and autism.

I am a little comedian who loves to joke around and have lots of fun and I can be
a little bit cheeky. My favourite thing to do is go to the cinema and have a
McDonalds. I also like to visit the hobby craft shop because I am into arts and
crafts.

I love anything to do with the Titanic and I like animals particularly giraffes
and police dogs.

I require the use of my wheelchair which I have fantastic control over and can
zoom around in it quite easily.

reliable, and caring person who I can have lots of fun with.
