A Little About Myself

I am a 17 year old male living in the Aberdare area with a very good sense of humour. I like all types of shopping and especially going through the tills. When out I would like to stop off for a bite to eat in McDonald’s or just maybe a café. I have lots of hobbies and interests including arts and crafts, and I am known for collecting things for example pens (I have hundreds). I enjoy watching Wednesday Adams at the moment and love listening to all types of music on my iPad as well as playing games. I have a little therapy dog that I adore.

I have a heart murmur, autism and ADHD. I am very verbal and I will tell you what I want and tell you if I don’t want to do anything. My behaviour will fluctuate and I can be slightly young for my age at times, and can’t walk long distances.
