ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
I'm a 39 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.

I'm so impressed how well Andy did with getting involved considering I'm assuming it's a completely new environment and change of routine for him. 👍

[@bobblejones]

What Are You Doing Tonight, Kevin Chapman?

[@Ellasnaps]

Kev if you're ever in the south-east you could take Andy to the Bluebell railway, it's an old fashioned steam train thats a train ride away from Central London!!

[@stacebrewer]

Andy is looking so healthy. Not just his weight but there was a recommended video from a year ago and you can see it in the colour of his skin on his face how much healthier he is. You guys have done a wonderful job with his food over the last couple of years and it’s been really inspiring to watch

[@laurabaker81]

It was so good to Andy enjoying this fabulous place!! I want to go 😂

[@AlexGarrickActress]

I think Andy would really enjoy Eureka Childrens Science Museum in Halifax, West Yorkshire

[@Peach_VOxo]

So glad Andy had a great time! I will have to take my daughter thats autistic x

[@eileendoherty2836]

Hi Kevin do u watch fathering autism ?

[@bethanybeth8429]

andy did amazing well

[@lucaazim8558]

There is also a huge soft play area in Rugby, not sure if they do an SEND session

[@ratskelll]

I find most trampoline parks + play areas offer one if you ask, so hopefully they do (:

[@lisapragnell1615]

we use to take our lad there every month when we lived in northampton brilliant place, glad he enjoyed it.

[@ratskelll]

I'm just disappointed I never knew it existed the whole time I lived there! A bit noisy though even during the SEN times, is it normally that noisy?

[@piggytoothpaste8733]

Ouch: copyright claimed my Owl City

Hi Kevin I know u probably won't see this but have you tried taking Andy to filp out its a trampoline Park if he likes that type of thing

[@EML_Shadow]

kevin you should be on strictley

[@traceygilligan1201]

Brilliant place, so pleased that you all had fun

[@michellethorne4678]

The sound was great

[@Wato82]

That was awesome and glad Andy enjoyed the time in there

[@becomeblackbelt]

Andy has put on weight. He looks healthy. Kev and Anna are doing the best they can with his food intake.

[@danielonn2002]

Owl City Firelies lol!

[@pau6545]

He's 17, seriously start teaching him to be independent..

[@ratskelll]

Andy has autism w high support needs, and his parents are doing what's best for him. He's actually done a lot of hard work to be where he is, and I'm sure Anna + Kevin are very proud of him. I'm autistic, with moderate-mild support needs depending on the day + wasn't independent at 17, or for most of the time when I was 18. We do things at our own pace, and everything is harder, and takes much more effort + work! We're also vulnerable, which makes us easy targets for bad people, so it's actually best to take steps towards independence slowly + carefully. Also, if you rush it with an autistic person, you're risking reversing any progress that was made. Unless you're his parents/carers, or his psychiatrist, or smth like his social worker you have no say in Andy's care, you have no say in his independence, and you shouldn't be telling his parents what to do. I would've been lucky to have had parents as helpful and supportive as Andy's, and many other autistic children are being abused or treated terribly by theirs!

[@Peach_VOxo]

Here I come ❤❤❤

[@krab4473]

hi

[@harryolney03]

My heart melts when I see Ana with Andy she so good with him and such a gd mum figure love you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tee_jay1802]

Wot the age limit for the sen nights

[@anneka785]

This one is up to 17 years old

[@tee_jay1802]

There a place for people wiv special needs called workbridge tht near riverside it good

[@ratskelll]

That's for jobs, (or just the cafe) and normally they'll have to be patients at the hospital. Plus, I took a tour when I was given the chance to work there + I really didn't like the way they treated the other disabled people /: st andrews is a pile of burning garbage though, so it makes sense

[@tee_jay1802]

@@ratskelll i go there and i love it it not jobs it teaches disabled people skills like pottery coffee shop the charity shop gardening woodwork contracting etc

[@ratskelll]

@@tee_jay1802 yea, the contracting specifically is what I was talking about. Didn't like the way they talked to the disabled ppl working there at all. And I thought the rest was only for SAH patients (pottery + woodwork, etc), I didn't realise the general public could go

[@Sherpiddy]

Are you going to comicon this year Kev?

[@kevinchapmanvlog]

Should be

[@ratskelll]

@@kevinchapmanvlog Is that London comic con? Also, if we're there, is it ok to say hi?
