Yes exactly! Kevin you could do one vlog that is shorter more casual like gaming or any other of your hobbies or just saying how your weeks been, and one video that you put a bit more time and effort to. See what feels good for you and post less frequent if starts to feel too stressful. Different people work in different paces and in the beginning theres a lot to process as you are still learning.
I don’t have ACC, but I fell off a cliff and my brain injury was mostly to the corpus callosum. This is really cool to learn about, because finally some things are starting to make sense! Like the fact I can have a long conversation with someone and I remember every detail of what we talked about, but I can’t remember their name! 😅
Don't worry Kevin, my first night at college I was so emotional I cried when I saw my parents drive away. For the first time, I was alone in the world and that's scary. But, then I made friends and got a routine and ended up loving it :) Now I have 2 kids in college and their experience was pretty similar to mine
I wish I was close enough with my family to feel that way. I was so happy to be moving out & have been home maybe like 5 times since 2019. Still working and paying for my associates degree 4 years later lol
My 4yo has a thin corpus collosum. Medical advice was - eh, we don't know how it will impact her. Thank you for showing me that full and enjoyable lives are absolutely possible. Thank you
I'm glad you found this video. Also four year olds are my favorite age to work with (I work in childcare for a living). Your daughter is going to thrive. ❤️
Kevin, I kept a toy in my pocket every day in school to help me focus and relieve stress. Now I sell collectible toys as my profession. Best decision I ever made. My favorite youtubers just show their toy collections and teach about collectable items. Very cool.
Hey Kevin. Seizures absolutely SUCK. I hate waking up and being sore and not even remembering why. The onset is super scary as well, when your face locks up.
Kevin i think you're gonna do amazing. Like chris said the only thing that might get in your way is focus but that can be worked on. I have focus issues with my disabilities as well. I'm also prone to seizures not for the same reason but i can still have them at any time and it's scary. But we are all here to support you and help you be the best you can be. And don't worry if you can't upload every single day even pewdiepie takes a few days off sometimes and that's ok.I've been told by many people including doctors that i show signs of adhd so i think soon I'm gonna get tested to see if i have it. Because it would explain alot. I can switch from 1 subject to the next to the next ect ect and do it for hours i think it's annoying i hate it but nothing i can do really. That's why some of my so called friends abandoned me. They didn't want to deal with that. But anyways I'm bipolar with bpd borderline personality disorder,i also have anxiety/panic disorder,signs of adhd,ptsd,ocd ect and it's hard sometimes cuz people want to make fun of me or say mean things laugh or stare or just flat out not want anything to do with me and it hurts but i try to forget about it and deal with it best i can.I'm 44 but have the mind of a 16 yr old at times i also love video games singing(i love music it's one of my fav things to do besides play video games. But this is long enough just wanted to say I support you in whatever you decide to do. I'm proud of you for doing this and with the help of chris you're gonna go far i can feel it. You could go far without him as well but with him guiding you it's a great experience and you're gonna learn alot and have fun doing it. I wish you nothing but success in everything you do. Take it slow 1 day at a time and the possibilities are endless. Kind of reminds me of my son whos 20 now(don't know why but it does)again sorry for the long comment. Throwing all the love and support your way. Oh p.s. oscar is pretty cool i like his hoodie. Also to clarify what i said about having the mind of a 16 yr old being 44 it's part of my disability that people constantly make fun of me for but i deal with it the best way i can. Can't wait to see all the things life has to offer you. And watching your channel blossom and change is going to be an awesome experience and journey to go on with you. Everything said in this comment is said out of kindness support and just rooting for ya. You got this we believe in you. And chris is a wonderful guy so happy he's helping you do this👍👍
Heather, I know how hard it is to pretend that it doesn’t hurt when people behave like jerks, but it does hurt! I guess you have figured out some strategies on how to deal with it. I just try to be kind in spite of their behavior and turn to music to keep me happy! I mean, listen to music as I don’t have any musical skills😊
I'm just some random commenter, but I believe in you Kevin. I know alot of other people here on the web do too. Chris helping you set up this channel is an amazing gesture, and it could genuinely change your life if you stick with it. Please don't give up on this dream and make sure to pace yourself. Work smart. Make sure the videos are something you actually want to put time into. YOU'VE GOT THIS!
Wow. As a RN, I’m completely amazed and happy at the same time. Kevin, you come across very intelligent and a lovely person. Here’s to you and your journey in this life.
