This becomes more easy to identify as and when someone gets to know him. My son is extremely vulnerable and energetic, so will require close supervision 1-1 at all times. He does not require any personal care and manages this effectively himself. He does not have ability to identify risk to himself or others so will require clear instruction and supervision. He is very sociable with others and enjoys being around his peers, so activities that allow him to burn of energy and the outdoors is extremely important. He loves most activities associated to his age, particularly swimming, being outdoors, going to parks as he is quite sociable with others He enjoys eating out and having 1-1 attention.
