My son is an energetic boy who requires support to enjoy a variety of activities. He likes going to the park, swimming, trampolining, and in fact anything active. It is important to vary his activities so that he does not fall into too much routine. His Autism means that he needs close supervision because he can tend to run off and display aggressive behaviour when frustrated. He can communicate and feed himself (may ask for help opening packets) and would need a little support with toileting (no nappies).
