A little about myself:
I’m 8 years old, and I have Autism (ASD) and a Learning Disability (LD). I’m also on the pathway for ADHD. I don’t use words to talk, but I show you what I need through my actions. I’m strong, busy, full of energy, and I love being outside! I need someone to help me explore the world safely. I don’t always understand danger, so I need an adult who can keep me safe when we’re out and about.
