About me

I am a 9-year-old boy with special needs. I am non-verbal and cannot communicate in any way. I also have very limited understanding. I love being out and about in my buggy and my favourite shops are The Range, Asda and B&M. I sometimes like to get out of my buggy—but my behaviour can be unpredictable as I may start to run around. I am very fast at running and can be quite difficult to pick up. I also love sensory things and soft play, although I am not a big fan of loud crowds.
