A little about myself:

I am a young boy living in Swansea. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down Syndrome, and Learning Difficulties (LD). I am a happy-go-lucky boy. I am very friendly and no trouble, but I do get frustrated sometimes 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 about, 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. I am looking for a PA to get to know me and help me have some fun.