Kevin your a Super Hero Your amazing and I believe in you. I became disabled after joining the US Army it’s so good to see a young man like you take charge of your life and Kevin I’ve seen tough people in my 63 yrs but my Good Sir you are Army Tough. Im now a subscriber and I will watch every chance I can. Now Kevin might I suggest that you leave the hot stuff alone stick to oysters! There are some historical places near you and you could share those. Im in Colorado I live in Pueblo which is in the desert but I’m surrounded by mountains. Get busy make more video’s
Great to hear Kevin talking himself about his disability. He shows everyone that having disability doesn't mean life is not good. I love seeing him so strong and determined to live his life the way he wants👍💗. Great job Kevin ! You're awesome !!!👌👏💗
I just found out after 37 years that i have this as well. Ive lived a normal life. I had trouble in school but nothing to crazy. I am kind of emotionless at times and not very humorous and dont get things right away. Thank you for putting these videos out there. I found out about these cause i was overworking my brain at work and it was causing sezuirs.
SUGGESTION KEVIN I watch a lot of RU-vid because I have a disability where I'm in bed all the time and that sucks because I'm exhausted and I can't go outside it's just really hard. As I was watching this video I wanted to share something with you that I think will really make your videos much better and more engaging for the viewer. When Chris was asking you questions your answers were very short. And I think what you need to do is elaborate more, don't think you're boring people you're not boring people. People like to know a lot about what it feels like to be you the things that you go through because of your disability not just saying oh I had a seizure and it sucks. That's not enough information to create interest. So when you're going to share something never think it's too small or unimportant, and get into the details of it tell as much as you can about what it's like to do a certain activity with your disability let's say. or if you're involved in something beside talking about your disability get into talking about it really get into it. That to me makes an interesting content creator. So that's my suggestion don't keep your answers short keep them long and interesting by sharing as much as you can from your personal point of view. I hope you get a chance to read this and I'm really excited to see where you can take your Channel.
Thank you Kevin for speaking about disability not really recognized. I too have Angenis of the corpus collasum. The part of brain is extremely thin. It hard someday or harder then others days. It affects my core my eyes my ears my heart and feet. I go through day to day with struggle. I struggle in school a lot. Mainly I have a normal life but with hiccups
Kevin, have fun and enjoy the ride. Be nice to others. Be authentic. Whenever possible find ways to help others the same way your dear teacher is helping you.
My brother has this. He has had trouble doing some things like learning to drive and balancing his expenses. But outside of that he has had an amazing life. He's an incredible artist. Like his drawings look like what you find in a museum. He's very positive, upbeat and generally very happy.
So glad that you are mentoring this entertaining fellow, Chris! It's always interesting to take a peak into the lives of others. It breaks down barriers, and makes us more understanding and sympathetic. 💙👍
I have seizures at age 12 and all through school and you are right, that are scary and I was 22 before I stopped having them. But could not do what I wanted, but ended up in the medical field as an assistant so focus was necessary and now I really liked it. I learned to do things under a doctors supervision and then passed the test for a license. Now I am retired, 71 years old still. Take my seizure medication and live by myself. I enjoy your videos. Can’t wait to see more when you can do them.
Hi Kevin, I hope you are getting great pointers from Chris. He’s an awesome person, and has done so much for people with all sorts of disabilities. I understand you get tired. Many of us taking certain medications do this too. I’m wondering how you feel about planning to do your videos when you know you’ll feel more awake? I love the idea of seeing your trailer. This will be so cool. Do you know if your school may be willing to let you interview those teaching, and students who are interested in being on camera? I know many of us are not aware of these colleges that teach people with disabilities. You have so much to show, and teach us. I will be watching
The story about Oscar was really cool. It was very interesting Kevin 👍 And I liked you talking about your experience of the first night in college and about going to the arcade
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend Kevin. I just wanted to reassure you that it does get easier to cope with as time passes, and although you will always think of and miss your friend, you will be able to think of them and remember happy memories instead of feeling sad. You’re doing a fantastic job getting this channel up and running, finding your voice as a youtuber and helping the world to understand you and you disability. So excited to see where this journey takes you!! 💗👏🏼😄
Hi Kevin! Your eye contact with the camera has already improved amazingly! You have nice eyes, a great smile, and a good sense of humor. I’m excited about your new channel and look forward to seeing your videos.
My favorite line : what do you think of this stuffed animal? "It's definitely high quality". 😂 When I saw it I was like that's the best looking thing anyone's won from an arcade
Kevin, I loved how when you were passing such important information as the seizures you looked straight into the camera, that really emphasised your point. You are clearly a very loving man and I hope you are proud to be you!
