This one has come completely out of the blue - after taking his Nintendo 2DS, or an equivalent device, on the school bus with him every day for the last 6 years, we've been told Andy is no longer allowed to take it with him, effective immediately, and that he won't be allowed on the bus if he insists on having it with him. For those who've been following for a while and know how much Andy relies on his 2DS to manage his anxiety and process the world around him, you can understand why this is such a big deal! To be given no notice and have no opportunity to prepare him for it is even worse...

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.

[@malikaibass2609]

I bet plenty of other children have their phones on public school transport and none of them get told off. Andy's 2DS is not really different at all.

[@oliviaelliott1333]

Malikai Bass i agree!

[@fullsizedwarf]

This is a brilliant point. Kev say this

[@damianhills1533]

you only have to sit on a school/public bus like I do every day on my way home from work to see kids using mobile phones. Completely agree with your point

[@antidote9904]

This is sooo true

[@alexburt20]

Malikai Bass these people, who I know, post this. Shows how trivial this really is

[@anthonyburgess9921]

Kev, I’ve been listening to you for three four years now but have only recently found this vlog/learned about Andy. It’s astonishing how much difficulty you have been through with Andy with other professionals. If you ever need legal help, feel free to message me as a senior manager at one of the largest legal firms in the county. I have a sister who is a SEN senior in a council. Please ask me for help, they are discriminating against your family.

[@Mscak10]

my first thought was... what is happening on the bus that they are afraid others will see

[@brucehargreaves7724]

12:10 so he’s not even your biological son and you still take care of him and treat him as family now that is a perfect exzample of an amazing man

[@PaigeRobins-ky4qc]

Most definitely family is not by blood but by love.🌈🏳️‍🌈🫂💕💙💚💛💜🖤🧡❤️‍🔥🫶🩷💗💞

[@justarainyday739]

'Dave effectively told us he is not allowed on the bus tomorrow' I thought you meant Dave the dog... haha it took a while to clock that. Well, that is not very good... just when we thought progress would be permanent (ish). Oh dear, odd that the new bus PA fed it to the council, not you guys or the school.

[@charleelakebean]

He said they've not dave

[@charleelakebean]

But i also at first thought he said dave the dog

[@Charliewright-hi3pf]

😂😂😂😂

[@katiem2218]

Oh Yh I see what u mean

[@camranfoster7415]

I’ve got autism and really isn’t easy for someone like me to adapt to something that we’ve done for a long time. The littlest change makes me go off on one. I really wish people would just stop being petty about little thing like that. Autism and mental health isn’t going away just because people think it’s not real thing. Well they are wrong it’s real for those who have it and the people who care for them. Love that you are trying to get awareness out there. Thank you so much. 🙂🙏🏻

[@kayley2198]

I study health and social care at college and we have learnt about autism and I have to say Andy is a remarkable young man.

[@paulwinfield658]

Speechless. I hope it all gets resolved quickly for Andy and yourselves.

[@twilliamspro]

How can a disability specialist school be so freaking clueless about autistic children ? It'd be like a baker not knowing how to make bread

[@adamsphotography3499]

So true!

[@peakz70]

Good point

[@PaigeRobins-ky4qc]

My thoughts exactly as well.🌈🏳️‍🌈🍞🥖🥪🥙👨‍🍳👩‍🍳🧑‍🍳

[@simondunn3882]

Read the description... already annoyed He needs that ds it’s like his comfort when going to school Kicked out of church the favourite thing he loves I think this is the reason that he struggle with home school communication problems

[@snowy.ethereal]

My mum had so much trouble with transport for my brother a few years ago, basically the council wouldn't give him transport to his special needs school, which is only 5.1 miles away, because apparently the one that was 4.1 miles away was the most suitable for him (it wasnt, he was non-verbal at the time and the closer school only take kids who can communicate), she took it to the local papers and radio, and fought so hard for so long and finally got it. Taking him 5 miles everyday really put stress on everyone because me and my other brother sometimes needed taking to our high school, which couldnt happen when she had to take the youngest to his special needs school. Now everything is a lot happier and stress free and he goes on his bus happily every morning. But keep fighting Kev, you can do this.

[@jackson9065]

Awww I found it so funny when I can hear Andy eating something on minecraft in the background and saying “yum yum yum” 5:20

[@TheBillABCTV]

Kevin Chapman I totally agree with you. It is a silly rule. Either they allow Andy to film as normal or he gets the individual transport to school and back home, like he did last year.

