About

A little about myself:
I am a young boy who is non-verbal, with ASD and other special needs. I am seeking 2 x personal assistants to work with me on a 2:1 basis, to support me in the community, help me experience and learn the world I am self-directed, and a car will be required to get me from A to B. I enjoy being out in nature, visit a trampoline park and indoor play areas, and going to fun places like fun fairs and Folly Farm. I am very active and always on the move. I love to jump and run around and be silly at time. I can be frustrated and upset with loud noises or not being able to do
something I’d like to do. I have Pica so extra vigilance is needed when out and about as I can be quite cheeky trying to chew/ eat things I shouldn’t.
