Everything that has happened since that, like with her being accepted, she says it best. How does it make you feel? It's the same for me. I feel like she's accepted. It's not about celebrity or people recognizing you. I am so grateful for every single person that just says, we love you.
yeah like for us it's just like liquid gold i mean it's those moments of just gratitude and human connection and just that acceptance and we hope that other people like abby and their caregivers that when they're out in the world that other people will embrace their differences rather than judge them yeah that's what i'm hoping
Because it's very, very difficult when you're at the elementary school and she's having a meltdown because the bell went off and all the parents are staring at you.
Because of auditory. It was hurtful. It hurt your ears. See, a bell to me is a pain. It's annoying. But it hurts her ears. It's painful. And that's the difference because she's processing auditory sound very differently than I am.
Amazing and... Tay, his wife, is also amazing and lovely. And they just made Abby feel and me so welcomed and just kind of go with the flow. We had a really great time with them. That's awesome. And what's their dog's name? Remy.
That's their dog. What kind of dog was Remy? I can't remember, but beautiful dog.
Cute. We have a puppy at our house now, so that's been amazing. You have a puppy? My son came back from Indiana with a puppy that's a mini Australian Shepherd.
cute and I've never actually had a small dog in my life I've only had big dogs so we're in love with this little this little angel well yeah I was listening to you guys on the squeeze and you said that your dog Clementine is 75 pounds that's a big dog that's a big dog yeah big baby big dog we love her she's a mixed we rescued her
I just want the dog. We had a helper that lived with us. So Abby was terribly afraid of dogs. And in autism for us, there's certain things that Abby, I don't think, can really explain. But one of them is the feeling of being startled. So we used to think that it was the octave of a dog barking that hurt her ears.
but now i'm sort of zeroing in on it's the startling that happens when a dog barks abruptly oh and i think that's the thing that you know you have to really peel away the layers so that really made her be afraid of all dogs at all times we get this helper she moved into my house to help me out we were bartering that's how i got through my single motherhood is i'd have someone move into my back room and then
her dog bedroom and she had a dog she said and i love this girl so much and she brought her dog her american bulldog and she's like oh i want my dog to move into diesel diesel's his name yeah he was his name he passed away but he was he spoke in dog language that he was he was barking to say change the memory
Is that what you think?
Right, because she was living with a dog and this was a very sweet dog. She learned that dogs bark when they're like scared or they're just someone knocked on the door. And she slowly lost the fear of the dog barking and the reaction. So we had been talking about getting Abby her own dog so she could learn responsibility. And it could be her dog. pet to take care of.
Diesel got bone cancer and died in a very short window of time. And so our helper was in Joshua Tree with some friends. And she said, I saw a sign that said free puppies on the side of the road. Some woman was giving them away. And she called me on one Sunday. She said, I've had a spiritual moment with this puppy that has come to me and crawled up into my arms.
And this is just what Diesel did when I rescued him from the pound. And she said, I think Diesel is bringing this dog to you. And I said, I just said, I trust your instinct. If this is the dog we're supposed to have, bring it. And Clementine then was there within six hours. I was not prepared. I had nothing. And we had this puppy and the rest is history.
And Clementine has been a very, very important part of Abby's life.
Oh. Can I help explain that to you? Yes. So what she's saying is that that internet sound from the dial-up modem is very pleasant and very pleasing to her. It calms her down. So when she's feeling dysregulated, she's working in speech, that listening to that sound, which you can just Google, is regulating for her.
Not my choice, not my understanding.
It's the memory of, I think, the sound, which brings her back to a feeling and a time that she was relaxed or something. So that's why she prefers that. I think it's kind of a cool sound effect.
Her friend Alana Stewart does AOL. Alana Stewart does. She's older. That's the whole joke with the people that got their emails 20 years ago.
