As written by him…
I love football. I support my home team Wolves and enjoy watching and going to all of the home matches. I like to be sociable and meet people, but I don’t drink much. When I’m in my bungalow, I would like to go out more and travel the country, or even the world.
I enjoy going to the cinema and watching good TV. I have a big family and I like to meet up with them, especially my cousins.
I like keeping busy, when I’m at home I enjoy going on my laptop, which I use with my nose and chin. One of my favourite hobbies is going to the Wolves matches (home and away), normally by train. I also like going out sometimes, either by car, train or bus.
My CP affects my speech, but you just have to listen carefully and always ask me to repeat myself, you won’t offend me!
I like socialising but also enjoy my own space but need carers nearby to call. I do like routine and would like my carers to remember day-to-day stuff without me having to prompt them.
