On today's autism family vlog: our plans for the day are thrown off course by the weather - after I had a little rant about it, we got on with the rest of the day and tried to find out why Andy has fallen out with his camera, which led on to some discussion and examples of just general rising tension at the moment, which could be to do with back to school anxiety, boredom or any number of other things.

ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN
Hi, I'm Kevin Chapman, a full-time CZcamsr, 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! Previously known as lollujo Vlogs.

kev i really think this is his grieving process if he can't enjoy the things he likes its hitting him that mammar is gone and won't come back i feel sorry for u guys its so upsetting but i will support u in anyway possible
Sound went at 9:20 ish
Kevin Chapman I think the whole school resuming soon and him seeing yesterdayâs vlog about his TA being removed from being with him being removed might have triggered him (as in he knows the TA is being removed as his assistant which might be triggering this) I would if I were you during the first week of school ask his TA to sit down with him and ask him whats wrong. Also maybe he knows hes got a new teacher which might be triggering it
Maybe the settings has changed on his camera
Kevin Chapman maybe when he went to Huntington before he didnât like it or he got bored and there wasnât much to film or look at so he thinks that there wonât be anything to do itâs probably not but just an idea
I spend an entire night worrying about a trip to legoland last Saturday because the day before my son was like this. Agitated and anxious but no particular thing i could pin point. Also had a seizure/migraine a few days before. I ended up not sleeping sick with worry. i woke up and he was up before me all happy and said 'when are we going?' And we had a fantastic day!!
I really hope the same happens for you and Andy wakes up in a better mood.
Fingers crossed. I wouldn't push him any more about the camera just take it incase he asks.
Is it that Huntingdon is on his mind so he doesn't want to take camera incase you go to Huntingdon and he thinks that's where things brake maybe that's why he's been talking about Anna's mum again aswell
i think it is because of this, i maybe wrong but it sounds like it for Andy
Yes i agree, he remember smashing his old camera, and is now worried about smashing his new one.
I think, not sure, that he sees the hospital as a place to fix broken people. Makes sense apart from the hospital wasnt in huntingdon. Sounds likely tho
@@Will-wq5ek but I think he thinks she is broken that's what he keeps saying
He hasnât dropped the camera has he, it looks pretty robust, but he might think itâs broken because thatâs whatâs happening? The fact he likes to film McDonalds with it might be why he was looking at that? Possibly the stress of going back to school may just be filtering into âI must keep everything the same, argh remember that time in Huntingdon when my filming device broke, mustnât use that now just in caseâ. Just a thought, hope things improve! Also, another shout, maybe Nottingham is a âsafe place where things donât go wrongâ, and Huntingdon is, maybe Nottingham is a âsafe placeâ to use his camera, which is obviously important to him.
I like the premier inn too
Could Andy have possibly messed with the settings in the camera and changed something? Did it always go straight on to taking a photo? Or was there a start-up screen when you turned it on that he possibly turned off in settings? Or maybe he turned on or off a setting that either took some kind of little symbol away? Or made one appear that wasn't previously there?
I can't imagine how bonkers this must be making you! I'm not even in the same country as you and I am racking my brain trying to think what could be making him have a sudden change of heart. Please keep us updated!
It probably is because of school. Lots of kids get stressed out when they are due to go back to school. That and boredom with how long they have off for summer and he probably doesn't know how to process these feelings. Hope today went well with the steam trains
I do hope you have a good day tomorrow Kev. I do hope Andy feels better soon. Im sure when he has a routine again he will be happier soon. Stay awesome Kev
I wouldn't worry Kev. He is probably anxious and when you're anxious sometimes you can't be bothered to do the things you usually enjoy, as its just extra effort. It also increases your irritability
I love how in the intro dave gets mentioned before Anna đ
I love the why he sing in the night garden theme tune đ
Obviously you both are Andy experts and I love the way you are always trying to figure out how you can both assist him. I know my son loves on things, with huge devotion for some time and then moves on. Mostly he always comes back to them in his own time and way. Thus It could be just a phase. I know from experiencing grief with a child with ASD, the extensive time it took, not understanding why he couldn't see his poppa anymore. Other than going back to school, holiday boredom and such it is likely he is still processing his loss. As time passes that processing becomes more, as it becomes more obvious to them it is the longest time since seeing their loved one. I'm not saying the two issues of not wishing to use the camera and his sensitivity of feelings are related. I wonder merely since he voices only so much and is still perhaps still processing everything of the past few months, all the good and the life changing times. I'm truly wishing you all the very best. Many Blessings đ
Im the same age as Andy and i also had an I pod touch đ
I love how he started singing the tune of in the night garden, that show is amazing
Don't worry Kev. My brother has autism and has got massive anxiety about going back to school. The closer school is getting the more stressed and grumpy he is becoming. He's does this every summer holiday but about a week after going back to school and resuming routine he become 'normal' again and back to himself.
