About Me 
 
I am a lively fun loving person and because of my short attention span I can be quite exhausting and demanding at times. 
I love loud music and listening to my ipod. Although I like to watch DVDs, I also enjoy being outdoors and or to go swimming. My family are very important to me and I love to see them regularly. I am able to feed and dress myself, although you may need to help me put my t-shirt on the right way round. I require assistance with my personal care and need to be reminded to wash hands, brush teeth or put clothes in the laundry basket instead of on the floor. Although I am willing to assist with household chores, you will need to help me to do them correctly and be responsible for keeping my house clean & tidy.
 
I have a good sense of humour, although I often laugh at others misfortune. I have very limited speech but my understanding is reasonable. I do get very frustrated if I cannot understand things or things are not explained clearly. I have obsessional behaviours around my favourite toys and activities but I am hoping that you can help me broaden my interests.
