To provide support for active teenage boy

Kings Lynn, PE30

My teenage son has autism, ADHD and can be anxious. Although he is active and ‘Full on’ he also has a condition which can cause him to tire easily and suffer from leg cramps, therefore although he is able to walk short distances it is advisable to take his wheelchair out as a back up if walking any distance. It is important that his PA helps him feel safe and is able to calm him when necessary. He is otherwise an engaging young man who loves bowling, and may also like his PA to take him swimming, to the cinema, and to take part in outdoor activities.
