A little about myself:
I am a six‑year‑old child living in Swansea. I am currently being assessed for ASD and ADHD. I am highly energetic and thrive in open, outdoor spaces where I can run, climb trees, and explore water play. I am very sociable and enjoy meeting new people. Having others join in with my interests makes activities more enjoyable for me.
I am drawn to physical play and ball games, including football, basketball, and playing with a tennis ball. I am naturally self‑directed and often like to take the lead during activities. I also love being out on my scooter and visiting the park. Riding my bike is one of my favourite things to do, and I would really benefit from more opportunities to go on bike rides in the community.
