Autism OCD or He never Learned to Deal with "NO"?

Is it Nick's OCD that causes him to obsess over ponytail hair or is it because we give in too much to him and he just doesn't know how to deal with being told," No"? 5:15. Shannon and I were all alone with Nick this past Sunday and we made the best of it. First, we went to the beach. Then we came home and made pepperoni pizza together in our wood-fired brick pizza oven #autism #ocd #autismawareness #autismbehavior #nickytv

    "WE HAVE A WINNER!" Another great t shirt saying! It's such a perfect day. I love when Nicky talks and is able to tell you what he wants. Watch for a package! Hope your week goes well. I definitely think you are on the right track with helping Nick understand better social norms. I know it will take time, but with his growth, he will get it. Yum. Pepperoni 🍕! Shannon, you are an inspiration. Your honesty and easy going nature is precious. I'm sure you have strong ideas, but you are willing to change as necessary. Except no chickens! Flamingos!

I will looking you up!! 🍕😋 Awesome vlog again John, hope Johnny is good as we didn't see him today, Shannon I'm still in awe of your hair!!!! ❤ One thing I did notice, there never seems to be anyone else on that bit of beach you go to? Do you check before you suggest it to Nicky? And how is the water always 'in' 🤔 Here in the UK when the tide goes out, it goes out miles and you literally can't get to the water at low tide in some places ..... 🤔🤔 Love you guys xx

    When I first came to the US from Russia my mom and grandma told me that when I was little when I saw strangers I would give them hugs. Now that I’m 20 and been adopted for 16 years I learned as I got older not to hug strangers or random people who I didn’t know. I’m still a hugger. I love give hugs to my friends and family.

    That pizza tho!!!! I could smell that from here!!! And when you put the garlic oil on it I was no good. I don't understand why people are not lined up in your yard. So glad today was a better day. Not many more bright sunny summer days left so make the best of them when they come. Sorry about Shannon's crab incident, but in all honesty, I couldn't help but laugh when you yelled at it. Have you watched any of the Fathering Autism videos where they teach Abbie how to tolerate things like a face mask or a blood pressure monitor by having her wear them while they count down from 10 to 0? I wonder if that would work for Nicky to get him used to seeing the things that bother him so badly? I hate to see him stress so hard over those triggers, and I know it isn't a matter of him not being tol 'no', it is a matter of a condition he has no control over. I would love to see the day when he looks at one of those triggers and just says 'Meh. What ever.' That will be an awesome day. You will get there, I have faith in you all. Until then, keep calm and paint a seashell.

That is a smart idea your friend had about the hair being up. I think it's just learning how to word things for him to process it differently, And I've seen you reword many things Because something's trigger him, So it's just a matter of figuring out what will work with him.

John don't let other peoples opinions of what Nicky " should or shouldnt be doing at his age", bother you, you just go ahead and teach him in a way that suits him best that he can understand. . I understand how challenging things can get at times because my daughter also has to put up with comments from other people about my granddaughters behaviour, or my daughters parenting style" because my granddaughter who has Autism, OCD, and sensory disorder , amongst other things, can become extremeley upset, which at times can lead to challenging behaviours or a meltdown if things arent happening the way they usually do, or the way she expects they should..
