I have some difficulties in communicating effectively in spoken language, but my use of common phrases, cues and actions facilitate understanding. I like to follow routines and very much enjoy the outdoors, going for rides, and using my electronic gadgets. I need help with safety awareness when outside and guidance to follow social norms in public places. I also have three other health needs that need awareness.
