JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a young boy living at home with my Mum and siblings in the Llanrumney area of Cardiff. I am non-verbal and have a diagnosis of autism. I love being outdoors even if it’s just watching the trees blow in the wind. I love the beach, anything to do with water and nature. I enjoy jumping around and being active. I am a very happy child but I can become distressed when I can’t communicate my needs. I tend to run off if you let go of my hand & I run like Usain Bolt. (Catch me if you can). I don’t see danger & can run into oncoming traffic. But I will hold your hand when outside. I love peppa pig & Toy Story!  I’m not a fan of soft play if there full, & I don’t like loud noises.
