JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 16 year old boy living in Tonypandy. I am profoundly autistic and non-verbal and use PECS to say if I am unwell. I can choose my own food via this method. I am very placid with a wicked sense of humour. I love being active and am always on the go, such as swimming, trampolining and enjoying the outdoors. My favourite pool is Cardiff International pool. Sometimes I need prompting to use the toilet but may need assistance with wiping. I enjoy playing on my iPad and travelling in the car, for me it is a safe space to help self-regulate. I can display self-injurious behaviour by biting myself, indicating that I am upset. I also make involuntary noises but at the same time I am sensitive to external noises. I would need to be distracted or taken away from the situation. I can also respond well to a firm command to help me understand the situation. PLACE OF WORK
