A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 10 year old boy living in Llanharan with my mum and older brother. I have a diagnosis of ASD, which means that I have no sense of danger and am always full of energy. When out, I always wear a child-safety harness to prevent me darting into traffic. As a result family outings can be difficult to manage for my mum. I love being outdoors, particularly places like the park where I can run free. I also like walking, climbing, playing in/with water, swimming, trucks and trains.
