Driver with own vehicle essential
I have two children, a son age 11 and a daughter age 8. Both have some developmental trauma and attachment issues which cause emotional and behavioural difficulties. My son is also autistic and has ADHD. He is at a specialist school and needs support to manage his emotions and social situations. He enjoys using technology to play games (e.g. Roblox), drawing and playing with things such as playdoh or Lego. He often needs some encouragement and support to go out but does enjoy himself once out. My youngest has ADHD and is a very sociable, friendly little girl who loves spending time outside and playing with her baby dolls but also needs support to manage her emotions.
