Summary
I am a happy and funny 6-year-old girl, and I live with my mummy and older sister. I love going to the park and to the beach. I have been diagnosed with ASD, Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), Scurvy with Arthropathy, Global Developmental Delay and I am orally and gastrostomy fed. I have high sensory needs – I put a lot of objects in my mouth, and I can also suddenly run off if I see something that catches my eye. My verbal communication is very limited, my mummy and I would like for someone to spend time with me at home getting to know me before we go out anywhere. I am very busy and sensory seeking, my safety awareness is very limited, so I need to be closely supervised at all times. My PA will eventually take me out to access activities in the local community. It is important for my PA to know that my mobility is limited, and I can get tired after a while.
