I am a 15 year old BOY and I live at home. I am AUTISTIC and still learning to use words to communicate. Due to my Autism I like routines, and find any changes or new things and places can be quite unsettling and upsetting. I am not aware of danger and can run off suddenly which is a risk. I have EPILEPSY which is currently controlled well with medication. I love the outdoors, my iPad and phone, I play rhymes and listen to stories.
