Andy's Big Half Term Day Out in Nottingham | Autism Family Vlog

[@FlappyHandsAndStims]

Could I have Andy on every train I go on please? Then I might not miss my stop or panic about not knowing where I am. Haha 😂

[@leojames2237]

Flappy Hands And Stims! Same and my daily commute on a tram

[@itzmxrkomg]

I missed my stop on my bus yesterday, I wished Andy was there 🤣🤣🤣

[@MattRobson1]

When he said thank you at the beginning!

[@WyattRyeSway]

Matt ......I know. The guy blew the horn for him. He’s polite. Andy is awesome.

[@polly5636]

I just wanted to say I think that it's really great you let Andy do things he finds fun and enjoyable, I think that some parents often do things that are conventionally 'fun' rather than listen to what their children want to do.

[@BenLoughton05]

Love how the train driver honked the horn to say hi to Andy 🖤

[@ethantownsend6609]

Ben Loughton unfortunately that wasn’t for Andy they have to do that at level crossings

[@kevinchapmanvlog]

Fabe's Railway Adventures hi Fabe - just wanted to let you know Andy is a big fan of your level crossing videos!

[@ethantownsend6609]

Fabe's Railway Adventures my bad it the ones near me they do I just assumed it was the ame everywhere in the uk

[@BenLoughton05]

Ethan Townsend oh 😂

[@edenadventures6654]

We live next to a train line and they peep constantly at people waving to them , in the summer it's non stop because everyone's always waving at them

[@sinead8416]

I need an Andy to accompany with me on trains because I m visually impaired so when they don’t call out changes I get in a spot of trouble 😂😂

[@jarodsole2547]

At first I thought Andy was flipping us off in the thumbnail.

[@Fintastically]

Synthetic Raven Same

[@dancollins43]

I thought the same 😂

[@jordangraybill1374]

Same

[@Shayman1011]

Me too

[@wolvesaywe109]

Had to double check also

[@joshuacurtis3860]

I see Andy is growing into another young train spotter/enthusiast like me !!!!

[@ggtravelblogsallover5458]

Hope he had a great day with many things he loves ;)

[@dan5721]

Good manners Andy!! So positive, awesome! Everyone needs a train ride with Andy!

[@TheLambSauce659]

Love how this guy is a train enthusiast as I am autistic and I am a bus enthusiast. You go, my guy, Andy!

[@joannebutler85]

Hiya kev great to see Andy enjoying himself so much another example of what an amazing man and dad you are 😀

[@caskills2195]

Hi kev I live in Nottingham and I love watching yours and Andys videos as they fill me with hope

[@emilyt.2317]

I loved that Andy said thank you after the train whistle. Kevin you're very brave, I wouldn't have gone on that giant wheel for my weight in gold.

[@nocturnal_bun2572]

Have you ever taken Andy ice skating? I work at the ice rink in Nottingham. We have a lot of positive feedback with the children with autism that skate with us. It has had a huge impact on them! We have a special quite session for people with autism on Friday 5-7!

[@trishloiacono8524]

Just love watching you guys out and about Andy is in heaven with his list of things to do!

[@margaretstannard5586]

Lovely day out 👍Andy is a lucky boy to have a dad like you😇He is coming on so well 👍HE IS A STAR 😍

[@mjones963]

Kevin you are an awesome Dad. Such a great day Andy planned for you both.

[@mariaconnolly5103]

Looks like you both had a awesome day!

[@lukecarter1816]

Great vlog guys really enjoyed that one!!

[@danielonn2002]

Andy would be a great conductor! Have you ever thought to contact the Rail Line to see about giving him a day on the rails after the pandemic ends?

[@itzmxrkomg]

11:33 it’s called a platform lift. They only use it because it’s cheap and easy to install

[@Java-D]

What a fun day out! Andy looks so handsome with his new haircut.

[@hannahb4347]

I never watch full videos from any youtuber but I didn’t skip a second on this one. I loved it 💙💙💙

[@suekehr76]

Kevin whether you're his birth father or not, I feel you are! You're an awesome dad. Such love you have for your son!! I have 2 step children and they weren't born with me by birth but they were born in my heart! Just how I feel Andy was born to you!!

[@EthanGirvan]

Love your videos keep it up

[@meganmasters4726]

I think this might just be my favourite vlog of all time! well done Kev!

