I'm autistic and I have a Gregg's sausage roll for breakfast sometime toast with proper butter The next sentence is for people who don't have autism And as a person with autism, YOU CAN'T FORCE AUTISTIC PEOPLE/CHILDREN TO EAT
I'm 35 and autistic. His diet sounds very similar to mine as a kid. My diet now is much better so it will hopefully happen for him too. I still have a select preference of food choices and eat the same thing most days but I do eat fruits and veggies now. I would drink chocolate milk out of a bottle when I was probably 4 or 5 years old as well. People need to understand that it's not something you can control. The doctors always told my mom, as long as she is eating something, let her eat it.
I totally get that you guys have such a balancing act to get Andy to eat and drink. You are doing an excellent job in my opinion. You are giving Andy what he needs to stay alive while also giving him opportunities to try new food and drink. I am in fact really impressed and amazed at how Andy has "rules" inside his head for his eating and drinking. The way different foods are only acceptable to him in certain situations. That facinates me. I think double thumbs up to everyone in your family including Dave.
The whole family is awesome they do so much and are doing everythiny they can to help andy. Instead of judging them maybe go through and watch alot of other videos they have done in regards to andy. Keep doing what you are doing you all only have andys best interests at heart x
Yeah the doc was spot on with avoiding a feeding tube I've got alot of experience working with kids with feeding tubes it's never ending anxiety they pull them out you gotta quickly find it pop it back it in and rush to the ER, they pick at it it gets infected and irritated gotta make an appointment, say goodbye to swimming pools and slip n slides being on the stomach/being summersed in water for long periods of time cause the tube to pop out and oh look your rushing to the ER again the supplement is milk forfeited with vitamins and minerals that would be a nightmare for Andy you'd have to restrict him to a chair at least 3 or 4 time a day to bowl feed and then hook him up to a machine for night feedings where if he tosses and turns too much the machine beeps and you have to reset it if he gets up to pee you have to pause it or he could easily fiddle with the machine and turn it off while you guys are sleeping so much can go wrong and sedation would surely traumatize him so....soda and chips it is
I have autism. I had serious autism at about 4 years ago. And now it is very hidden and unseen to most people. How I've done that is not biological or by vacs or diet. It's mental. I started watching loads and loads of gaming videos, making me to start playing a game on my laptop (Minecraft) and kind of got addicted. Along with the addiction, as I was watching people at the same time, I began wanting to play with people. I started with teamspeak and moved onto discord a year later, this increased my social mental health leading me to forget about certain things like what I'm picky about eating and about doing and also helped my communication skills. Since then I wanted to build my own pc since I game on a laptop computer. I was so focused on pcs, I decided to start working and I wouldn't apply for anywhere else other than pcworld. I got a temp placement for Christmas and I earned enough for a gaming pc. Since then I have bought parts, built the pc and it still stands to this day. Along with working, I wanted to start working somewhere enjoyable. I had 2 choices, a pc shop and a theme park (I had also grown a fixation on rollercoasters since I was 6) I now work in thorpe park and has improved my shyness, confidence and communication. Now my fixation on certain subjects have moved from food to entertainment, computers, and games. I don't know if any of this would work for your boy. I know it worked for me but it's something you can think about
My most severely impacted brother eats on Macaroni and cheese, noodles with butter, Sun chips in the orange bag, cheese balls, peanut butter sandwiches without the crust, French fries without any brown spots, vanilla ice cream, milk, milk with strawberry powder, iced cookies/biscuits, Sprite, water and ketchup sandwiches. That’s it. You are not alone. No meat. No veg. No chocolate. No fruit. He takes meds and is overweight. Still.....it’s better than him not eating or drinking. He has Sprite to take his meds. I refuse to drink anything out of a can. It has to be in a glass. I don’t like sweets. We have 6 boys (5 on the spectrum including me) and we drive my mom nuts. One of my brothers will only eat hot dog buns with ketchup for his school lunch. Only fast food little ketchup packets. Tomato is a vegetable. At home he’s better. Andy is Andy. Makes sense to me. Btw, you don’t have to justify your parenting. That’s what my mom tells people.
Hi kev Anna, I'm a newbie sub over the last few months and absolutely luv your channel Never miss a vlog. My daughters bas high functioning autism so not as severe as Andy but even my daughter has sensory issues to food. People dont realise how bloody hard it is to raise a child with food issues.. Good on you for highlighting this so ppl dont judge quickly.. 👏👏❤
Omg. It's like listening to you talk about my son. I know the war all parents have with their kids and food. My autistic son will only drink milk and he has gone over 18 hours without a drink cos he left his favourite bottle in school.
