! On the GoPro, there is a video on the front, so he could see himself, and he was having fun. 😊
Do you like to travel?
Yes
Nice! What’s your favorite road trip that you’ve been on?
Doing this (even as recently as the fairly recent video about the Sunday routine) seems to help Simon quite a bit with his speech.
It’s good to see that Simon is still moving forward pretty well after it looked at first like Ezra broke his bus. Talking to the camera and making video might be one of the things that has helped him with this. It also helps that his father was able to fix the bus (from the looks of it).
Simon and ezra is so cute 😊❤
Thank you. ❤️ Do you like to Travel?
Yes 😊
Awesome!
What’s been your favorite road trip?
To calefonia😊
For safety, I'd recommend switching drivers more often. My dad's policy on our family road trips is to switch every hour. He generally considers an eight hour day with driver changes to be a full day of travel (on the other hand, I imagine the logistics of a hotel room for 4 people are easier than for 7).
We generally don't pay too much attention to eating healthy on the road because getting out of the vehicle for an extended break for meals helps with fatigue, so we just select a restaurant from the "next exit" signs when people start getting hungry.
Very good advice! Thank you ❤️
I'm really loving your videos it always shows all the good, bad, and ugly, and each one gives me a better idea how to care for my newly diagnosed son.❤ (Sorry if I'm spamming you guys with likes and comments just wanna help you by interacting.)
Don’t be sorry. We love comments. The more the better. Thank you for sharing.❤️
That was a long trip in a full van but that is life with a big family. That’s great that you packed your lunch and dinner for everyone. Saves on money and you have to because of food sensitivities.
Agreed!!! Do you like traveling?
I really enjoyed the video😊 and the tips to survive a road trip with little kids thank you.

Thanks 😊
You Bet! Thank You. ❤️
It’s good to see that Simon already knows the words “baby” here and the word “bunny”. I think I was at least 4 years old when I learned those words (if not five).
Hearing the words “bunny” and “hop” reminds me that I once heard a PDQ Bach song with the lyrics “Little bunny hop, hop, hop”.
Thank you for sharing!💕💕
What a long road trip! The kids did great! I love the pool!!
Thanks so much
When I saw the parts of this video about holding your breath while going through a tunnel I remembered the Tiny Toons episode about how they spent their summer vacation. I remembered the scene with that and the part where they were looking for cars to pass the time.
I remember that my sister and I were asked to find a specific color of car on some of our road trips. The joke in the Tiny Toons episode was that they were looking for any car (which plucky was annoyed by (it makes sense in context)).
That episode of Tiny Toons is an example of animation that is mostly interesting for adults, teens, and maybe some older kids because younger kids might not get the jokes and at least a few scenes might be scary for very young kids.
Thank you for sharing!💕💕
God bless you and your beautiful family. Thank you so so much for sharing. Love your content it has help me and my wife understand much more and be more optimistic and focus on the positive
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️❤️ God bless you and your’s. ❤️

Do you like traveling?
@@7Aheadfamily Yes, with the right preparation(snacks and such)and a tablet we travelled up to 8 hours by car to Denmark.
Thats awesome! Yes, Preparation is key. :)
I have to do everything the night before. Transitions like what you did making breakfast looks exhausting I would get overwhelmed and nothing would get done we can always go tomorrow. Joking
😂👍
You're much more polite waking up Mark and Benson than my mom was at that point in my life. By that time she was content to troll mercilessly:
"Do you hear that loud annoying noise? It's your mother's voice!"
I've always had trouble eating and digesting after an early wake-up. Probably what's going on with Ezra.
Agreed! I think you’re right ❤️
Simon has had that bus for longer than I remembered. I guess that explains partly why he’s so attached to it and why he was so upset when he thought that Ezra broke it in a recent video.
Thank you for sharing!💕💕
At breakfast I like when Simon looked like he was thinking about what
Am I going to do today 😂
Right! So cute. 😊
Do you like to travel?
I watch movies, pet my cats and play smash bros on my Nintendo switch when driving to my cottage which is a 9 hour drive. My family is my parents me and my brother (not including my imaginary siblings and friends) but I also have 3 cats which we always take with us to our cottage as well.
That’s so awesome! And your cottage is in Canada right?
@@7Aheadfamily Yes it is. It’s 9 hours east from where I live
So cool! Yeah we need to get up there sometime. 😊 Canada has a lot of beautiful places.
@@7Aheadfamily Yes it does
@@Sonicfan-cc1te ❤️❤️❤️
I usually play games or listen to some of my favourite song when I have a long trip like this, or sleep since I would probably tired when I have a long trip for about several hours long
Nice! Those are some good activities. 😊
Do you all listen 2 the radio or play car games, like you can look 4 as many states of license plates you see.. There's a ton of games 2 play in the car if look them up..
I know right. 😁 We actually usually do play a scavenger hunt game, but we were running so late on this trip that we forgot that, but yes, the kids do love to play games in the car. I think we did that in this video where we traveled 1010 miles in one day in the RV, but I cant remember for sure.

