Overview
A little about myself: I am a teenage boy living in Swansea. I love to go out to different parks, go swimming and to bike ability. I love eating at KFC, it is my favourite food. I enjoy people interacting with me and showing interest. I am a beautiful, gentle, loving young man. I have ASD which means I am very sensory. I don’t mind crowds, but I don’t like really loud noises. I don’t have any danger awareness at all, and I need to be supervised closely at all times. I communicate through my iPad and my phone; I can type the things that I want as I don’t say many words verbally. I can dribble a ball as well as David Beckham.
A driver is required to take me out.
My mum thinks that I wouldn’t mind a male or a female to take me out.