When I was a kid we ate what we were given or we ate nothing at all. Have you tried that with andy. He would get hungry and eat eventually. No child has ever starved itself to death
Same here. It's really odd how there isn't a single autistic kid in Africa that's a picky eater. When kids are hungry, like hungry for real, they will eat.
There are so many close-minded people in this comment section who just can't put themselves in the place of Kevin and Anna, and Andy for that matter. 17:15 can address so many of the judgemental comments I'm seeing on this video.
That diet sounds absolutely terrible and dangerous, but you made it very clear how hard it is to change him. I just hope it's just a temporal solution and you can find out a way to improve it.
Don’t make him brush his teeth straight after drinking the Dr Pepper!!! The drink is really acidic and it can weaken the enamel, and then brushing it can make it even worse. If you can make him brush his teeth about and hour after then thats better
I truly understand why Andy's diet at but least he is eating and putting on weight which a plus side to you guy's 😊 but you and Anna are wonderful parents to all your children
My son only eats custard/noodles/cheesy pasta. And that's about every meal in that order. He's not autistic but has traits. It's so hard because i get asked all the time have you not tried..... like I don't have any common sense. Last year he started fainting and finally convinced him to have a calorie drink every day now too. It's a difficult thing
I don’t know if you’ve heard about ARFID it’s an eating disorder but isn’t related to body image, it’s something that I have dealt with most of my life where I only eat certain foods that I’m happy with (usually pizza/pasta for dinner) I basically have a fear of trying new foods even though I want to. Lucky I’m 17 and healthy as I eat a big enough range of food but I still can’t go to a restaurant and order something I’ll eat.
@@zaramolineaux9083 thanks. He probably does have something like that. He has chronic asthma and when he was a baby he choked all the time so I think that's where is started
all these “experts” in the comments thinking they can magically fix his eating habits🙄 at least watch the vlogs before thinking they haven’t tried something.
I have son with autism so I understand about limited eating and yes it can seem expensive but if that's all he's gonna eat it's worth extra few pounds a week to keep from loseing trust in what your giving him after all you seem to have plenty money for expensive gadgets yet moan about buying extra bread n butter Anna your doing amazing job
they don’t have plenty money for gadgets they’re not rich. having to buy extra bread and butter constantly would be annoying and they’re allowed to express their feelings without judgement.
You guys are awesome parents- it’s clear you are super on top of Andy’s diet. Not sure if u have the SOS feeding therapy protocol where you are - but you may want to look into it - Always great to watch you guys 🙂
Your doing amazing, I think unless these people with all these hate comments are in your shoes they won’t ever understand. I think your an inspiration I love watching your videos. My sons autistic and has speech and development delay and it’s really refreshing to see and hear you experience similar problems and dilemmas that I do!
@@mycomments4215 I have autism. I've had to learn about it so that I could condense myself into a lesser autism projection of myself. And I am greatful for Autism because it is a gift to have reduced chances of cancer, a higher metabolic rate and faster healing than average.

What would happen if you were forced to starve for 3 days, only allowed water, then given a bowl of quinoa salad with tons of veggies. But the catch is you're only allowed that salad or starve another 3 days. What would you do in that scenario?
i personally wouldn't have made this channel hes your son your both doing an amazing job u can see hes healthy and happy other people need to just keep opinions out until they actually bother to learn about Andy
It’s because I have noticed that shop own brands put in malt barley extract and it just makes it Taste weird. I’m autistic on a special diet and can’t have shop own brand cola. It has to be Diet Coke or Coke Zero. So I don’t blame him on not liking shop own brand cola.
My son would only snack on skips crisps and when I took him to his 2 year check up with health visitors I was scolded because he shouldn’t be eating those give him fruits or something 🙄 I said you try giving him a fruit and see what happens? Hope your a good catch cos he will chuck it at you 🤣 also said as long as he eats he can have what he bloody well wants. Also got moaned at for him drinking Ribena. There is only a few things he won’t eat now that he used to eat other than that he’s a pig 🤣 even polishes off his siblings left overs lol
My son is 4 years old and he's has GDD and is non verbal. All he will eat is fish fingers and wotsits and will only drink fruit shoots or coke . We feel bad about this so it's nice to see someone else is in the same situation. We do suspect that our son has autism but his peadiatrision swerves away from this and says he's too young for a autism test. Further more she decided to discharge him the other day after only seeing him twice in 2 years. Where thinking of going private. The NHS is all well and good but is too under staffed and underfunded to deal with children who could possibly be on the spectrum. Love your channle kev keep up thr brilliant work.