It almost sounds like Ezra was trying to say “yeah” when you asked him if he sees the puppy. Maybe he can learn that word at some point.
Good idea!💕
My parents are heading to Toronto next month. My father is also going to Vancouver after several days in Toronto. My mother is going to China, and me and my sister will be home alone for several days and she’ll take me to the school for lunch supervision. ✈️🏠🇨🇦🇨🇳
Awesome! Sounds like you guys like to travel. 😊

Yeah, travel can be a lot of work. 😊

How old are the neurotypical kids? They are really so helpful with their little brothers.they seem to know what to do already. I wonder how you manage their gadget use too. They dont seem to engage too much on it.
Thank you, yes they are great kids. Here is a video where we introduce the kids and give ages...

Did you do any work on Simon’s daytime toilet training during this road trip (e.g. after you got to the destination and Simon had some time to adjust) in order to help Simon generalize or did you put his training on hold until after Simon got back home? What are your thoughts on road trips and how they relate to potty training?
Also if you already knew about Simon’s PDA at this point in time maybe you can cover this in the future when you eventually do a video about PDA as it relates to potty training specifically in terms of how it relates to how potty training should be handled with PDA and autism on road trips and other long drives and some of the pros and cons of various approaches in connection with this.
My mother didn’t really work on my training (as such) when I was on the family trip to Nantucket at age three-and-a-half aside from pointing out to me when a wetting or a movement seemed to be in progress in order to work on bodily awareness (sort of like what is done in EC (elimination communication) minus the part about using a receptacle.
My first road trip after being toilet trained during the day (for the most part at least) was a drive to Niagara Falls (New York and Ontario) that was shorter than the road trip in this video (if you only made a small number of stops) but not by much. I was six years old, almost seven on that road trip and my training at that point was still enough of a work in progress that my parents needed to make frequent stops to keep me from regressing too much in this area during the trip. At that point in time I still didn’t mind being wet all that much (aside from wet hands and wet feet (especially when my shoes or socks would get wet)) and my ability to feel embarrassed would only seem to start working a few years later (around age nine or so). It looks like in some instances the ability to feel embarrassed can begin later when someone is level two (like I was around that age). Now that I’m level one my ability to feel embarrassed is probably fairly normal (but then again this can be difficult to measure). This can vary from person to person, though. For example, Ezra is level three and his social skills seem to better than mine were at that age even though he’s still nonverbal at this point in time.
Despite some accidents (of both types) here and there my parents managed to keep me daytime trained (and mostly out of diapers, aside from nighttime) on that road trip through a number of reminders and many bathroom breaks (including finding an out of the way area to pull over on one road where no rest rooms were available on the way home).
Some of my earlier clear memories come from the Nantucket trip (when I was three-and-a-half years old). I guess being on the spectrum (currently level one, but level two originally) helped me to develop episodic memories at an earlier age than you would typically see in someone neurotypical. This is not universal, though. My sister is on the spectrum (level one with hyperlexia (and she has always been level one)) and her clear memories started around age eight. This just goes to show that everyone whether autistic or neurotypical is unique. I have noticed that sometimes people seem to forget this.
This pretty much sums up my thoughts on these things for the time being.
Yes, and Simon is pretty much potty trained at night now as well, so we are excited about that.
@@7Aheadfamily That’s good to hear. He’s doing much better in that area than I did and better than some of my (presumably neurotypical) relatives in that area as well.
He is progressing!😊😊
I love how simon asks the camera if we are a movie
I’m also the type of person to make faces at the camera
Thats awesome. :)

