I am a young boy living in Swansea. I have ASD, Down Syndrome and Learning difficulties . I am a happy go lucky boy. I am very friendly. I am no trouble. I get frustrated as I struggle to communicate. I enjoy playing with my tablet and watching You tube videos. I also enjoy playing with my toys. Once I have had enough, I will stop. I can get frustrated and throw my toys, but this will mean that I need personal care. I do not like dogs as they can trigger me. I will need to avoid noisy places. Some things will depend on my mood.
