elevaTOURS Autism Outreach: Daniel's Roanoke Elevator Adventure!

(9-20-2014) Daniel is an amazing young man from Raleigh NC. Him and his wonderful family came to visit me sept 2014 and I had a total blast with him! Enjoy as he sees the cute little bike, Roanoke's elevators, and of course the elevaTOURS museum of awesomeness!! Yeah I love elevators but spending time with people like Daniel is far more enjoyable than just riding an elevator. The whole purpose of this youtube account is to reach out to people like Daniel.

You are hands down one of the most supportive elevator enthusiasts I have EVER come across! Thank you for supporting Autism, it means a lot to people like me. (I have Aspergers syndrome)

[@tiaj3007]

You put that aptly than me. Yes thanks again for making me see the light, instead of getting frustrated; I will become an enthusiast

[@terryandrews1043]

My 13 y.o. autistic son has been watching you for years. I attribute his fascination of elevators and hotels to your fun videos. Thanks for providing him with decent and family-friendly entertainment.

[@DieselDucy]

This made my day. Thank you so much.

[@Elevatorboy886]

Im 16.

[@tiaj3007]

I love that Daddy is very patient, my son Daniel (7), found this video, he is fixated on elevators and automatic doors. Once we come across any; our activity for the day is finished and very difficult for him to transit or move on to other things. I literally avoid places with elevators and automated doors (which literally leaves us with no where to go) how can I teach him to enjoy for a moment and then move on? Suggestions welcome, because I want to explore places with him, but it just never ends. Good job to Daniel and Dad, you all are very positive and enjoying the journey. I have learnt something.. , I will try and find not so crowded places in London 😂 .......blessings

[@bluejaysfan5763]

Why are people thumps downing this video? He's cute and AWSOME and this is an AWSOME video

[@dakotaschmidt6308]

I know why, It's because if you go to 17:53 in the video! You'll see that Andrew was teaching Daniel about what elevator phones are for! But in my opinion, He was looking at that phone like Alex Stack (Gluse) does it!

[@jonathancreveling5658]

Boy, he is soooo polite and courteous, and always rides safely! That's how I am!

It's great to see you and Daniel having so much fun, I know it meant so much to him and he'll probably cherish this for life.

[@DieselDucy]

This is why I do what I do :) Yeah I like elevators but I LOVE reaching out to these young ones that look up to me.

[@Chillius]

***** This may sound stupid but I am eleven and I really am interested in Elevators. Just scared of them. (I have aspergers)

[@DieselDucy]

***** that is not stupid. it is AWESOME :)

[@Chillius]

I also got my interest in elevators after actually getting stuck in one, I researched loads about how they work, Cables, Hydraulic Pumps, :)

Your very good at looking after kids with autism ,! His reaction when he saw you at the beginning was priceless and brought a smile to me! He's happy! Which is good! I saw him stinking like crazy . Which is good As stimming can also be self soothing to prevent a meltdown! You did Lots of praise! Which is very important for kids with autism! At least he was very happy and happy stimming! I'm also on the autism spectrum! And I work unpaid with kids with autism and other disabilities and abilities in the UK where I live. I've been a follower of your channel since the pre thumbs up days! And you used to rate a vid out of 5 stars! Gosh I miss them days!

[@brianroussey7329]

ducy you're the man bro. It takes a good dude to do something like this

[@jkelliher_24]

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I am truely touched by how much you do for your fans and those with Autism. Great video. Thank you for your kindness!

[@ScottySullivanYT]

Your videos are always heartwarming Andrew. :)

[@TrainsOfSander]

Awesome video. I have also Asperger's. I like a lot of things. Main interest is street lighting (I have another KZbin account for that) and further all kinds of public transport but also elevators and escalators can have my interests. What I like of people with autism that they have often a special kind of interest in things where others paid less attention to. For most people is an elevator an elevator, a train just a train and a streetlight just a streetlight but people with autism notice often al those differences in a subject.

[@calvindejong4566]

I got OCD, ADD, and asperger's. I like macs, Windows XP, elevators, train crossings, and more.

[@sterlingordes3228]

I also have Aspergers and I am interested in fire alarms, elevators, electronics, mechanics, and I am also a furry! (Plz don't hate me. Besides, I hate fetish and yiff anyways. And plus I mostly just like the artistic and social parts of it)

[@kansasthunderman1]

***** I hope he doesn't get "Down Routed' and warehoused in some mental hospital. Many children diagnosed (more like misdiagnosed) with Autism or Aspergers are actually quite intelligent and they can live a productive life if given the opportunity.
