Amy is so sweet with Andy! When he got up from the chair and she turned to talk to you, she was like "oh, bye!" And when he wanted room on the chair she said "oh, sorry" and carried on. You can tell they're really comfortable with each other as siblings, I love it. {:
Have you tried bringing out sensory toys in the cold. My friend also sticks his hands in his mouth when its cold and he has to take a fidget cube out with him. Hope it helps :)
Someone else mentioned Iron and I would also agree with that. I have chronic low iron due to Lupus and I literally bruise all over my body and often have zero clue where they even came from. They generally do not hurt at all and I usually dont even notice them. My husband will say "Oh my God what did you do??" and Im like what? Oh, no clue! Iron poor blood causing very easy bruising. Be careful with supplements though. They can cause terrible constipation which from watching your vlogs Im certain you dont need to be dealing with either!
Every time I hear Boston my heart leaps because you are my fave youtuber, mainly for fm. Then I realise half the time I’m in school and the other half I’m at home doing art hw and not going out till Boston are on if I’m going
i had the thing with gloves too, what helped for me: gloves without the fingers, a jacket with some sort of extended part that i could put over my hands, but not over my fingers, pockets in my jacket that were really, really warm
❤ I'm so glad you're getting this much support :) I'm only 11 but I, for one, find things like autism very interesting, and your channel really shines light on it. Keep up the good work, greetings from Scotland. ❤😃
I wonder what He would think of a rice bag warmer? basicly a fabric sack filled with rice and you can microwave it for a few mins, he might like to hold/ play with it.
If the feeling of hand lotion of his hands wouldn't annoy Andy, maybe that would be a good idea? The fragrance may deter him from putting his fingers in his mouth and if not, at least it helps them from getting too dry and sore. (An educated guess rather than one from experience so apologies if that's a bad suggestion)
No solution to the hands in the mouth but in regards to the gloves thing have you tried buying Andy a coat that has like lining inside the sleeve with a thumb hole? Not sure if that makes sense but it's like fingerless gloves inside the coat sleeves
His iron levels may be low if his diet isn't nutritionally complete and he's bruising like that. A simple bump could cause him to bruise like that. Maybe get labs checked?? I know I bruised like that when I was anemic, and it got to be severe before they figured it out and put me on the right type of iron. The other marks.. is it possible it's self-injurious? Or even another child at school grabbing at him?
he could also just bruise easily! i bruise from even the slightest bump and my iron levels have been completely normal my whole life. sometimes you just have to be a little extra careful!
You can buy hand warmers? Normally for the first use you just click a metal disk inside it and it will heat up but then you have to boil it for a few mins in a towel. You can just place them in his pockets and it will keep his hands warm
Oh, I misheard you. There is some stuff to stop you biting your nails, it just tastes horrible but I don't know what else he could use but I hope you find something soon! :)
I would just like to say something , your channel is so interesting and you really show how children with autism really work, I love your videos, my boyfriend and I always watch you as he has autism too and it really interests him , keep doing what your doing because your doing amazing , may I have a shout out on your next video ☺️x
Love your vlogs, have you ever thought about replacing his coke and Pepsi as that can help stop him being hyper, as a family member of mine as the same, they took him off the coke and it calmed his hyper ness down a lot , thanks for the great content from mark in notts, well wishes 😊
I’ve a problem even wearing a jacket in the cold, explains why I’m sick now. Could Andy maybe not want to wear gloves because he won’t be able to use the DS? I know if I have my iPad with me I won’t wear gloves, same as people who use phones. You could try ones without the fingertips for gloves, don’t know if he would still want to use them though.
Couple of questions...Does the respite care decide when and how often he can come or do you? How long has he been going to respite and how in the world did you get him to do it? That seems impossible! Getting him to spend the night without Anna or even just going, sounds like a challenge based on what we see him refuse in other areas. Is it something you have to pay for and who is the staff and their qualifications? Did you ever see my question about the ATM machine?
+Traci G. Social services decide how often he goes, and the respite place themselves decide when. The first time he went it was a bit of a battle, but now it’s just routine for him once a month. He’s been going about a year. Social services set it up. I don’t remember a question about an atm.
@@stellagorga1846 o shut up, he's not in a room alone, he's with other people like himself!! Do you live with a child like Andy 24/7 because if you don't you've no idea how draining it can be. They and he deserve a break
Have you tired getting him the heat pocket hand warmer things that cricketers use? They are like squeezable heat patches that you warm your hands on for keeping them flexible for catching cricket balls when you are stood around all day. You can put them in him pockets? I'm sure he'd find the warmth fun? Something similar to this Mycoal hand and foot warmers - 1 PAIRS EACH www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00631R6UC/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_DJCiAb6HQ7EP8
Here there is more help for Austic kids. Maybe social services that gave you Respite will do the same . One hour in the morning to get ready for school and one hour at evening to get ready for bed. A trained worker comes to your house to do this. In school a shadow person or teachers aid is supplied for one on one with him.
would it be a possibility for him to have those hot hand things in his pockets? or would it be generally too hot for your local weather and potentially unsafe?
I have a solution to the hand in mouth problem because I used to bite my nails then I got a special nail polish which tastes really bitter so it keeps my fingers out of my mouth hope this was helpful
Also (I should learn to comment after the video), is the respite care an autism place or mixed? My sister has respite with a heart defect (among a few other things), but there's a range of illnesses there which I would say has helped with her mixing, making friends and understanding that she isn't alone or odd or anything like that.
Will he only drink pops?since he drinks soda? Or will he drink juice or milk so you guys could replace intake with like boost or ensure dairy ir clear ensure of boost that juice... If not do you guys replace feeding with a feeding tube? I dont remember seeing one in previous videos but maybe overlooked it... because poor nutrion can cause difancy cause easy bruisin.. Could be truly acsdent brusing but defentily keep down doted down when bruises are comeing. To make sure brusing alot can be dangrous better look into it to be on safe side. Because could be his platlet acount being low or iron. Their ALOT reason that can cause this. but safer to find out get checked verse taking chance to make sure it is not anything serious if it is platlets or iron can get dangrous.. But since he struggle get him eat alot things getting him checked for calcium/ vitamin D.. Iron/ cholesterol/ complete blood count. complet blood count and iron and vitamin K woul be most concerning. But if you would have to do labs. You myswell talk to dr to run the magority of stuff that could be the more basic with Iron and vitamin defiancy... Because can make BIG difrance
Ask at your school they can point you in the right direction your local council may have some info too. some councils will pay for it but not all off over night care .I have a few staff from my boys special needs school that will take my younger son for a few hours a week(my older son is a bit of a handful so I can't get restspite care for him). we pay for the restspite from our son's DLA it works out to around £10 an hour but it gets him out of the house and he enjoys time away from his big Bro as they tend to clash with each other if around one another for too long.
He uses it mainly for videos, although he’s started playing Animal Crossing on it recently. He doesn’t fill the card because he deletes all the video before bed every night.
I’m slightly autistic and a common side effect I have is OCD maybe Andy has OCD like myself i was exactly like Andy but I grew out of it after I turned 12
To get some time away from us to help build his independence and do things he wouldn’t be able to do at home like bounce on a trampoline built in to the floor in front of the TV, and also to allow us to do things we couldn’t do with him like take our other children out for the day or go to the cinema or for a meal.
My sister bites her fingers and you can buy this liquid you put on your hands/fingers that taste disgusting but it stops them doing it it is also used for people who suck there thumbs
Amy is so sweet with Andy! When he got up from the chair and she turned to talk to you, she was like "oh, bye!" And when he wanted room on the chair she said "oh, sorry" and carried on. You can tell they're really comfortable with each other as siblings, I love it. {:
awww so sweet that he said one more sleep until mummy and daddy :)
Andy’s voice always cheers me up!

