A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 14-year-old boy living in the Abercynon area. I have ASD, plus I am awaiting diagnosis of ADHD and Tourette’s. I do not like raised voices or being told ‘no’ a lot. I am physically able and verbal. I would not be able to be left unattended at any point, as I have limited safety awareness and anxiety issues. I have some sensory issues with clothing, noises and smells. I like gaming and would like help to make videos for Youtube and Instagram.