[@fishtales2597]

My son is autistic he 13 hates lifts, high bridges, escalators which makes it hard when we have to get clothes for him as he really tall now and needs to go to mens department. My son loves trains too and computer games so i can understand how u have to fit your day round him. Glad he has great parents who support him through his difficulties its bloody tough some days and no knows unless you live it.

[@Dan_Pacey]

Glad he got you on the Eye, looked every bit as terrifying as I imagined. I'm new to the channel, coming over from FM, so this was my first Nottingham video, was good to see some landmarks I recognised. Keep up the good work.

[@emmanewton6417]

Love your videos and family so much! Went away for the weekend and am now having a nice little catch up!

[@sandygeasa9995]

Kevin you are such a kind patient loving parent. Your trips with Andy are so special. Parents today have no time for kids and kids spend to much time with electronics. love from Az USA 🌵🦂

[@paggioram]

Shame I missed you yesterday in Nottingham but did make me laugh to see my wife in the background. Showed her so you might have gained a new watcher. Also Kev you are a braver man than me taking on that wheel. I salute you.

[@danielshaw7020]

dont know if you have it but i take stugeron if i go on a trip in a car, and it works and i highly recommend it hope this helps.

[@Ohbeepgcp]

13:21 just to the right of that church, between it and the M&S is a little area that is hidden from the main walkway. I often escape there for ten minutes when I'm in Nottingham and get sensory overload. Weirdly its a place my Mum used to eat her lunch in when she worked in Nottingham in the 70's. I only found out last year she used to escape there too.

[@FeaturesGaming]

I went on the Nottingham eye, the views you get are awesome!! I filmed my whole experience too!

[@willywonka7599]

Where in Nottingham is the eye

[@FeaturesGaming]

It’s no longer there anymore but it was in the old town square I believe! Near the theatre royal!

[@KoleDeFazioMusic]

Andy is awesome

[@splash1050]

Oh Nottingham is full fun ooh Nottingham is fun

[@itzmxrkomg]

Some trains still have the manual announcements on EMT. the only reason they have it automatic as it’s easier to hear if the disabled and they have to be DDA compliment

[@SKCGLEN]

I’m a Peterborough local, so weird seeing it in the vlogs!

[@EllieFish1]

Awww this was lovely to watch :)

[@BiohChemicalz]

14:46 me and my girlfriend saw you and she span around to look at you 😂😂 i have a blue and orange adidas bag on 😂❤️

[@buzzgaminghq2221]

Great vlog glad andy loved the day out

[@theirishkid4412]

Hi kev just wondering do u have any way of knowing whats a male or female train sorry just curious

[@kevinchapmanvlog]

No idea!

[@lmichellebrady]

I was just about to ask the same question.

[@oliviaelliott1333]

Looked like a good Andy inspired day out!

[@georgeg1203]

Great vid key and it is nice to see just you and Andy on your self ❤️

[@brionyburchell8354]

It is definitely half term in Notts. But everyone must have decided to go on Wednesday when I went instead. It was very busy and my bus was full! Should have gone Thursday instead obviously 😂😂

[@fionascheibel977]

Andy did do well on such a long day. I find I only have a really short time between getting physically and mentally tired and the resulting being emotional overwelmed and I become angry and frustrated and irritable and I basically can't cope. I want all people and auditory and visual stimulation to instantly go away. I want to teleport to my quiet safe bedroom to get myself calm and settled.

[@itzmxrkomg]

You should go to Bulwell Level Crossing, right next to Bulwell Forest, it has trains & trams, and you can see Buses go past

[@annabrickstock]

Awesome video!

[@traceyabbott6184]

hi have u ever been to holme level crossing, I live opposite the east coast mainline, we love standing at end of garden watching the trains n level crossing ,

[@siddkumar8032]

That lift in Nottingham is the most painful thing. I usually travel back home every 2/3 months and need to take the train to London to catch a flight. With the lifts not working I have to carry 20/30 kilos of luggage up and down the stairs... been an issue for almost a year now but apparently it will be fixed this April

[@josephjacklin7861]

Another good video kev! Glad to see Andy's enjoying my city's somewhat undervalued (I say undervalued because I doubt theres anyone in Nottingham who loves the trams as much as he does😂did the train honk Andy or was that a normal thing? Cheers again

[@daniellefko709]

A train ride and Andy loves trains

[@liamgordonvlogs6033]

Love the vids keep it up you are a great parent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrChriszz160]

Love your vids Chapman fam! Please come to Liverpool in the future 😀 Birkenhead tramway and transport museum outside of L'pool in the Wirral I couldn't recommend enough, Andy would love it!!!