[@Oses14]

That is so dumb. If it is a specialist school and transport they should allow it. I do see why it is against law or safeguarding

[@nicolek3486]

My school put up a fuss when they told me they were practicing stim suppression, e.g. making our autistic son stop flapping his arms or tapping his head when he gets flustered. They said that it was a standard ABA therapy practice, to which I responded "well, maybe ABA is the problem." It's been an ongoing thing. I am not sure we will keep him in this school next year.

[@malikaibass2609]

As an autistic person, i highly support your choice getting your son out of there. ABA is almost always abusive and plenty of autistic adults have written and shared about the long term harm it caused them but all aba therapists care about is trying to make us not autistic through brainwashing and torture.

[@awesomeamy6722]

I have autism and they can't just stop him from doing stims it's something he does When I stim it makes me happyier

[@arkyy_yt]

A kid from my school gets on my bus and plays on his nintendo switch and he doesnt get told off?! I dont understand why people would not allow Andy to play or film on his 2DS?

[@fionascheibel977]

I wish i had someone like you Kev, in my corner fighting for me as i grew up and even now with me being an adult who struggles with difficulties mostly on my own. And so i have limited safe time in public and just stay home instead.

[@JBUSPOV]

I am a bus enthusiast and it helps me keep occupied and relaxed with ADHD (I know it's not the same) but I film the buses and also get pictures and upload them onto sites like Flickr. I have only ever had one issue with a police officer asking if I'm filming them and I simply shew him the footage and he got on with his day, it's ridiculous how they can't let Andy keep himself relaxed and keep his DS as a safety bubble

[@nicolek3486]

I hope the social worker and/or the school can pull through for you and Andy!

[@TheGamingHarryTGH]

I'm from North London, I now live in Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. I have to say that learning support and support in Lincolnshire is shocking. I was diagnosed with autism two years ago in Lincoln. I didn't get any help from education or anyone, I simply disappeared from the system.

[@patriciavelasquez5566]

I hope things work out for Andy and you all. Wishing the communication in this situation was more frequent and transparent.

[@nottellingyoumyname6362]

Hello Everyone ( Have a Good Day )

[@Fragmentofbone]

You too 🙂

[@f1_fansenna93]

That happened to my brother He has autism and he also processes the day through a camera We got an email from his PA and told us it was illegal for him to take it on the minibus We got it sorted though He was allowed to go back to single transport and was also allowed to take his camera with him I hope that Andy gets through it and is allowed to go back to single transport Abi

[@rlchill]

I'm a school worker in the US, primarily in the SpEd department. At first I was thinking why isn't this in his IEP (Individualized Education Program for the States). I was relieved to hear that it is in his plan, because they can get in BIG trouble if they don't follow through with that. In my school, the bus driver or whoever made that decision, would not be able to make that call. To make any sort of changes to his IEP, they would have to have a meeting involving his teachers, any specialists that work with him, and you guys. This school needs to be very careful!

[@sambee8982]

Uggggh! Why is that people are so fussy about cameras these days and not understand that some people are autistic and record things to ease their anxiety? Did Andy burst into tears not understanding this?

[@arkyy_yt]

I agree

[@charlottevicarage1331]

Because, unfortunately, there are SOME people who film others without their consent and just are total creepers about it.

[@sw8762]

You dont need consent. Unless they are under 18

[@serenast.germain3469]

They are worried about him filming the kids on his bus and kids on the other buses they are under 18 years old but for Andy to have to go through this is not fair because he needs that device to cope I use my phone to cope with the world around me I don't have autism but i have anxiety and other stuff and fedal alcohol spectrum disorder so I understand what Andy needs

[@andrews0208]

serena St. Germain but you don’t have to get any permission in public

[@ashleyrodea7893]

Sad to hear about this ): i hope Andy has a good day tomorrow! ❤️❤️

[@ashleyrodea7893]

luke Neylon ugh i know so aggravating ): i hope his anxiety isnt too bad without his ds

[@mariaconnolly5103]

I hope everything gets worked out. It doesn’t make sense he’s had it with him everyday for 6-7 yrs now they have an issue. I agree with you Kevin about them trying to violate Andy’s rights.

[@EllieFish1]

This is Andy's bit of independents. They cant spoil that. I totally agree with you Kev.

[@jaimereynolds258]

I'm so glad I don't deal with school crap with my son. One of the main reasons I just homeschool. People just don't listen or ever seem to care.....and that is even a special needs transportation. You would think they would be less difficult. People are so ridiculous. I hope this gets delt with and corrected.

