'I was scared for his future' - BBC Africa

When Tola Andu had her first child and later learned he was autistic, she feared for his future. Now 20, her son Kevin is navigating adulthood with the support of his family. From winning a UK TikTok award for autism awareness to securing his first paid job at a local gym, Kevin’s journey has inspired thousands who follow his story online. Tola says the family is focused on helping him manage everyday life as a young adult – building confidence, independence and a sense of belonging in the world around him.
