Job Description:
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 12-year-old boy living with my family in the area of Glyncoch. I am non-verbal, have Autism, and Pica. Pica is an eating disorder where a person eats things not usually considered food.
I love going to school and enjoy it, but getting out in the community for social activities is challenging. Sometimes, when I don’t get what I want, I may self-harm by hitting myself or screaming.
My behavior during the night can be difficult for my mother and siblings. Sometimes, I keep them awake when I become upset.