Iâm very high functioning with Aspergers I used to get very stressed going back to school after the summer holidays.
It seems to be every bank holiday weekend here in the U.K. it always rains!!!!!!
I think Andy doesn't like the filming/camera anymore is due to the meet up. Maybe now he realises its actual people watching the vlogs and doesn't quite like that? Not sure just a theory, love the videos Kev!
Finno that could be true
Iâm not sure he connects the two things in that way. And even if he did, heâs used the camera since then, he used it on our last day in Blackpool a little bit
@Finno I thought the same
I dont think so he wants to go to blackpool again because if it was that he wouldnt speak a word of blackpool. But good idea.
I can totally understand and sympathies at the anxiety that Andy is showing, my autistic son is the same at the minute and his is down to going back to school.
if id have to make a wild guess.. seeing Huntington jogged his memory about his old iPod and how when it broke he maybe got a new upgrade camera .. and now hes worked out that if his current one is broken he might get another new upgrade?
PROBLOX He never seems to want an âupgradeâ on something. Either itâs good enough or not
Could be possible? Seeing as they cat figure out whatâs wrong it doesnât seem like a frequent problem they face or even a problem theyâve faced at all before so this could be Andy just doing something new (seen from his emotions) that theyâre getting used to
Omg u watch this channel? I watch your livestreams
A did not realise I watched your FM videos back at Christmas as I just found out this channel a few days ago
Is he stressed about school because I feel like that sometimes I just feel anxiety and stress about going to school so that might be why
I think this is the most likely thing
Kev i think andy is in the stages of puberty and he is getting stressed with changes that might be happening in his body. Maybe he is seeing the world in a new light.
If you charge something and itâs at 100% for a while, for example, a phone, it will slowly lose its battery life overtime.
Could it be that he has realised what dead or broken means for Annaâs mum and that he doesnât want it to happen to his camera and PlayStation to be broken/dead? Might be wrong but just a thought
But heâs not having the same issue with his iPad, 2DS or Vita
Kevin Chapman maybe itâs because heâs never run them things out but he has run the camera and controller out?
I found myself humming the intro theme all day, not knowing what it was until I watched the vid!
Did he watch yesterday's vlog? Maybe he caught on to his assistant or teacher being reassigned/leaving? the fixation on charging or getting to 100% charge is trying to ease his anxiety or OCD manifesting itself? Keep up the Vlogs Kevin!
My brother (also on the spectrum) had a really hard time with summer breaks and transitions back to school. Andy has gone through a lot of change these last few months..good and bad and that is a lot for anyone his age to deal with and his rutine was thrown off and he is probably just anticipating more change to the rutine of summer he just got settled into. Anna starting work again could be a factor as well. For a brief period my mom went back to work in a temp position and i cared for my brother after school and it really threw him off. He didnt want his playstation (1 showing our age here lol) at all till my mom was done with the temp job. My guess is things will hopefully get better when school is back and he gets settled back into a usual rutine.
Been watching since 30k amazing videos keep up the good videos!
Omg Kev I live in Huntingdon I never knew you went đ±
Hi kev maybe you could try adding through Andy's eyes to the board under the activities he would typically enjoy to remind him he likes it and it might just help him to get into his groove / routine which may make him enjoy it again .