[@stephroseblade4336]

The thing that would blow my mind, is that they haven’t even thought to work out either a compromise, or come up with a practical plan such as them being allowed to delete his footage at the end of the school day. This school’s inability to communicate effectively with you, has got to be worrying for you to trust their ability; to provide a good learning environment for Andy.

[@hatzhatz5410]

Grumpy buggers! Hope you got things sorted in the meeting

[@fionascheibel977]

The DS is Andy's diary where he processes the world around him. I write letters to friends when in public to lower my anxiety or i send texts and emails to friends. None of this stuff i do will invade anyones privacy any more than Andy's DS does. It is Andy's way to cope. Why on earth would it be in Andy's best interests to take his DS off him when traveling on the bus has been a step towards him getting to school in a way that doesnt involve the cost of his individual transport.

[@JeannaLevesque]

The more you talk about these people, the more insensitive they seem to be. I wish they’d understand, or at least tolerate. So frustrating!

[@lucybrooks6254]

If I was a pa I would be just be happy that Andy was actually on the bus and happy

[@dan5721]

Remember me Lincolnshire county council IM BACK! Made me laugh so much, the #chapstix are ready for the battle!

[@Kingethan12]

WELCOME TO THE UK ! Alot of pointless policies made by the council XD

[@kathydutcher2232]

Kevin Chapman I totally agree with you because it’s a really silly rule.Could you try calling up the school and talk to them what happened.Could you show the school what Andy films on the bus.Maybe he needs his own transportation like last year.

[@jazzieplayz275]

With my school we are aloud to bring our DS as long as we put it in our bag or in the office

[@klansmanspongebobkktk4492]

Same at mine. I have a 3DS and I use it in the taxi that takes me there

[@mitchelmaxd]

It amazes me that there is no middle ground between kev and the local consil

[@rustyshackleford8296]

Andy's school is in serious need of retraining absolutely ridiculous

[@RussWWFC]

Pretty poor for their lack of understanding, the little chap deserves credit for trying to make his way in the world. Should just turn a blind eye and get on with their job of providing transport.

[@eboniz]

the fact that he was meant to get his own taxi and not a mini bus in the first place is so frustrating. if the school would’ve just gone with the original plan none of this would’ve happened

[@pugwash84]

My son has to take a taxi to school, his statement funds it and a teaching assistant sits with him. He used to take his inotab max into school with him but they wouldn't allow him to have it, it caused so much upset and stress :( he is only recently going back to school without too much fuss.

[@cherryfizzer4076]

Sorry to hear that,, i hope things go better

[@joeed9135]

PA absolute jobsworth

[@Vikkireid16]

At the school i work at, children often have Ipads on the buses and thats never been a problem. How frustrating 🤨

[@Becky6638]

Would it be an option to explain the situation to the parents of the other children, explain that they're not being filmed but are in the vicinity of him filming, and get consent from the parents to allow Andy to film? Having worked with children and done safeguarding training, I was under the impression that it's a safeguarding issue if an adult is filming, ie, you filming Andy getting on the bus with other kids in the background. I work at a kids summer camp and the staff are not allowed to take photos of the kids on our phones, only on the official camp camera, which parents have consented to. However if kids want to take pictures with their friends on their own phones then there's nothing we can do about that, except tell them they're not allowed on social media cause they're under 13 (which they completely ignore anyway but we're supposed to say something if we see). In my opinion, if the parents of the other children on the bus are aware and understand the situation and give consent for Andy to film their children (even if he doesn't actually film them, he still has consent), there shouldn't be an issue.

[@TheToonTrucker]

Becky House technically that would work but the likelihood of the council accepting it is probably rather slim

[@niamhed]

It's so bizarre because you know 100% that the first people to complain and raise issue with Andy having a meltdown would be the bus driver, pa and then the school because it goes further than just on the bus. He doesn't have it on the bus, he doesn't have it in school. It'll affect everything. In my opinion its the whole council money saying malarkey but even i, someone with no political or large-sum budgeting job, knows that if they paid for a couple of people to go through even minimal training then it'd save so many problems and probably a lot of money. It's a knock on affect that will not only go from an issue with him not having the DS on the bus but then his schooling, his home life, potentially even his personal well-being in that he could start rejecting food and medicine. Thats a huge long shot i know but its a possibility and when its purely a DS that he doesn't use to film footage for a public domain, its purely personal use that not even his parents see before its deleted, is just mind blowing and unnecessary. They'd have one hell of a shock if they were in a position where Andy went into meltdown or if they had other autistic children who could potentially be extremely agitated, overwhelmed and/or disruptive. They've been let off massively with how well Andy has soldiered on and should count their lucky stars that the only issue they can scrape from this barrel is a bit of DS footage that is deleted with 8 odd hours. A tiny bit of understanding and perspective would go a hell of a long way and save everyone - including the person that made this decision all of the bother of rectifying it or dealing with the consequences.

