About me.

Hi, my name is Alf, I am 10 years old and my mam and dad are looking for a special person to take me to fun places. I have one brother Charlie who has ASD and a learning disability. Sometimes we get stressed around each other and need some quiet time apart. Due to my ASD and ADHD, I enjoy activities like swimming, walks, trips to the beach, trampolines, and gaming.

My interests include gaming, which I love and can talk about for hours. I find it hard to concentrate on activities that do not interest me. I can sometimes be impulsive and, when stressed or angry, I may shout. I need someone who can help me regulate myself, preferably with similar interests.

Advice and guidance on behaviour management strategies are available for you.