I agree with Chris in that it's very important to post regularly. One of the reasons why it's important to post regularly is so that your subscribers will remember to check in with you, and they'll think "I haven't seen Kevin in a while! Let me go check his channel!" if RU-vid didn't let them know that you uploaded. (That happens sometimes!) Sometimes RU-vidrs get overwhelmed when they have to upload regularly. It's OK to take breaks! One strategy that you can also use is to record some videos, but don't post them all at once. If you space it out, you'll have time to rest but also still have content to post on your RU-vid channel at the same time. 😉 Best of wishes, Kevin!
Kevin! Great job on the channel so far. Keep up the good work. Don't burn yourself out with to many videos, take your time and keep on creating. You will do well for yourself! Chris is a pretty amazing guy and its nice to see him help you get a good start. Looking forward to more videos.
You have such a sweet heart, Kevin. Thank you for helping us to understand what it’s like for you. We’re all different, and that’s what makes our lives interesting. ❤
I like how Oscar feels real to you but you also know Mr Chris is making the voice. I guess that would be like knowing how a magic trick works but still being able to see the illusion.
I think you're going to do great with your channel. Make videos about stuff that your passionate about. I know what it's like growing up with a rare disease. Because I have 3. By talking about the condition you have with your viewers on your channel you are educating them in the process. You are a strong young man. Never let your condition stop you from being who you want to be. You are surrounded by wonderful people in your life from family and friends who are always there for you and cheering you on. Keep smiling.
Maybe you could make a video on what to do if someone around you has a seizure or what you would want people to do if they were with you when you have one. I think it’s one of those things most of us don’t think about until it happens.
Hey kevin!, just wanted to say you’re not alone!. I have the same disorder and I’ve never been so proud to be me!!. I’m glad to know I’m not alone!! :)
Hi, I'm a 32 year old guy, and I have what you have, but the part of the cc that I have is in the front. I surprise doctors who are familiar with the condition often because I don't seem like I have a disability. I've also heard different forms of "I never thought of it that way before" on a regular basis, to the point where it's really funny to me when people say that to me. I did have seizures, but not the shaking kind. I fortunately grew out of them around first grade, and I haven't had them in decades. First grade was also when I found out about my disorder to begin with. It was discovered when I had an MRI because I had a concussion. I started talking, and walking, later than what most people would think was normal, but I've never needed speech therapy. That was a bit of a double-edged sword when I was growing up, because my mom and I found out that most special education programs offered by the public school system were tied to the person needing speech therapy, so I couldn't get much, if anything. I'd be interested in talking with you about our similarities and differences, if you're interested.
Kevin, you are a delightful young man and I’m really happy you started this channel. And by the way, high fives to your parents. They have obviously done a wonderful job of guiding you.
Keep doing whatever makes you happy, my friend! I support ya!!! Thanks for being brave enough to talk about your life. A lot of people aren't as open as you, and I think its wonderful that you are! :)
Don't be fooled Kevin, you seem to have an excellent memory. You're humble, and empathetic. Just take the time you need to figure things out. Whatever you're doing there Chris, it's working, as usual. Love you guys, waiting for the next drop!
Love this so much!! It’s great getting an insight into Kevin’s world!! We’re getting spoiled getting to see you every day-feel free to post weekly and keep us wanting…
I just wanna say how amazing a person you are and that you doing your best like this is an inspiration for others with disabilities that they can accomplish anything! I hope you achieve your dreams and goals too!!
I think you are going to do amazing Kev. Be yourself, take your time and like Chris said... focus. Can't wait to see the many amazing adventures you are going to take us on! Cheers buddy 👊🧡👍
Super excited for the content!!! Totally do not feel pressured to post every week! As a college student myself, GOSH I get exhausted from just school and homework, but filming/ editing/ posting a video every week is a ton! I got my notifications on for the channel so whenever you post I’ll know!
Congrats on your channel Kevin! You are a great young man and I know you're gonna do some good things in your life. You already have almost 19,000 subs, in just a couple days!! How awesome 👏🎉🙂
Kevin your amazing young man to take on something that's going to change your life I say u must have a strong mind knowing u have some of it missing from it to do something that some people find hard with no disability to do what problems u will have to cope with so i take my hat off to u and i hope the channel does amazingly.X
Hi Kevin, I just found this video and just finished watching it. I thought it was really interesting what you had to say about your disability, and what you explained about it. Thanks for sharing that with us. Also, I enjoyed watching you interact with the puppet, and watching Chris do the voice for it. I think you’re going to do really well with what you’re doing on your channel, as well as I think you’ll do really well going through your life, and you have my support. Again, thanks for sharing what you did in this video, and I look forward to checking out more of what you post here.
