He has a great sense of humour and a cheeky laugh to go with it and can be very affectionate, asking for head massages and scratches;

he loves sensory interaction.

Josh* loves spending time on his own watching old game shows. Sometimes he brings those game shows to life by playing them with his support team. His favourite is strictly come dancing – "Its nice to see you, to see you nice!" When he does decide to go out, his favourite activity is to go to the local shop to buy sausage rolls and race back with his support staff and of course he has to always win!