[@Jake-pc1fl]

Kevin, I do wish you were my dad. You're amazing. X

[@ozzacassiepophart6349]

Also. I can relate to you. I am blind and autistic myself. I also have the same issue as Andy where I don't do very well on Long bus rides. I actually do a lot better.I had a similar problem but not with the recording device on the bus. It was with free my music on the bus. They wouldn't allow me to do it because I didn't put my stuff.

[@raindropsonroses9091]

I am in the USA. Nearly every student Andy’s age has a cell phone with them at all times, including at school. A cell phone is a recording device. It would be mayhem here to try and enforce this rule!!!

[@tashisgoth6815]

I have autism and I have been discriminated at my school once when we had non uniform day and all the girls in my class (including me) were wearing crop tops and I was told to change into my P.E. shirt whilst the other girls were allowed to keep their shirts on but with their jackets on!!!!

[@astonishingpatch]

That's ridiculous. How dare they do that! (I know it's been 5 years but still)

[@primmguy2504]

Confidentiality causes way more harm than good... For example abusers can move across county boarders to avoid social services because different county's aren't allowed to share information because confidentiality... Hosptials won't tell nursing homes about their own patients... Again same thing. Social care/education is all just about people protecting their backs, service users are rarely considered..... This is just another example of that. It's nothing about people, just companys and the nannny state doing damage control. As long as it looks like people are cared for that's all that matters to the professionals and CQC and the council.

[@antidote9904]

I live in Lincoln and I go to a public school and the bus pa are so strict If you go on your phone you get screamed at

[@michellethorne4678]

I know how hard change is i have autism and i found out yesterday the little volunteer job i do will be stopping next week i am so up set

[@Carolcats4life]

Hope you can get the issue sorted. It’s not fair that they don’t try to understand more that no one sees the footage and it eases his anxiety. It’s not like it’s a new thing he has been doing and with all the issues with even getting him to go to school, you think they can find a way to make it work.

[@hettythehero]

I love Andy's channel!

[@pacemarshall9358]

To play Devil's Advocate, this again feels like a situation that could have and should have been dealt with better through conversation. Rather than the bus driver rudely approaching you, or Andy's PA approaching you before reporting Andy, both of them could have spoken to you first. Even more, the school could have asked to have a sit-down meeting with you and Anna so that you can all come to the table and create a solution that works well for everyone.

[@rmjames83]

I totally agree!!! I too understand that recording devices around other kids is not really legal-but Andy and other kids with Autism/Asperger’s need time to adjust with a change of routine!! I’m not sure how to totally look after both sides of the coin on such short notice-If you had known about it earlier, you could have at least started to plant the idea in Andy’s mind, and started working on the issue. They (council/school/etc.) should be communicating better with you!!! Would a 3-6 monthly meeting (rather than yearly) with his social worker/school/county/council (transport)/others involved in Andy’s care help with giving you guys time to plan change with Andy/make sure his needs are met/everyone on the same page? I’m sure you could request it (like a parent teacher interview)-just an idea!

[@lilysadventures8673]

Andy should try being in my taxi your not even allowed to eat school cooking in there. (Joking, but Andy's school bus might not allow food either. My assumption!)

[@jordon2074]

I have Asperger's syndrome and anxiety, and dude, you are doing a great job. Keep it up. #GoodDad

[@j_aviationOfficial]

I have same axinty as andy and I take my phone on the Transport and once I recorded but again I did not do anything I not go in kids way (like pointing camera angle shape in there way) once a friend spotted me and fleed out the Transport to The PACT CT-Coach call out teacher and I cried... Eventhough I just outburst on the driver,PA,PACT. ON MY BEHALF like my situation is nearly same I just Told Closest people and Fountly Fourm tutor and HEAD And head said:if wishes to continue I'd remove you and I'd lift you home until Friday.

