Summary
I am a 14 year old boy and live with my Mum, Dad and older Sister. I have high functioning Autism, ADHD and anxiety. I enjoy socialising, chatting, theme parks and other exciting activities, playing on my xbox, shopping, technology, scootering, riding my bike, walking and exploring new places. I’m looking for someone who is fun to be with, and will join in rides, roller coasters and slides with me on a day out. I want someone who will chat with me about technology but also is able to be quiet when I am feeling overwhelmed. I am a friendly, kind and caring boy but sometimes I can get anxious about new things and can sometimes display challenging behaviour. I can get distracted and not always notice dangerous things around me.