@@7Aheadfamily when i go to canada
Simon you won 🏅.
Yes!
hello 7 ahead im late to the video but my son has autism and his favorite drink is bluey chocolate milk, he will starve himself and only drink chocolate milk. my point is the kids favorite drink will always help a little bit my son always wants chocolate milk and then when we give him red rooster which is an Australian restaurant he will scoff it which means shove it in his mouth because he's starving himself for chocolate milk he will have a fit if I say "there's no more chocolate milk" anyway ezras and everyone's favorite drink might help
edit:ever need help with autism im here for you
Thank you for sharing!💕💕💕
Based on how long ago this was filmed Simon was probably still in diapers for the trip.
If Simon was starting to get to the point of being embarrassed when he uses his diaper in front of other people that might explain why he was covering himself with the blanket.
On the other hand, if Simon wasn’t wetting his diaper at the moment (or if doing that didn’t really bother him yet) he might have been experiencing light sensitivity and/or visual overload.
Or he was copying what the person in the seat next to him was doing. Maybe they were playing some kind of a game.
Thank you for your insight!💜💜
I would have done more road friendly food. Nothing 2 messy.
Yeah, that Salad was a little tough, but healthy. :)

@@7Aheadfamily Oh their called safety beds . Does socialization & communication issues fall under high functioning autism ?
Yes, Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by 3 specific challenges in social interaction, communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors.
loved the video :D it was so cute when simon talked to the camera !!
Thank You! ❤️ Yeah, he was so cute doing that. :)
Do you like to travel?
@@7Aheadfamily i enjoy traveling sometimes, i dont do it that much though :]
Yeah, it takes a lot of preparation and work too. 😊 Especially when you’re in an RV. Did you see this episode? Where we went 1010 miles in one day?

Simon & Ezra schould switch spots in your van. Ezra is more needy & requires more help but your older kids are doing it all & really you schould be doing most of that.. Jus my opinion.
Yeah, that’s a good thought, thanks for sharing ❤️
I hope you enjoy
Yes indeed
Question. Did any of your kids other than the 9th hour ? 15:52
I'm sorry. I don't understand your question. I looked at what was happening during that time stamp. It was during the 9th hour and I saw that we were all getting ice-cream shakes. All the kids got chocolate shakes.
@@7AheadfamilyI’m looking at my comment 3 months later and I don’t understand it either lol

What type of music was Simon listening to
That’s a good question, I will have to ask Benson. Actually, I guess I know all the music that’s on his MP3 player because I put it on there. 😊 It’s mostly just like wholesome Pop music, the Lego movie soundtrack. 😊
@@7Aheadfamily the best song from the lego movie is everything is awesome
Right! That’s such a good one ❤️.
How do you do such strong road trips? Me and my brother are both autistic. What keeps me and him busy in the road trips, iPads and phones
Here are 5 tips in this video...
th-cam.com/video/at6sR4a3qW0/w-d-xo.html
Let me know what you think of that 1010 Mile day. :)
Anybody any tips for how to get yourself to eat fruit and vegetables I get tummy issues cos I don't eat fruit I've tried smoothies when I was in hospital and they did smoothie Saturdays refused them at first vos they were green coloured so they put me strawberries in so it was a red colour reluctantly drank it not had smoothies since sll my life even my mum couldn't persuade me to eat fruit or vegetablesvi said its only for rabbits any ideas would be a great help thanks
That’s the cool thing about a smoothie is you can make it how you like it, and still get in a lot of nutritional things. Is there a favorite fruit you do have? For example, if you like mangoes, you can use the basic structure that I did on this shake and get a lot of greens and stuff in there, but then put in a bunch of mangoes and, you can have a pretty good tasting shake and still get all your vitamins.😊 The main thing, though, is mindset. You have to know your why, and it has to be stronger than you desire to not eat healthy.
why did you move marie to the way back and benson to the middle
I can’t remember how they decided their seating arrangements, but the other three work that out on their own. 😊
what about ezra and simon who picks there seats why do you put ezra way in the back and simon in the middle
Good Question. Ezra does better in the back where the older 2 kids can help him out with things back there if he needs it.❤️
Do you like to travel?
yes
Is your house to there grandma house far?
Yeah, it winds up being about a 13 Hour Drive . 😊

..and have been watching a few videos each day...., and oh my god yall, simon!! What?????? How is he so cute and smart??! I've actually did a literal lol at a couple things Simon said. It's not fair that y'all made such a cute kid! I mean God should've left some cute left for other parents. He basically used up all the cute on simon, this is not fair!
