Andrew is now 21 and although autistic with severe learning difficulties and many physical problems is generally a very happy young man. He loves walking in the countryside and swimming. He lives in a residential home with three other young autistic males but sees his parents every weekend. He is well liked in his house as although it takes him some time to get to know people, once he knows and trusts them, he is very loving. He is non aggressive towards others but will try and bang his head when he is in pain. Orpington, Kent, ENGLAND
