Introduction
I am a 9 year-old autistic boy who is also non-verbal. I live with my great granny, as I grow bigger I am more adventurous and often want to explore the world. This can put me at risk at times and I may need physical guidance to keep me safe. My granny and my mum would both like support to take me out. This is difficult for my
granny because I am getting big and strong and difficult for my mum because I have 5-year-old twin brothers. I would also like trips out on my own with you. My interests are swimming, Thomas the tank engine and enjoying time on my laptop and Kindle. I also enjoy going to the park, walks at a local nature reserves, and walking up the Tor.
