Our client is a very happy‑and‑playful 6‑year‑old male with autism and delayed speech. He requires routines to be followed, such as putting on a seat belt, and may not pick up on social cues or have danger awareness. When distressed he may run and will need to be safely caught and kept safe. Personal care is required. He enjoys cars, buses, trains, colouring, stickers, park, and soft play. He is active, so the caregiver must be able to keep up. He will be collected from school and then taken onto a club every Thursday. A driver’s licence is preferable.
