On today's autism family vlog: Andy came home from school asking for food he's never asked for before - so of course, we took him out to get it, and then took him to his favourite church as a reward. But then things got even stranger, when he asked for two more brand new foods, and we come up with an idea for tomorrow...

ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
Hi, I'm Kevin Chapman, a full-time KZbinr, author, podcaster, speaker and occasional teacher from Peterborough, UK. As part of my daily vlog I release new videos every day at 5pm UK time with topics including life as an autism family, conventions and geek culture, technology, education and tutorials and entrepreneurship.
When I left my full-time as a Computer Science teacher in July 2017, my partner, Anna, was trapped in our house by our son Andy, who is autistic and had refused to go to school for 18 months. Our daughters Lucy and Amy and our dog Dave hardly saw me because I was always working to try and solve all our problems! Today I'm a full-time content creator who's always at home when my kids get home from school (all our kids!) and Anna has been able to return to university. This channel is the story of my family's ongoing journey as family vloggers! Previously known as lollujo Vlogs.

[@sarahhaverson176]

Just Wow! I never thought watching someone eat a fish finger would make me clap my hands, I was so pleased for you.

[@ashh1377]

I love how during your conundrum about how to reach the bins at 2:20 there’s a pile of step ladders in the background 😂

[@skyblues8785]

the way he has developed over the years is mad like going to school, eating and his behaviour

[@elaaxax]

Do you mean in a good way or a bad way

[@JoeGab-en8fh]

llama squad it seems to be in a good way

[@tayloryikes8067]

Disgrace not saying Oh yeah yeah

[@ohkla14]

I cried a little! So proud of you parents for not giving up! HE DID IT THAT'S AMAZING!!!!!!

[@josephtimothy4630]

Pro trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@x0katiexo00]

@@josephtimothy4630 don’t comment this on a nice wholesome video

[@pompeyftwpup5506]

I’ve been watching you channel for about 1 year and I feel like I know Andys personality and it is amazing to see him tying new foods What a difference a year makes !

[@jodistewart4452]

I like how Anna is sitting and scratching Andy’s head it is so sweet to see

[@draxgames66]

I'm proud of Andy for trying the new food, keep it up Andy!

[@pitbike125-9]

Such amazing parenting from both of you. Andy is ever so lucky to have you both! & well done Andy! You did so great and I can’t wait to see you grow big and strong! 🥛❤️

[@LeonaEvans18]

just catching up on the vlogs after being on holiday and I am so happy for you guys ! Working as a support worker for adults with additional needs, I know how massive this break through is for you all. I have followed you guys from the start and I am quite emotional watching this! can't wait to see what else Andy tries

[@mallorymullenix5917]

I worked at a day hab with autistic individuals and other types of of disabilities, and you truly celebrate the little things! I was in tears because I remember feeling that way with my “babies”. Keep up the fantastic work guys!

[@SUSIEPIP]

Wow this made me really emotional. I remember how excited you guys were when he touched a beefburger and took it out the bun for the first time. Well Done Andy, You have done so well and will be reaching those bells in no time!

[@Charlie-de7xu]

These past few days have been amazing and almost unbelievable. So proud of Andy for trying new food and Kev and Anna for not giving up

[@Emily-lx3ix]

3:04 all the old people stared 😂

[@Bloodygeek1]

Amazing!!! I nearly cried Andy is doing so amazing

[@matthew230502]

So proud of Andy and how far he has come in the 3 months I have been watching I found myself grinning so much when he was eating these new foods

[@pennylane5355]

2:16 there are step ladders on the far left to get the bins

[@JessF42]

Did anyone else notice the step ladder right next to the minion thing they couldn't reach? Lol😜 you can see it from 2:15 - 2:20

[@Dan.Gonzo.Gosling]

So proud of you Andy, gave me a huge smile knowing you really have gave it a go, well done matey.

[@toddcooper4550]

It's great to see Andy trying food that is out of his comfort zone. You guys are amazing!!!!

[@soflash8598]

honestly getting to see this progress every day is such an inspiring thing, thanks kev

[@samurai2k455]

It must be frustrating to see Andy go to eat it then spit it out. But so proud of him in the end

[@jaimereynolds258]

I won't even try 1 new food in a day. Good job, Andy!!

[@charlotteh71]

Omg I’m so proud of Andy and of you all. He’s coming on leaps and bounds.

[@jennifermurdock945]

Yes! This was major! I had a silly big grin this whole video. Andy eating the beef off the burger was such a huge accomplishment and then he added fish fingers! The boy has hit another milestone. I hope this little trend sticks around. But for now, I’m so happy that Andy tried and he succeeded in eating protein. I hope he enjoyed it! Yay Andy! Yay Mummy and Daddy!

