A little about myself:
I am a 10-year-old boy living in Swansea. I’m full of energy, curiosity, and smiles. I love being outside climbing, exploring enclosed parks, and going on adventures. I’m sensory-seeking and always noticing the world around me. I have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), global developmental delay (GDD), communication delay, and Pica. I do not speak yet, but I am great at showing you what I need by leading you to it. I need a Personal Assistant who can take me to exciting places where I can climb, play, and explore safely. You will need to be alert and ready to swoop in if I start eating something I should not, because I sometimes do. It is important that you drive to take me to the places I enjoy.
