Summary
I am a young boy living in Morriston. I have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am non-verbal, highly self-directed, and have significant learning needs. I enjoy trampolining, sensory, watching YouTube, eating and looking around stores. I would need a fast PA as I have no sense of danger and may try and run away from the PA. I love to giggle with sensory stimulation. My behaviour can be challenging. You will be working with another PA as I will need two PAs working together.