Hope this helps keep up the great work
Kevin there is no sound after 9:18 in the right headphone but the rest is fine
Iâve just watched it, and it seems the sound app switches to the left speaker/headphone at that point for some reason. Not sure why. Iâm going to guess youâve only got the right side earphone in.
@@kevinchapmanvlog yep
Kevin Chapman well, my left earphone is broken so I guess Iâm not going to hear the rest until later đ
Maybe heâs just having a funny 5 mins... just a typical teenage moment đ
I love trains because my dad day works for southern rail
Could it be that he's still trying to process what he has already filmed, so more video would be too much?
I have a thing about the low battery too. As soon as my battery drops below seventy, I feel really stressed out an anxious. With my phone, Iâm like it because I feel like, when the battery is low, itâll suddenly die on me and any contact to my family Will be cut off. Maybe itâs like that with Andy? Like, heâs scared that his camera will run out of battery, so he doesnât want to use it at all.
My son out his route been hell my house pass 6 week
Donât wanted shopping donât wanted play outside
It hard work đ Iâm single mum it not nice
I hope Andy get better soon and hope Anna copes with it all well
Maybe He Might have a little bit of OCD maybe itâs definitely not fully showing but as he keeps wanting it to be fully charged maybe it might be that
could you try a portable battery pack whith the camrea it might be becase of the charge and it would keep it at 100 % also i want to get andy a simpsons hat that is the same as his old school bag but it will have eyes because he was okay whith the bag should i assume that the hat will be okay
Best CZcams Family
EVAAAAAAAAAAA
Yes, kids do get grumpy at this point in the holiday. Speaking as a graduated college kid I remember the first two weeks before moving back were always anxiety filled.
Maybe the settings has messed up btw I love your vlogs
I think the reason hes asking to charge things and getting fustrated is all down to him missing Anna's mum and not understanding why she can't be charged back up
Has he maybe changed the settings on it
ive missed a few episodes, but i wonder if since explaining the death in terms the way you did with technology, he associates the camera with that? just a guess, lots of love xx
It could be school because it is starting soon
Is there any space on the memory card of the camera? Maybe he can only record for a few seconds/ minutes and then it stops so he may think he needs a new one or that it doesn't work? Hope you guys figure it out I love your videos ! đ€đ» x
Is it maybe just because he loves his through Andy eyes videos so much that when the camera broke it upset him so much he didn't want to be put through that again and his answer to that is not using it at all?
I know it's a bit of a stretch but just throwing ideas out there
Maybe because of his grandmaâs death he now thinks âbrokenâ means not able to work again. I could be totally wrong , just an idea.
It is the most common thing for kids to be grumpy at the end of summer
this is just a thought, and I hope it'sâ not correct but... You have mentioned before he has periods of Low Mood/Depression. A sign of depression is not enjoying or wanting to do things that you have previously enjoyed or wanted to do. Maybe the stress of school starting soon along with the teacher and possible TA change has not only triggered his anxiety but also an episode of depression or low mood? I'm not sure, that would be my guess though.
Let me have a guess, he was holding the PS4 charger while playing. Maybe....maybe the charger of the camera also needs to be hold while charging because something broke and he is stressing out a bit because of that.
Your last scene only comes through one side of my headphones
Buy two controllers and always have one charged.
Get a bigger camcorder. That one is really small and if I had one like that, I would probably step on it and then throw it in the garbage
Maybe he's just bored with the camera. I thought it was so fun seeing him be so vocal and active without it. Maybe its for the best that he take a break.
Is it because he canât ring the bell anymore in the church After he did it the first time he did because he canât reach it.i hope this helps.
Ellie Neville that wouldnât be a reason why he wouldnât. He filmed after her rang the bell.
maybe it's to do with not being allowed to film in yesterday's vlog?