I love listening to the bells as well

Y'all are such a sweet family just plum bueatiful
I am 12 and got autism . I love watching your vlogs
Thanks for sharing what Andy does at respite it is interested and good to get a better insight into respite care.
Loving being able to see my home town lol. I can recognise it so well
@lollujovlogs I bet Andy would love to go to Ely cathedral! It's massive and got interesting architecture, with a nice village to explore
Love the smile you got here from Andy lol
Amazing video. Come home from college most days with your video waiting for me. Great content. Cant wait for 2018.
I love the patience u guys have for him
thanks for the veil into ur world my nephew is hyper flexible too looks painfull but doesn't seem to bother him

I can visualise Andy being asked things at Respite and Harmonising those no thank yous 😀

How long before Andy was calling you dad ?
A month or two
I love Amy's hoodie where did she get it . I'm a massive Harry Potter fan 😊
+sonia moloney she got it from Comic Con when we went a week or two back

Wow your channel is growing like crazy 😜
love the Harry Potter jumper I want one.

How did he do that with his leg at 10:30
He’s very flexible
he's taking video? Future TH-camr! 😎
8:43 he said marajuana wrong 😂😂
Does Andy have a routine for the Grandparents? Places he likes to sit etc?
+MattB88 _ yeah, always the same chair

For glove thing, I know you might have, but there are some gloves that are fingerless - maybe they would be better ..?
Love your youngest daughter hoodie I love Harry Potter so I’m obsessed with it
what does he actually do on his Nintendo? does he record him walking?
MilezyGamez _ Yh
get him hand warmers
That's it...I'm making Yorkshire puddings for breakfast tomorrow!
He seems to be doing better.
Put hand warmers in his pockets so when he goes to put them in there all warm 😎
I have asperges AD HD OCD, i dont like whering gloves
Heat warmers would be good to keep his hands warm he could hold them and it would mean he doesn't have to wear gloves or anything
12:30 for people wondering
would it be a possibility for him to have those hot hand things in his pockets? or would it be generally too hot for your local weather and potentially unsafe?
Put hand warmers in his pocket
Good bells! 👍
I have a solution to the hand in mouth problem because I used to bite my nails then I got a special nail polish which tastes really bitter so it keeps my fingers out of my mouth hope this was helpful
Fab vid as ever my friends daughter who is autistic also licks her fingers but she cleans the table shes also trying to get her out of that habit x
Also (I should learn to comment after the video), is the respite care an autism place or mixed?

