I'm glad Andy is sleeping right again. 3 years ago my son's sleep got crazy. It was after he had a few seizures in one day out of nowhere. They never found out why they happened and they never have occurred since. After that though, he wouldn't sleep until 5 or 6 in the morning, and then would get up at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Took about 3 months to get it back down. I really like Anna. She made me laugh when she almost spit her water out while you told your burnt lip story lol
+Jaime Reynolds and us used to be much worse than it is now, he used to have to take melatonin to get to sleep, and even then he was rarely asleep before midnight, would only fall asleep on the sofa, and then had to be carried to bed asleep. I’m not sure what we’d do if he went back to that, because he’s too big to carry now
lollujo Vlogs melatonin is what I used a bit to get him back to normal sleep. It was hard though because he won't take medicine. I would have to crush it in his water (will only drink water) or crush it up in his peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He got wise to that though, and won't eat peanut butter and jelly anymore. Started to know what mama was up to LOL
Does Andy like any craft things to do at home?? Hobby craft have some great painting and sticking boxes and he can make and paint things however he wants to. Also some porcelain figures, and he can paint them fo his room :) Would love to see Andy doing some painting and crafting :) xxx
+MsAjd1978 he doesn’t have any interest in anything like that. It’s always a battle getting him to do anything that doesn’t involve an electronic device
Maybe like with the bedtimes, include "device time" on his board. And then include "other activity" time too. Give him a choice and he can chose the "other things" he wants to do, that way he's in control. My son is just the same as Andy, will not do anything other than his PlayStation or iPad. CAMHS suggested time slots in his daily routine and it worked like a treat. It's difficult, I know, cause he'll put up resistance but stay strong. Have you tried things like the park or going to a play gym/trampoline place?? You can book a special slot time so that it's just him there.xxx
+MsAjd1978 at the moment we’re happy just getting him to school every day. We know from experience if we push too hard too fast with him he’ll withdraw completely and refuse to leave the house or eat/drink again which is how he was around this time last year
I love Anna's personality, wish she was on the vlogs a bit more. Anna, you have beautiful skin, wish I had skin like you.(lol sorry if that sounded weird)
Hi thank you so much for making these vlogs there very intresting and I have really enjoyed watching them all. I’ve watch all the vlogs from January this year and the vlog and your life seems to has changed so much. Can I ask did u ever think in January you would be doing TH-cam / being an author full time by now ?
I have autism and every year my parent force me to go to the fireworks display and I nearly always have panic attacks( I have anxiety too) and I then look really weird and always have to bring a [Tangle] around with me
"I need to get in the shower and sort this out. I'm gonna try and bring you with me" Uh oh! "to as much of today as I possibly can". Oh please God not to the shower!
Tell him to go bed at 7:30 And play on his ipad when it’s 8:30 see if he’s asleep if not say Andy it’s bed you had extra time when he’s did not #ANDYROCKS
Kev I know that your not a religious person and I respect that but I'm going to start praying for Andy for a healing and I'm gonna lift up the situation in my church if that's OK with you and Anna
+TXOBY we have to cut it ourselves, we’ve been asked to leave a lot of hairdressers over the years. Now I basically have to pin him down while Anna shaved his head, so it doesn’t happen very often

I have autism also I use ear defenders, the help a lot. I like the fireworks the are pretty, I don’t like the noisy ones. I’ve tangles too, but I got something new today it’s Aaron’s thinking putty and I really like it.
the beast Autism does not mean you can’t communicate, it’s social and communication problems. There is different levels of autism spectrum disorder. I’ve a very high IQ but struggle with daily things and social situations. You should read some more about autism spectrum disorder, everyone on the spectrum is different, nobody has the same traits.

I love Anna's personality, wish she was on the vlogs a bit more. Anna, you have beautiful skin, wish I had skin like you.(lol sorry if that sounded weird)
+Gaby Edwards I try to get her on every day, but she’s a bit fussy about when the camera is pointed at her!
lollujo Vlogs lol too funny!!! Tell her we want to see more of her.
+Gaby Edwards I already showed her your comment. She won’t come on without makeup on.

Tell him to go bed at 7:30 And play on his ipad when it’s 8:30 see if he’s asleep if not say Andy it’s bed you had extra time when he’s did not #ANDYROCKS
+Ajjoe we don’t let him take his iPad up to bed. The issue isn’t making him go to bed, it’s keeping him awake long enough

Im 980 must be horrible for you.my son has autism and we don't go to firework displays due to his anxiety
Awe. Yeah my parents kinda don’t get how it makes me feel cause it is hard for me to explain...
Im 980 that's a shame. could you say the loud noises frighten you and hurt your ears as that's how my son feels
I have autism also I use ear defenders, the help a lot. I like the fireworks the are pretty, I don’t like the noisy ones. I’ve tangles too, but I got something new today it’s Aaron’s thinking putty and I really like it.
