JOB DESCRIPTION

SOMETHING ABOUT ME

I am a 13 year old boy living with my mum and sister in Maerdy. I have high functioning Autism. I do not like raised voices and too many people. Everything goes in my mouth. I have some communication problems, but I am starting to learn to put sentences together.  I can have tantrums and can bite, scram and scream. When I am like this, a PA needs to remain calm and patient with me.  I do not have any sense of danger and can run off. I am not toilet trained as of yet.
