A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 6-year-old girl living in the Mountain Ash area. I am very active and happy and love to be out in the community and attend lots of activity groups and play centres. I have lots of hobbies including gymnastics and Swimming. I am confident in the water and especially love the slides. My favourite place to eat is McDonald’s so would like to go there when we are out.

I have been diagnosed with ASD and am pre-verbal, I can answer yes and no and am very polite. I use lots of echolalia and like to repeat phrases from my favourite TV shows. I use a mobility pushchair if I am out for a long time as I cannot walk long distances. I would need a PA to be aware that when we are out i will take things that catches my eye without paying so you would have to always be vigilant and always keep an eye on me.
