He currently resides with his mum and sibling and has dogs.  The individual has a diagnosis of Non-verbal Autism, chronic bowel/kidney disease with complications, Reflux issues and high blood pressure, he has a diagnosis of PICA and due to this always requires full supervision as he will eat non-food items and can harm himself by biting himself, he also has no awareness of danger.  The young person enjoys a variety of sensory stimulating activities including trampolining, swimming and trips to the local parks that have spinning play apparatus. He uses a specialist buggy or harness for trips outside as he struggles to walk far, and for his own safety, he has a specialist helmet that he wears intermittently. The young person loves music and dance which is also used to support with his meltdowns when they arise, and he loves visiting places that have horses as he has a real love of them.
