ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
I'm a 38 year old KZbinr from the UK. I've got a cracking beard and I'm currently going through the autism diagnosis process. I started this channel back in 2017 and by the time I left my full-time job as a Computer Science teacher in July of that year, 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 and always at home when the kids get home from school (all our kids!) and Anna has been able to return to university. This channel is the story of my ongoing journey! Previously known as lollujo Vlogs and The Chapman Family.

This comment is just for Anna, from mom to mom I know how hard this is we have replaced xboxes, tv, and tablets so many times and its so frustrating. I often feel like its my fault when my son breaks things. I hope you know you are an awesome mom and I respect the heck out of ya for how you handle trying behaviors. I hope things get better and looking forward to catching you on stream at some point!

My friend has a son that dose this an now she is not replacing things he breaks .to teach him you can’t get another one just because you threw a fit an smash yiur tv iPad he has autism to he gets new things later on

[@margaretspence109]

I can understand why Anna is so grumpy and fed up its totally understandable and a valid response. Id be exactly the same. I think you have a point Kevin. The internet not working properly made Andy think it was the tv that was broken because when he smashed the others a new 1 arrived and the problem was fixed so it seemed like the tv was the problem to him. I really hope you all have a better rest of the week.

[@Hikariett]

This is not meant in a bad manner: I have experience in dealing with Autism [I have an autistic brother] I would recommend making Andy wait longer than a month for new TV, [maybe 2 or 3] Clearly Andy is very clever and has "logically" figured out that you will both "give in" as you said he doesnt "rely" on the Tv anymore so for your own sanity I would advise not replacing it so quickly. again this is meant in the nicest possible way, im not trying to be nasty, Im trying to make a suggestion

[@WhiteLiteBarbie]

You guys got this. Anna you’re so strong. Amazing woman. I’ve been a behavioral therapist working with autistic kids. I understand to some degree.

[@Jobby1872]

Staying calm in this situation is so hard I think Anna being grumpy is absolutely fine 😂

[@rockaholic192]

Totally learnt behaviour. He’s a smart cookie and like you said worked out that he can get a new telly by breaking it. Good on you not letting him have a new telly straight away! This should get rid of the learnt behaviour. You guys are doing amazing

[@twilliamspro]

I agree with you Kev don't replace the TV. Certainly feels like learned behaviour that a smashed telly = New One

[@michaelwebster6219]

That is spot on he has got that in his head

[@michaelwebster6219]

Also about a TV cabarnet make 1 it isnt that hard also 800 is not much if it's going to work you cant really say it wont work when u dont know. Make a frame out of MDF to sit the TV in and the thick plastic perspex over it you can do that for 100 or so but make it so u know he wont break it

[@charlottevicarage1331]

Honestly, well done to you for not giving in this time and NOT replacing the TV as that would be rewarding him, plus, as you mentioned, before, you are not made of money. My mother would have done the same to me, as well as ground me for at least 3 months and make me pay off the damage. I think from a young age, I was taught that this wasn't acceptable (which may or may not have contributed to me overly apologizing for accidently breaking stuff and then offering to replace it.). I would also like to congratulate you in admitting that it was yours and Anna's fault for giving in to him in the first place every time he did it and that circumstances meant he was effectively babysat by technology which is possibly why he is like he is now. Not a lot of parents in the situation can admit that. I do 100% agree (and this goes to Anna especially) that it is high time to get strict now. I personally think Andy needs other non-tech based outlets, like maybe gardening, or something related to building or making things, as ideas. I myself walk my dog, draw, paint, felt, do some gardening, walk around town, plan day trips, etc. Another idea I thought, would be to not only teach him that smashing up stuff isn't acceptable, (which I am glad you're getting on top of now), but I would also maybe use Disneyland as an incentive, or at least the finances of it. So, every time he smashes up a TV, maybe remind him that it costs a lot of money, and that with every smashed TV, is less money for Disneyland. It sounds harsh, I understand, but it's an idea that I think you could try. Which ever you decide, the end line is you CANNOT allow him to do this. People tend to forget that autistic people and kids CAN be manipulative as well, and it is VERY important to get this nipped in the bud ASAP and get on top of it, (this is especially towards Anna) before they do this to more people because one day, they might do this to a person, who won't take that kind of thing and metaphorically, give him a black eye. Even worse, could get arrested.

[@jamiepepper88]

I'm glad you kept the raw footage in of you 2 bickering, it shows real people, real emotions and the strain it can put on you dealing with these situations. You can see from Anna she feels broken or deflated. Huge praise to you both

[@jazoumiddel]

I couldn’t imagine how difficult it would be to manage Andy’s behavior and not get frustrated. But you’ll manage, as you always do in the end! Stay positive 🤘🏻

I love you, Anna! You’re such a strong woman! You’ve been handed a tough situation, but you’ve handled it marvelously! Yes, Anna has every right to be grumpy. I get it, too. She’s taken the responsibility for Andy’s actions, mom guilt, frustration and feeling helpless. It’s hard to be a mum, especially to a special atypical child.

[@Gazzland]

When you get a new TV, you should insure it with Domestic and General. They will replace or fix any TV. My son does this. They have replaced it every time.

[@jlc973]

Great idea in theory but an insurer would whack up the premiums and try to wiggle out of costly replacements if it became a regular occurrence. They're a business after all and can't act as a charity/community group.

I completely understand Anna’s reaction, its such a frustrating situation and you are handing it the best you can. Ill have a look around on the internet to see if i can find something else cheaper than that site I suggested. And all ask around some colleges to see if they know anything too. Also, I agree. Annas tee shirt is pretty cool.

I personally think you and Anna deal with situations better than anyone I know. There’s being grumpy and then there is just finding things difficult and upsetting and for sure you both are the latter.

Tough cabinets, are brilliant. I worked for the NAS and a new company with autism and both use these. I might be worth getting in touch with the NAS as sometimes they sell them or donated once they are no longer used. You could also possibly make one yourselves with the perspex and strong wood and then possibly on the wall, as they are so expensive. Hope you guys are ok and hope as a family you get to enjoy the rest of your staycation:)

I worked in a group home one time to where we had an autistic resident that LOVED TV's. The company bought a cabinet for the new TV. It was anchored to the wall while sitting on the floor. I think the company paid about 1200.00 for it, but it definitely solved the problem of the TV fund draining so fast. I would definitely look into getting one for Andy. The TV stand needs to be as close to the wall though so that it can be secured.
