Over the years, Ditch has made many YouTube channels.
==Personal life==
Andrew Ditch graduated from Stanley G. Falk School,https://www.facebook.com/andrew.ditch.50/ a special needs school in Buffalo, New York.https://www.falkschool.com/page/who-we-are When Andrew was 20 years old, he was hit by a car on his way to work at McDonald's. His mother claims that he looked up stereotypically autistic traits and pretended to have the disorder himself. However, it's possible that Andy suffers from Munchausen syndrome, a mental disorder that causes someone to act out symptoms of an illness. To this day, Andrew's father speculates on whether or not Andrew suffered from brain damage due to the car accident.
===Tech support===
Andrew used to run a website, called "abestpcs", which was dedicated to tech support in his area.https://web.archive.org/web/20181119233300/https://www.abestpcs.com/ He also made technology-related videos before he started faking autism.https://youtube.com/watch?v=rXN1SGcrb3o
===Weather forecasts===
When Andrew was younger, he ran his own Blogspot page where he forecasted the weather in America, but mainly focused on the weather in Buffalo, New York.
==Controversies==
===Recording private information===
The main reason why people know so much about Andrew Ditch is because he records most of his encounters with other people himself. He is unaware that recording private conversations or taking pictures of medical documents is potentially illegal, as he merely wants to record "proof" that he's being abused by his parents and other authority figures.
===Faking autism===
Andrew has stated countless times that he has autism, when in actuality, he has schizoaffective disorder.
However, some of Andrew's claims have blatant logical fallacies, including on his Blogspot page, where he claims that he started talking when he was 5 years old, only to immediately say that he couldn't talk until he was 14 due to his autism. Andrew allegedly has sensory issues, as he was in tears when his brother played the trombone or if anyone makes sudden loud noises, yet he was spotted at multiple rock concerts.
===False abuse claims===
Andrew has constantly claimed that his family is abusing him. This, coupled with his infantile tone of voice, made the phrase "you're busin' [sic] me" become frequently uttered whenever people bring him up.
In reality, Andrew is the one abusing his family.
===Domestic abuse===
====Poisoning his family====
In November 2019, Andrew faced three felony charges after he attempted to poison his family's coffee with Epsom salts and laxatives, causing them to suffer from nausea, abdominal pain and severe diarrhea. This was not the first time Andrew did this, as he spiked his father's coffee with antifreeze when he was much younger.
Andrew also dumped his cranberry juice in the dog food, but thankfully, none of the dogs were known to have eaten it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t45QYn1nDmE
====Oil diffuser incident====
On March 13, 2020, Andrew was using an oil diffuser for his "coping skills".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wur4CHhbMKk This was bothering his elderly mother, who was on oxygen at the time, as well as his dogs. Andrew's parents finally reported him to the police, who told him to turn off the oil diffuser, but Andrew still refused, saying that the request wasn't a "court order". He also claimed he had a "legal right" to shine a light in people's faces, and he even called Crisis Services as he was getting arrested.
====Refusing to help====
Andrew has refused to help his elderly parents with basic tasks around the house. Most notably, he refused to help his mother get up after she had fallen on multiple occasions. Andrew's father has heart issues and is rarely seen without a back brace, while his mother is on oxygen and has been hospitalized several times due to breathing problems.
====Projecting onto others====
More often than not, Andrew has projected his actions and statements onto his family, an example of which occured on November 4, 2023, when Andrew had a meltdown in which he ripped up some of his diapers and said that it was his dad who actually ripped them up.
===Coprophilia===
Andrew is well-known for being a coprophiliac and having a diaper fetish, being referred to as "the Poopsquatch" online. He has made numerous videos dedicated to diapers, and he even wanted to sign legal documents to force his parents to change his diapers. He has also smeared feces on a room in the B-Cozy motel,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7gvu4rD3-Y and has told viewers that he will eat poop once he reaches a million subscribers. He finds the smell of poop disgusting, but he likes how it feels.
===Falsely calling emergency hotlines===
Andrew has called emergency hotlines, such as 911 and crisis services, dozens of times, claiming that his parents are abusing him and that he needs help.
===Assaulting staff===
Andrew has spat on hospital staff who were "holding him against his will", as he believes that he has a "right to leave".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HERPf86k6Yc He also refuses to cooperate with police unless he's "court ordered" to. Andrew has also labelled people who don't agree with him or help him out the way he wants them to as "abusing them."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2MBCbHQp9Y
===False pedophilia accusations===
Andrew has accused the Leaping Lemur, a YouTuber who discusses people such as Andrew, of being a pedophile, with little to no evidence to back up his claim.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnvm5dHlW4c
===Defending sexual predators===
Andrew has defended Daniel Larson, Cyraxx, and Chris Chan, sympathizing with them due to their disabilities.https://youtube.com/watch?v=_q2g3cjYXdc&t=15m49s
==Trivia==
*According to his weather blog, Andrew has an IQ of 150, but some medical documents confirm that his IQ is actually 80.