Does Andy go without his vitamin supplement when he’s not at school? For example in the summer holidays does he go the whole holiday without it? (Sorry if you answer this in the video I’m asking part way through but if I didn’t ask now I would forget lol)
Yes because Andy has certain foods for certain places and the thing for the suplentment is at school (Anna and Kev try to give it to him with another food but most the time it doesn't work)
Hello I have got these new toys online eBay and Amazon that go in your bath I have asberjers x they are called grow capsules or amazing capsules and u can get animal ones train ones and they go in your bath and turn into toys to play with they are so fun and though Andy would love them to
h4rrison Ll0yd I would say do it except I know coming from myself that different brands of chips/crisps however you want to say it... they taste very different from each other and sometimes smell and look different... so that won't work cause he will look and notice them
And as for the butter anything full of fat and goodness and helpful for weight gain you should stick to you know exactly what your doing with his diet never feel u need to explain his diet alot of the comments are from school age children who sadly are uneducated
As a Autism dad myself i can say you pick your battles. I totally get why lol sometimes if you push to much you make the issue worse cause a meltdown then he get fixated. if you just let it slide he prob just decide he likes milk more next month at least thats how my son operates. Your not the only one my boy has decided recently he cant go to bed without his shoes on lol
I'm curious to see if you can try to introduce him to a different style of breakable chocolate. I love chocolate too, Andy, but I have to cut it back for myself.
maybe try the old swapsie of the own brand of coke with the real thing - as you were saying that he doesnt mind too much about the variety of fizzy drinks as long as its the right colour etc???
🤦♂️tbh I like you Kevin and I respect what you do but in a way I think your lying to yourself with the diet subject, if he doesn’t eat healthily just admit it and say how he can improve it and I know that’s hard for you to understand as you feel you’ve improved a lot. But for outsiders it’s hard to understand how you can say that’s a good diet because it’s not. Hope your all good anyway

@@Fintastically agreed, it would probably put him off crisps altogether as well as he wouldn't trust them with a sealed bag of crisps.
h4rrison Ll0yd I would say do it except I know coming from myself that different brands of chips/crisps however you want to say it... they taste very different from each other and sometimes smell and look different... so that won't work cause he will look and notice them
h4rrison Ll0yd quite a lot of effort tbf
Trying to trick him would be a terrible idea.. he needs to trust his parents not think they will trick him into eating stuff
Have you thought about he just trying plain custod at home?
And as for the butter anything full of fat and goodness and helpful for weight gain you should stick to you know exactly what your doing with his diet never feel u need to explain his diet alot of the comments are from school age children who sadly are uneducated
As a Autism dad myself i can say you pick your battles. I totally get why lol sometimes if you push to much you make the issue worse cause a meltdown then he get fixated. if you just let it slide he prob just decide he likes milk more next month at least thats how my son operates. Your not the only one my boy has decided recently he cant go to bed without his shoes on lol
Can you take all Andy needs to Disney I.e. food
Im quite new and this was a great vid thanks
To be fair I think supermarket own brand coke tastes vile so I can't blame Andy for refusing it 😁
@The chapman family would it be possible to die off brand lemonade
Why?
Loading gamez because he doesn’t like different coloured pop
Yes because he wouldn’t drink it.
Hi The Chapman Family
I completely understand my daughter has a very limited diet💙🧩🧩🧩
Could you put his vitamin supplement in his butter like you do his supplement for bedtime
Would have preferred a normal vlog but oh well
Dry your eyes

@@matthewdelaney3919 i like how you were preaching for people to be nice earlier and now you're going around insulting people.
Does he still eat fish fingers
Yes kev
*reads title*
"cause dr pepper is the best stuff to walk the earth"
Find it kinda funny how he live in market deeping in Peterborough
I don’t usually eat breakfast I only drink Coca-Cola for breakfast
I agree with Andy! Supermarket brand coke sucks! Personally i think it tastes like soap 🤷♂️😂
Hi
❤️
I'm curious to see if you can try to introduce him to a different style of breakable chocolate. I love chocolate too, Andy, but I have to cut it back for myself.
Hey I love Dr Pepper and sometimes I have for my breakfast
maybe try the old swapsie of the own brand of coke with the real thing - as you were saying that he doesnt mind too much about the variety of fizzy drinks as long as its the right colour etc???
He also said andy can taste the differnce
@@suestanway2954 where in the video did he say that
It says in that video they have tried and now he wont eat them in the packet he has to open the packet and put them on the plate
@@suestanway2954 yes but my comment was about the coke
It says about the drink it says they have tried and that andy didnt like it
Great video for the new people.
If he likes chocolate will he eat penguin biscuits. @TheChapmanFamily
🤦♂️tbh I like you Kevin and I respect what you do but in a way I think your lying to yourself with the diet subject, if he doesn’t eat healthily just admit it and say how he can improve it and I know that’s hard for you to understand as you feel you’ve improved a lot. But for outsiders it’s hard to understand how you can say that’s a good diet because it’s not. Hope your all good anyway
