About Me

I am an energetic and lively 8-year-old girl living in the Aberdare area with my family. I have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 15q11.2 microdeletion (a rare genetic condition). I also have Pica, a learning disability, and significant delays in communication and social skills.

I am non-verbal and doubly incontinent. At times, I can become frustrated and may present with behaviours such as head banging. I have no awareness of danger and require constant supervision to ensure my safety and emotional regulation.

I love being outdoors and enjoy people-watching. Some of my favourite places include the turbine farm and Aberdare Country Park. I can feel anxious when visiting new places, but I would really benefit from spending time in the community away from my family, enjoying activities that I love.