+MattB88 _ it’s not specific to autism, it’s for all children that might need respite care

10:51 Funny when Andy grabbed the pillow in his teeth
Kev Please see about Filming the Panto as a bonus VLOG
My friend got a minute on the last level of super hexagon, he’s good
Get the gloves that cut off at the fingers
3:08 he wont wear gloves or put hand in pocket as andy has his hand in his pocket lol
Love the vlog
I live in Boston I hope I see you
Do they take him out to places when he’s at respite?? Are there other children there too??
+MsAjd1978 they try to, but he usually refuses. There’s usually 4-5 children there at a time, and it’s usually the same children each visit
Would he hold a hand warmer? You just pop them and they heat up when you need 🤗
He’d probably try and chew it
Your vlogs are well cool
the kevin owens show,what do you think about sd live?
Have you tried hand sanitizer or a lotion that may have an off putting scent or just tastes bad?
I don't mean this in a negative way at all, but Andy does have a certain Mr Bean quality to him, facially. It's equal parts adorable and hilarious.
So Lucy will inherit Lollujo then...
No mention of his friend at the respite place, Kev?
Is the church u went Into the one Megan and Harry got married at and William and Kate got married at too?
Oh my God! I love super hexagon I just installed it XD
where did Amy get her hoody from? I want one!
She got it at Comic Con a few weeks ago
I was just wondering, how do you access respite?
It was through our social worker
lollujo Vlogs thanks. My son is on the spectrum and we could really do with respite.
Ask at your school they can point you in the right direction your local council may have some info too. some councils will pay for it but not all off over night care .I have a few staff from my boys special needs school that will take my younger son for a few hours a week(my older son is a bit of a handful so I can't get restspite care for him). we pay for the restspite from our son's DLA it works out to around £10 an hour but it gets him out of the house and he enjoys time away from his big Bro as they tend to clash with each other if around one another for too long.
k Dickens Thanks
At looking relly good mate hove a great picture of there of Aendy mate form Greg
Also, I know it defeats the purpose but why don't you try fingerless gloves as start?
Does Andy use his DS specifically for taking videos, if so has he ever filled up a storage card?
He uses it mainly for videos, although he’s started playing Animal Crossing on it recently. He doesn’t fill the card because he deletes all the video before bed every night.
I’m slightly autistic and a common side effect I have is OCD maybe Andy has OCD like myself i was exactly like Andy but I grew out of it after I turned 12
Watching your videos make me respect people who have children with autism, seems like an awful amount of work to do.
If I was Amy or Lucy I would have not been able to resist plunging social medias
I find ur son funny and cute
Whey dose he go to restbite care
To get some time away from us to help build his independence and do things he wouldn’t be able to do at home like bounce on a trampoline built in to the floor in front of the TV, and also to allow us to do things we couldn’t do with him like take our other children out for the day or go to the cinema or for a meal.
Is he easily bruising from scurvy from lacking vit C in his diet?
+Mika Mika it’s not a concern he’s Doctor has ever had
lollujo Vlogs hopefully it was just a little random accident & no more appear! ☺️
Mara joo wana. 😂😂
Could you do a video on your guys family situation? Sorry if that sounded rude it wasn’t meant to be I’m just interested x Also how old is Amy? xx
My sister bites her fingers and you can buy this liquid you put on your hands/fingers that taste disgusting but it stops them doing it it is also used for people who suck there thumbs
Louie Passey my brother used that stuff when he bit his nails
those are for nail biting, i used them before and they never really worked
I hope you don't mind me asking but whose kids are whose - I love you BTW and keep up the good work with the vlogs x
Emily Trevillion
Lucy and Amy are Kevins, Andy is Annas.
THCBpigen9280 i never knew that! So is Kevin andys step dad?x
10:30
Andy is really flexible
Well seeing the student knew the smell of weed lol
What is respite?
Try putting some of that stuff that doesn’t taste nice when your kid bites their nails then maybe he will be more convinced to put them in his pocket
Yes welcome to Boston Kev. As far as I know thenlast drug ring got busted last year so it may be the douchebags in my year
Whey Boston, I'm from Skeg.
Kane Owen Sutton on Sea is better...
I have ASD and really don’t cope well in Skegness. Too much crowd and noise
Hi
Hi kev
