Jack is a funny, highly intelligent and warm hearted teenager who experiences daily challenges due to his ASD, ADHD and anxiety diagnosis. He is highly verbal and often enjoys in depth conversations. He can at times become highly anxious and require support to manage his concerns. He has no physical disabilities. Essentially, Jack requires help with daily organisation, meal preparation and outdoor activities. He attends school via correspondence and may require clarification on tasks, assistance with task organisation and want to discuss ideas with you. Jack is a fussy eater who is working towards independence in making his own meals, therefore meal preparation is required as well as teaching Jack how to cook his own food. Daily exercise is critical for Jack, however he often resists this and so a supportive approach is best here. Light household cleaning will be required such as cleaning dishes from the day, putting out a load of washing and ensuring Jack's room is tidy.