[@arronrees9599]

Andy is doing so well this week with food! He is making me so happy

[@taylorxrobertson4650]

so wholesome omg

[@broganlees3917]

WOW!! That's amazing one week he totally despises meat and the next he's willing to try anything to get the bells just shows how much he has improved !

[@beckysloan1377]

Andy! That’s fantastic!!!!! I don’t consider this pushing. You were both encouraging in a very positive way.

[@beckysloan1377]

Burger AND fish fingers?! That’s crazy.

[@beckysloan1377]

Burger AND fish fingers?! That’s crazy.

[@oliviaelliott1333]

Super proud of him! Well done Andy, he’s made so so much progress.

[@gwilymp4065]

Have you tried feeding Andy any other protein sources? For example beans nuts or seeds. (Also well done Andy on trying the new foods)

[@shaniaturnbull2186]

You deserve 100k sub's for your excellent vids Andy makes my day better

[@carolpauls3645]

Way to go Andy!! He is growing leaps and bound

[@daimianadrien2643]

Wow :^o Thats so much progress! I was really surprized, I dont even know Andy irl and I'm so proud of him. I know how hard it is to try new foods.

[@madtingz2288]

Anna loves him so much 🥲 so precious

[@emilyg8449]

WELL DONE ANDY I know how hard it is trying new food

[@nataliewade1374]

OMG so proud of Andy for eating the fish gingers and the burger and love when he shouts yeahhhh at the end of the vlog xx

[@Aviationrail]

Andy has made alot of progress and I'm really impressed with him.

[@stephroseblade4336]

Kev, I know you kept questioning yourself, whether it was morally right and I think progress, is what you’re aiming for and progress is what you’re getting. I understand you don’t want to cheat Andy, but as you say and you do so in front of Andy; hopefully he will start to understand that growth takes time and you’re not lying to him. Sometimes as parents, when the goal is so significant as eating to thrive, it doesn’t matter how you get there. The excitement he sees in you and Anna, are definitely driving him to try and you’re being honest with him; so I say well done. Dead proud of Andy 👍🏼

[@carrielynch177]

Well done Andy!! God bless him. He’s done so good. I hope some day it just gets easier for him and he actually enjoys the taste. Good job buddy!!!

[@billiexoxo9877]

Omg Andy well done were all so proud

[@sarahsrandomvideos6965]

That's awesome Andy. Well done 🎉🙌

[@missdark123]

Well done Andy!! I am now however going to have to venture into the bottom of the freeze to find some fish fingers for my tea!

[@clairelaneynorth89]

I’m so happy for you keep it up Andy you have come such a long way

[@rmjames83]

I feel so sorry for you guys, I think you deserve, and need more help with Andy-don’t get me wrong, ur AWESOME and SUPERHEROES-but I think u need and deserve more professional guidance and help with Andy. Hang in there and keep trying-and keep on pushing his boundaries little by little!

[@pgl_sscorpio4484]

Kev you know how Andy doesn’t like eyes, does he mind the photos on the walls?

[@honeybabe1651]

Way to go Andy keep try new foods I’m so proud of you Andy keep try new foods for me

[@danielle3304]

Andy is doing so well with the food lately good job mate!

[@lollytee6336]

My son is the same with food he eats meat but trying to get him to eat fish fingers he gags he was diagnosed in March very proud of Andy for trying xxx

[@lollytee6336]

Well I say meat he only eats chicken nuggets and hotdogs and sometimes sausages when he feels like it

[@ravenforlano6131]

I'm so proud of him thats better than nothing

[@lindsaycook1570]

I am so proud of you Andy for trying new foods keep up the good work and you will soon be tall enough to reach the ropes 💕

[@jamieesgate3430]

[@Ryujenini]

[@symatara1516]

Omg Anna is so good with Andy like I wouldn’t be able to do that with my dog

[@Luna-yj6zh]

Love Andy's playlist.

[@sianduggins3951]

Well done Andy you are doing so well keep it up buddy go Andy Andy your a star x

[@FarazKhan55000]

I think it is good for you guys to not move out it might take a really long time for Andy to get used to a new house. I know that was really random but ya.

[@EditsUK]

I had the biggest smile on my face watching this!!! Well done andy!! 🎉

[@xdisax]

Well done Andy! Maybe you could try some sort of token system where he can collect tokens by taking bites of new food items and when he has collected enough he can go ring the bells?

[@wolfgang1767]

I’m so happy that he tried new food

[@jenniferhoaglin566]

Great Job on the New Foods! What a Sweetheart! 🤗💙🤗💙🤗

[@thebestwillow]

That was a LOT of exposure to the burger meat in McDonald's, even if Andy didn't swallow much of it, which is fantastic progress! You should all be so proud of him for making so many attempts at it. The fish fingers will have fish oils in them, as well as protein, and that will be really good for his brain.

[@Bemybrowneyedgirl]

He’s making so much progress!