[@patrickrobb7135]

I live in Nottingham!!!

[@kaiwoolnough8550]

Andy should have a train set. Hornby sets are amazing. If not Hornby, LEGO train set would be the next best option. (Also, LEGO doesn't breack as easy and you can just put it back together)

[@McLennanGregor]

I love watching your videos and I have done this but from hucknall because it's the closest to my nans who I stay with time to time

[@cianomalley7049]

@kevinchapmanvlog if Andy still likes trams, he should come to Dublin, they have a tram system, loads of buses, a train called the dart etc.

[@justjodie2115]

R u kidding I’m only just watching this video and I’ve been to that train station and I live arnound/near Nottingham 😂

[@levisharman4055]

This is brilliant 🤘

[@Pokemonjayy]

Another great video as always, hey Kev how close is Andy to get his KZbin channel having adverts? I have been watching to help with the watch time x

[@callumoshea4731]

I love your vlogs ❤️❤️

[@prbgamer1942]

I live in Grantham,hopefully I can see you around if you go again

[@josephnealeUKscratchcards]

Awesome video as always

[@ABomb_Plays]

I can't be the only one who thought Andy was flipping the bird in the thumbnail 😂

[@pearlito8600]

Good day...I'm exhausted ! Let's do it again.....

[@hasnainmahmood1776]

this vlog was so cool

[@jaimereynolds258]

It took me a second to see that he wasn't flipping the middle finger in the thumbnail LOL

[@grooveshop542]

I live in Liverpool wish I could of met you guys but good vlog guys Wish you would come

[@rachelvivian6019]

Do you think Andy would like working on trains when he's older? He could announce the stops, or check tickets

[@BMarie774]

So I've got a bit of a question. With Andy's current diet of crisps, toast, etc, how do you guys go about handling the long plane ride? I know you can buy crisps after getting through security (if it's like the states), but will they let you bring Andy's favorite kind with you? I got to thinking about that and wondered how you'd two go about that.

[@kevinchapmanvlog]

We’re driving, so it’ll all be in the car with us

[@JackSmith-qs4fv]

Ayyyy Nottingham

[@shazdanks7554]

The Nottingham wheel was pay back for Anna' on the one in Bkackpool

Loved the Vlog I have a fear of Ferris wheels to I would be curled in ball in the floor But I can ride roller coasters

[@callumfletcher2684]

I know this may sound stupid so I apologise but what are the main traits of someone with autism. Obviously I can tell Andy is a very special boy, but i love being educated. Thanks guys!

[@coffeehead1842]

Kev do you know how Andy determines the train being male and female? I love hearing him say “it’s a female train” such a kind soul!

[@rhysmorgan9580]

Maybe you wouldn’t feel sick if you faced direction of travel

[@aprilhill6873]

Good video

[@lerato1894]

EVERY TIME I look at this thumbnail it looks like Andy is flipping someone off lol

[@thebestwillow]

Has Andy ever been on a paternoster lift? I'm curious about how he would react to that.

[@CX53Y]

How fars this bus stop

[@NedsTrains]

Nice video Andy is just like me a person who likes trains and trams! I would love to meet him and go for a train ride with him it would be fun. He is very knowledgeable and I think he would make a good volunteer at a railway when he is older! I think he would also love a train set as he can play with trains all day long. The train you got to Nottingham goes through my home town of Warrington! Andy would also make a good guard on a train as he could tell people where to get off and all of that. Andy should check out my channel as I have a whole video on the Nottingham trams! I love Highbury vale it’s good for tram spotting. 👍😀

[@lucythompson7431]

Who watches oli white because I was watching one of his vids and it said the "Chapman family viewers watch this"

[@demxnlxrd9489]

Hi kev just wondering if andy has anything wrong with his legs or anything due to the way he walks (i dont mean to be rude or anything)

When are you coming to Newcastle?

[@GrannyGooseOnYouTube]

Andy WILL someday announce the trains! I declare it to be so! Besides, it would surely be helpful to visually impaired folks!

Can’t Anna walk to\back from uni or get the bus?

Hi Kevin how often do you go on a train

[@AmandaLifts]

I'm glad you and Andy were able to go out and about and enjoy yourselves! I love watching your exploration videos! I get so many good ideas of where to visit while I'm in England! I'm really looking forward to going on the London Eye! And cannot wait to visit Nottingham! So many shops with food and sweets I want to try :)
