A little about myself:
I am a teenage boy living in Swansea. I love to go out to different parks, going swimming and to bike ability. I love eating in KFC, it is my favourite food. I love people interacting me with and showing an interest. I am a beautiful, gentle, loving young man. I have ASD which means I am very sensory. I don’t mind crowds, but I don’t like really loud noises. I don’t have any danger awareness at all, and I need to be supervised closely at all times. I communicate through my iPad and my phone, I can type in the things that I want as I don’t say many words verbally. I can dribble a ball as well as David Beckham.
A driver is required to take me out.
My mum thinks that I wouldn’t mind a male or a female to take me out.
