Hi, I’m L, I’m 15 years old and I live with my aunt and older sister. I love going to Buttercups especially when my best friend stays too.

I love dancing and listening to music. I enjoy spinning and I may take your hand and spin around as this relaxes me. I love being outdoors, visiting the park, running climbing and going on adventures. I also love baking and decorating cakes with my friends.

I have no road safety awareness and may run ahead on an outing if I become excited. You should hold my hand and give me clear instructions before we go anywhere. I have hearing loss, I don’t like wearing my hearing aid, you should encourage me to always wear my hearing aid, you should ensure that you communicate with me face to face.