[@boblon9734]

The funny thing is they were standing in front of a collection of stepladders while contemplating how to get down the minion tin 😂

[@MissMentats]

So this was the start of the fish fingers. Amazing!

[@franny2trappy763]

andy is progressing really good and it's mad how much he has changed over the span of a year great vlog as well :)

[@bellaharper-hill]

Andy is. Doing amazingly

[@kayleighjones2181]

Big well done to Andy for trying the burger that’s meat !!!

[@crazycat1166]

Great job Andy and I'm so pleased he will actually get his reward of bell ringing to make him feel he's had a result from trying new food :-)

[@mwalter79]

That was awesome. My son loves cheeseburger, fries and sweet tea. I got him to eat that at all of restaurants. My son still doesn't like soups and casseroles.

[@evevlogs8056]

Very proud he is improving rapidly 👍🏻❤️

[@gracielou3559]

Wow , I’m so proud of him wow

[@Tanesis]

Bearing in mind how often he's almost sick trying new foods Andy did good. Also maybe buy loads of things coated in breadcrumbs

[@benjiejenkins844]

well done andy bet your all proud of him ! xxx

[@levisharman4055]

6:00, Thought dave was about to be sat on 😂😂

[@caraevans2609]

Go Andy, go!! That’s amazing!! Good job!!

[@madmessw127]

Amazing breakthroughs. He's making such amazing progress

[@JoeGab-en8fh]

Great job Andy!

[@tesninewport6042]

Can I just say how fucking amazing it is that Andy is trying new food 😁

[@Leilz_On_Wheelz]

Fish fingers are awesome and well done to Andy

[@shazdanks7554]

Awww well done Andy making fab progress

[@jrh9514]

Congrats Andy!! I hope he enjoys bell ringing tonight if he goes

[@anzrek8951]

I have autism to it is hard to try food but I’m more verbal your kid had a good job with food

[@sliknik4232]

Well done Andy very proud of you

[@wolvezz2k531]

At first i saw this in my recommended thing and i thought I wouldn’t like it but now im subbed

[@janinewinters9709]

Yay Andy well done super proud off you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@yogabirds]

OMG! Does his dietian watch your vlog? I'm cheering him on all the way!!!! From what I understand, he's not hardly eaten anything but pop, crisps, and buns for a year or more. So the fact he is trying new foods is AMAZING! I think the biggest problem now is sensory issues with the foods. You and Anna are doing a fabulous job cheering him on! Just keep doing what your doing with getting the food as soon as you can after he agrees to eat it, cheer him on, and continue to make a big deal about it. Realistically, it may take trying a new food 20+ times for him to actually eat it rather normally. Have Anna keep up like she did at McDonalds. Good job guys!

[@kevinchapmanvlog]

He’s been on that very limited diet for most of his life. It’s amazing seeing him trying new things voluntarily

[@Therealdesolatia]

Andy is knocking it out of the park

[@koorigirl88]

So proud of him

[@OneElusiveRainbow]

Praying he keeps eating

[@esainty666]

When Andy comes home. I had a micro heart attack as you almost flattened Dave

[@Usdi1999]

Manute Bol would have trouble reaching those flipping bells! They're absurdly high

[@callumltfc]

So Proud Of Andy ❤💙❤ Good on him

[@daljitkaur2600]

Bless him

[@rosewalkerpugh3313]

I’m so so so so so proud of Andy💗 xx

[@lillisaunders9925]

Wow I've been watching u guys for 4 years

[@nataliewade1374]

I’m sending a package soon so keep your eyes peeled xxx

[@JereMechaJohnson]

Maybe he'd drink a protein supplement shake? They make all sorts--including vegetarian ones. You could peanut butter in there or fruit or basically dress them up however you like until you find something he likes. Sure you've thought of this already, but just thought I'd suggest anyway. Just watch out for artificial sweeteners.

[@stacebrewer]

he won't drink milk! But with the progress he's making maybe he'll be up to trying anything soon!

[@patriciahowellcassity767]

At his school, they give him protein and vitamins.

[@daguardarenelsilenzio7744]

Stacey Kershaw you can make them with water.

[@abi3485]

hi kev, tomorrow im doing a cooking lesson and we're making blognese but i have a phobia of minced meat so im really nervous xx so proud of andy for trying some new food

[@Archspore.]

Røsèy Msp what a strange phobia lol

[@user-wo4bl7gb6x]

yeah I understand what you mean

[@valhalla4558]

Don’t worry bolognese is lovely!

[@emmag5458]

Good luck. Today I was actually too scared to go to school at all😶

[@princessjessie]

Ask you teacher if u can have some rubber gloves or if u have any at home take them tp school with u when u do food x💕

[@fayewedgy2558]

Well done Andy that's awesome

[@stacebrewer]