[@nuclearyorkshire3179]

i've had this same problem on my LEA transport in yorkshire, i explained i need to take my phone because communication they said no. They have NO Autism training so be careful.

[@tiawoolgar9672]

I have my phone and I do the same but he should be aloud tell them at the meeting that you don’t put it in line and that you delete it because it’s NOT FARE

[@adamwymbs5398]

[@gourmet2276]

School transport should be appropriate for individual needs

[@ossyshaz]

It is a silly rule Kev hope you get it sorted some people just dont understand

[@crazyamy3210]

Would you ever consider looking if there’s any spaces at the autism specialised high school that he was going to go to?

[@kitkat10047]

I hate how these big organisations and councils are so picky about these small little things and make a decision with out looking at the full picture of what will impact the change. But when it comes to something which is a big problem they will look into it and wait before making any changes but because its a child they just through down the NO card and leave it. Its ridiculous !!

[@jlc973]

What a shame for Andy. I haven't seen the vlogs lately but saw this pop up on the KZbin inbox.😕 People make it very difficult at times but hope you can work around it somehow.

[@oliviaelliott1333]

Hope Andy is okay:( transport is a nightmare sometimes!

[@sharonlawrence4830]

Substantially disadvantaged without the use of an aid, that's how the law works

[@bronaghmurphy5643]

I hope you can come to some sort of compromise that will work for everyone especially Andy.

[@ozzacassiepophart6349]

I have a suggestio. Bye suggestion is sad you could have him forget him to try and listen to music when he is on the bus. I listen to music on the bus sometimes and it really helped. That would be my suggestion. And explain to them as long as he's listening to music or whatever he's not recording or anything.

[@anjholz5151]

I kind of find it ironic that they won't let him have his DS on the bus because in a typical child teenager 14 year old school bus they have their phones out they have their video cameras Facebook KZbin Instagram whatever else and they take videos and post stuff I mean how do you think the the kid funny things or the the teacher reaction kind of things are put on KZbin? And why should it matter if he has it if that's what he uses to help him process during the day then why should it matter I mean come on think about it kids playing on the phone all the time it's no different.

[@cv-w3269]

The way I see it, this situation is no different than someone bringing an emotional support animal on the bus.

[@charlottevicarage1331]

Please remember that THEY don't know Andy as well as you and I and everyone else here does. They don't know that what he's really recording is buses and for all they know, he may have been recording sensitive information even though we know he's not. They are just following protocol at the end of the day. Then again, hit may be time to arrange the taxi again.

[@OhJustHolly]

The whole situation with Andy is horrible but I completely understand the decision they make. You know that nothing happens with the footage but the other parents don’t have that security. I would feel very uncomfortable if my vulnerable child was being filmed, even inadvertently. Even if the camera was not pointed on me, my anxiety would cause me to feel very uncomfortable with the situation. Unfortunately, the it’s just not possible to cater to the individual needs of everybody.

[@gourmet2276]

I live in Lincolnshire and find the council not very helpful.

[@samrichardsonmyarcive6299]

Transport saturation round to the principle is that sprang it on you he won’t be able to cope he might surprise everyone and take it in his stride but why take the risk when he has done it for a really really long time

[@ExploringWithCam2018]

may i suggest something kev? Are you able yo get a hold of the footage he records with his DS? If you can show them what he is recording. Its horrible to hear this happening. I would advise going to your local MP to get more help with the individual transport.

[@sicknote4557]

Exploring With Cam kev has said before that Andy deletes footage off the DS and won’t let Anna or Kev look at it.

[@ExploringWithCam2018]

@@sicknote4557 im sure theres a way that you can get recently deleted footage back off a DS . I dont own one so not 100% sure. you can do it with smartphones im sure you can do it with a DS surely??

sorry what I said does not make sense. My voice input makes things sound really goofy. What I meant to say was have them let him at least bring music on the bus that he can listen to.

[@nicolek3486]

I feel for you I really do, so 1 new PA wants a super badge cos they just started on the job & has personally caused all this problem for you!!! , a similar thing happened to me when a new carer started & she had to have everything just so & investigate / tie up lose ends etc, it resulted in me losing care money set aside for my personal care after serious head surgeries I was to under go, I was awarded & the money was in the bank all set & ready to go towards the after care that I would need, What happened was somehow somewhere along the line the council changed there mind in how long it could be banked without being used, & we were just slightly over that time, so we lost the lot a week before the 1st of my major head surgeries....... So Yh I feel for you, although slightly different scenario.....
