A year ago this week Andy had been refusing school for 14 months due to his autism and anxiety and we were running out of options. Over the course of 8 days in February half term, we committed to getting him back to school, but knew if we succeeded I'd have to leave my job as a teacher to allow us to continue the good work. This video is a compilation of the original 8 daily vlogs, with some additional commentary looking back a year on.

I love the fact you gave up teaching for Andy, Just puts a smile on my face
No need to thank us for being along for the ride mate. We’ve enjoyed being with you. It’s been a pleasure to watch the quality of life you Anna andy and the girls have increase over the last 14 months
mattquiney8 is
You walked past my old school. But seriously you and Anna can be an inspiration for all parents out there.
Thank goodness you have entered Andy's life, it has made a huge difference. Good job.
Nostalgic hearing a "No school"
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.
It takes hard work, consistency, and then even more hard work. I know this all too well! Bravo Kev and Anna!!!
Thank you for all the hard work you put in across 3 channels, it's crazy how much things change in a year
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. 💙💙
Absolutely fantastic. What a brilliant transition from last year. Great to see Andy so happy and care free when going to school, wonderful stuff 😁
can't believe his progress i only found you last week and i went to the beginning of your vlogs and watched them all, so incredible.
Well done Andy for sticking a year of school and Kev and Anna you both have done amazing jobs getting him there and not giving in. This is my favourite channel 🙂
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.
Thanks
my daughter refuses to get the school bus but loves school but you and your partner must tear your hair out at times but have to smile and get on with it you do a great job bud keep it up
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.
You and your family have done, and are doing great. Keep it up!
Thanks
here for you guys always, an inspiration to us all
Im so happy Andy and the whole family, this was a amazing vlog. Thank you Kev for making this video.
My brother has autism and it can be very hard to handle and watching you makes me understand more I know the difficulty and your making amazing progress I just wanted you to know that I can relate to your struggles
Good job👍👍👍👍☺☺
Love those big smiles on Anna!
Love you videos! Keep them coming Kevin!
Very proud of Andy and your progress of getting him to school! :)
I remember these vlogs! He's come such a long way!

Well done Andy and to you guys doing an awesome job xx
Sounds to me like he's not the only one didnt want to go to school :)
Congrats on 30k!
Love your vlog.
Thanks
Amazing work guys.
Btw Kev.. I dunno why but I think you look healthier with the shorter beard.
It certainly makes my face look thinner. I’m planning on trimming it back about a week in to the new diet so everyone thinks I’ve lost 10 pounds.
What ever happened to the hired TA ?
Tom Williams Productions Andy didn’t like her
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.
What do you do now? I'm in a very similar situation...
i get a taxi to collage and in cornwall council will provide an individual taxi for students who struggle with to many people it might be worth looking in to that
Kev looks much fit back then xD
I was! I’d been on a diet for about 6 weeks and hadn’t been sat in my garage for 6 months!
Could you try and get Andy to eat waffles again
I cant realy cope on my own. l cant cope on my own.
Andrew Morton you ok?
With my math brain, Andy started refusing school in December 2015?
Hi
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.
Well done Andy
Great vlog
