A Little About My Self

The challenges I face daily tend to cause me to become frustrated and impatient which makes me angry and I can tend to hit out. I am very active and my energy level is high. I enjoy using the trampoline and have just started going swimming, although when I am out I can get overwhelmed in busy places so my parents plan quieter times or quieter places to take me.
