A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 15-year-old boy living in Llantwit Fardre with my mum, stepdad and our friendly family dog. I enjoy a range of activities, particularly anything involving cars and motorbikes.

I love attending car shows and have photographic memory for vehicle registration numbers. In my free time, I also enjoy bowling, gaming and visiting arcades, especially to play racing games.

I am a Cardiff City supporter and occasionally attend matches with my gran.

I have a diagnosis of autism and can sometimes experience challenges with my behaviour and social interactions.
