Summary

JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 16 year old boy living in Pentre with my Mum, Dad and little brother. We have a very friendly dog too. I have autism and can’t communicate verbally. I attend school in Ysgol Ty Coch and I tend to keep myself to myself. I’m a very happy content young man and my mum describes me as being easy going and likeable. I have a wide range of interests. I like going to the beach, trampolining, McDonalds and to play parks. I tend to entertain myself in these places and always have a nice time. My mum says that as I’m getting older my interests are changing a bit and I enjoy things like bowling, going to the cinema and eating out more. I enjoy going swimming but I need help to change and get dressed at the pool. I’m able to make my choices known and sometimes use tools to communicate a little. My mum would like me to start some more age appropriate activities.