Try putting it in a box and letting him open it so he thinks it's new
My brothers autistic and he broke his phone and we got it fixed and he was avoiding it and a month or so later he said its because its new because it didn't have little scratches on the screen. Hope Andy starts feeling better and filming soon đ
Have you looked at what's on there file wise?
yeah see what the last video he filmed was
I dont know if this could be a reason as to why Andy doesnt want to film anymore, but did he watch your video where you showed parts of his through Andys eyes video on your channel. I know you said on there about the amount of filming he did on the train and other things about it. Maybe he felt like he doesnt need to film now youve pointed out how much he films certain parts of his day? just an idea :)
Do you think he may be anxious about going back to school and having a new teacher and TA? I donât know if he knows thatâs changing or not
Hmm.. I think Andy might be stressed or possibly it could be puberty? Have you changed routine in any way and has he filmed a place or a thing that he didn't like, idk hope it helps
4:06 In the night garden
Well you got your day at the steam railway.
maybe he has recently remembered the ipod smashing and starting looking at huntingdon because he knew that was where it had happened he wants to visit because there is a mcdonalds and premier inn but he has the memory of breaking something he loves there so he feels the anxiety connected to that memory. ?
Moody teenager maybe? My boy has been moody for about 6 months now đđđ
mabye he i just going through a faze
by the way i love your content always enjoy watching
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK : )
Outro in the intro, lol
I donât idea why ??
Try asking him ?
Hot touch it ?
Love the videos kev
I don't know if it's just my phone but for most of the vlog it sounds as if the Mic hasn't been plugged in properly when you're talking! Hope it is just my phone đ
He might want the iPod again? Idk I have an autism brother and that is what usaly happens with them
when we went to greece IT RAINED!!
I best Andy anxous about going back to school .my daughter Elise all weekend repeat asked how many day till school. then she try to reassure herself and say it 100 year away .mmm no it a week sorry .Lewis is very keen to get back to school .
Might be stressed with going back to school i used to got anxiety wen going back to school?
I don't know why Andy doesn't want to film but maybe you should just leave it for a bit and not keep asking him to use it. He might just decide to use it again when he feels more settled. But keeping asking him about it might make a big deal of it and make him more anxious
I think maybe this is related to Anna's mum with back to school anxiety on top of that. He has been asking to visit her and going through old things he did with her as well as going back to past things. I think maybe he associates technology going flat with never seeing it again like her and maybe it's causing anxiety
I love your vids
You mean English bank holiday I had to go to school
Hi has anything ever happen with Annaâs Mum to do with Tech ?
( Please Answer )
It's because we say things die that take batteries but you just charge them up and they're fine. Since Anna's mum died this summer they can't use that word anymore because they're trying to get Andy to understand that he can't see her anymore.
Maybe heâs worried about returning to school or heâs just looking for things to be annoyed about because heâs frustrated about going back
The thing that heâs spending more time in his bedroom, is a typical teenage thing
the headset connected thing happens when the controller is charging sometimes, it's kinda normal
keV, maybe Andy in his own mind wants a new camera. Maybe.
Dan
Is the sd card full on his camera?
He might not like the camera because the camera charger has broken that is why he is playing with that charger Because they could look similar or the camera could not be fully charged just a thought
Maybe itâs something to do with the idea of Annaâs mum and wanting her charged back up as he still has the idea of electronics being dead?? He also mentioned Nottingham which links with Annaâs mum, just a thought. Also he may have dropped the camera and may think itâs broken, or the zoom or something doesnât work?
If Andy has a thing with all his tech not fully charged. When he takes his camera out the battery drops (thatâs if his camera isnât battery powered)
I think that Andy wants to go back to Huntington but the reason that heâs fallen out with the camera is that he doesnât want to go back and the same thing happen to the camera that happened to his iPod.
Arrrh I hope he is ok
I really love your shirt
you filmed on my birthday
Do you think he could be getting anxious about going back to school..my son is getting anxious about school because he knows he's going back next week
Hope the weather didnât spoil it too much.
So here's an idea and it sounds completely crazy but what if after Andy filmed Blackpool, he feels like the camera is now for far away places? Like recording places that are close to home just doesn't appeal to him anymore.
I know I have done this before maybe It is a long shot but maybe an error happened and made a noise and that has put him off the camera due to him being scared of it happening again just leave it for a while and then introduce him to it again if that does not work I don't know what to do sorry in advance
Maybe when he remembers Huntingdon he remembers what happened to the iPad and that's caused him to have a sudden worry that's going to happen to his camera .
Amazing video
