What an incredibly sensible girl Ana is! Obviously some of us know that, but this session really brings that home. So mature in her thinking and knowledge. You've said in the past that Ana's mental age is around twice her physical age, but Ana is more sensible than some 16 year olds!
Ana you are wise beyond your years. You seem to find joy in most things. Nanna and Aaron , I couldn’t think of anyone better than you are to travel through life with Ana. Thank you for sharing ❤
I had to finish watching the rerun because I was on the train and didn’t have ear pods with me. It sounds so overwhelming but things will also fall in place just like your time range now. Things that found like a problem will happen. You’ll have friends who will help you. If you decide to go to school , there will be transportation to get you there etc. You’re so focused it will just happen as you go along.
Ana, your mom and dad are doing a great job preparing you for all the challenges you will face as you grow older. Puberty, dating and all that goes along with growing up is difficult even for all of us so called “able” people. But not all of us were blessed with caring and supportive parents like yours. So that is one advantage you already have. And also, you have a secret weapon……your intellect and your ability to rise to a challenge, and to enjoy being challenged. That’s not to say it will always be easy. But you will succeed, of that I have no doubt! 💙💙💙
Aaron looks like such a proud father and he is just setting there taking it all in and Ana is so smart just to think about being a teenager and thinking about her challenges she is so smart I think she can do anything she puts her mind to!!
This girl really has a good head on her shoulders. I’m amazed that she is able to think about her future and what challenges there may be. I really like her comment about time and how she thinks about it. The present moment, the morning of the day before to the evening of the next day. To me, that statement is gold and comes from the pure innocence of the child. I tend to worry about the future do much that it’s not good for me. Thank you Ana! I’m going to only think through the evening of the next day. Love you guys! Appreciate the series!
What a sweetheart you are Ana. You are an amazing human being. Most of us would never be able to handle even the smallest challenge and you overcome so many things. Take things as they come. You can do anything and have already proved that. If you wanted, you could get an assistant to help you with some of the things that you may need help with as you grow up.
Sending you, Ana, lots of love from Sydney, Australia. You are so wise and so loved that you will figure out everything. God bless you and your family💜❤️🩷
Thank you for sharing with all of us. You will succeed with each challenge that comes along your journey. ANA, I am so impressed with your progress and determination. ❤❤❤
Good to know about the commercials because I am one to skip as soon as possible. Ana I truly enjoy watching you grow and see how you manage to manipulate things in order to use them.
Ana your doing good looking at your notes..as you grow up things will come easy for you because your very smart on making things work that's best for you..❤❤
omg I just love this girl ! she is so smart & will navigate her future just fine. We all have to live life one day @ a time. And all your wisdom & experiences gets you through sweetheart ❤️
Ana, at 8 years old you are very smart already thinking of the many things you will need to learn or the things you will need help with. You are so mature for your age. Dating, Dad is probably thinking, “Oh no, not until you are 25!😂😂😂). I love you sweet girl.❤️
Sweet girl, you must go to college as smart as you are! You can change the world by being a chemist, doctor, etc. You can invent new equipment/devices to help people with your disability! Love your positive attitude and knowing you can be anything you want!! You go girl!
Hi Guys! 'Love the video! Ana is spot on with her plans! I want to throw in a suggestion regarding toileting. There are bidet seats that operate with a remote. If Ana had one, she would not need help in the bathroom!
Ana Very thought out understanding of your challenges… are there any Tasks you feel you can start now to achieve your adult life lessons. Say for instance dressing and hair? Learning lessons a little bit at a time so not to be overwhelmed with becoming adult????
Has this young lady ever had her IQ evaluated!!!!???? She speaks more intelligently than most of the adults I know!!! Ana is absolutely remarkable in EVERY WAY!!! Kodos to Ana and her wonderful parents!
Great video, Ana! It’s a bit early, but have any of you thought about what services she’ll need as an adult? Like a PCA, job coaching, different kinds of therapy, etc. I’m not physically disabled, but I’m autistic and currently trying to figure out what adult services I need.
