About me
Hi, my name is Alf, I am 10 years old, and my parents are looking for a special person to take me to fun places. I have a brother, Charlie, who has ASD and a learning disability. Sometimes we get stressed around each other and need some quiet time apart. Due to my ASD and ADHD, I enjoy activities such as swimming, walks, trips to the beach, trampolines, and gaming.
My interests include gaming, which I love and can talk about for hours. I find it hard to concentrate on activities that do not interest me. I can sometimes be impulsive and, when stressed or angry, may shout. I need someone who can help me regulate myself, preferably someone with similar interests.
Advice and guidance on behaviour management strategies are available for the successful candidate.
