    You walked past my old school. But seriously you and Anna can be an inspiration for all parents out there.

    I remember watching that week as it unfolded. I've never been so engaged in anyone's content before; it had me hooked throughout the week. I was pleased for you when you made that decision and the progress that Andy has made since then has been incredible. Best of luck to you all for this coming year; I hope it continues to go well.

    This is a beautiful, heartfelt video. I think you got yourself a Daddy's boy there, Kev. Andy is lucky to have you in his life. As you are to have him in yours. You and Anna have done a fabulous job in this last year. As a mother of four children, I know first hand how hard it is to make your child do anything that truly upsets them. Its enough to make you physically ill. I'm certain it took a large amount of self restraint on her part not to just wrap her arms around him and make it all better instead of forcing him in to school. Such a hufe improvement from then until now. No thanka to the school system. This is the doing of you and Anna. 💙💙

    Amazing...just started watching your videos from the beginning and I am so so surprised at the progress in a small about of time. I think it is so amazing how you have stepped up and taken such a true interest in getting Andy the help he needs. Such disgust at the government and the slow to no action they Re willing to put forth for children in such dire need. I also just watched a few videos with you and your daughters. What lovely young ladies. I see such hope for Andy and I hope your channel grows fast so you are able to continue as you are.

    Hi Kev, my son has ASD (albeit milder than Andy) but making him do things he has to do is difficult. Like you and Anna we have to explore every option and try everything we can think of until we get there. I hope you realise how your vlogs help people to understand autism and that people dealing with it are not alone. Cheers mate. Keep up the good work.

    I live 60 miles from my ex wife. We have 3 kids eldest is 11 in November he suffers adh my middle son and youngest have autism and adhd and they refusing to go into school. We think it's due to previous school they was mercilessly bullied due to their autism and your right literally no one helps. My ex wife is amazing she a superhero to me but it's breaking her down. But literally no one helps. My middle boy has his first autism assessment end of this week but it's taken almost 7yrs to get this appointment. Your videos have given me hope

      The paperwork took an age to get done and by the time she was ready to start, he was already back at school so we felt like we didn’t need her anymore.

  • @That1GGirl

    In USA it is illegal to refuse a child into a school! By law the school has to accommodate the disabled child!!!! Even if they need to hire a aid or a teacher or nurse, by law they have to have all that for the disabled child! If they don’t, sue them! I had to threaten to sue my sons school because they refused hiring a aid to feed him. I had to get a doctor confirm that the school basically inflicted health problems to my son because they refused to hire a aid to feed him by spoon. My son is on a liquid diet because he can’t chew. So finally the school is feeding my son! They got scared because my son ended up in icu because he was so sick from not drinking any water in a 100 degree weather.

      That’s not how it works in the UK - here all the onus is on the parent to get the child to school.
