About Me
I am a 9yearold boy who is nonverbal and nonmobile but I express myself through facial expressions and the noises I make. I have extensive care needs and require support and supervision 24 hours a day. I am visually impaired so keeping me informed about whats happening around me is very importantit helps me feel safe and reduces the risk of me becoming startled which can sometimes trigger a seizure.
I live at home with my mommy and daddy. Im an only child and am surrounded by a loving supportive family.
When I was a baby I experienced infantile spasms and was diagnosed with West 2020 I was further diagnosed with Proud Syndrome a rare neurological condition characterised by severe intellectual disability agenesis of the corpus callosum and seizures. I experience pain from dystonia which may be linked to headaches caused by my earlier infantile September 2025 I was fitted with a Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) because medication alone wasnt enough to control my seizures. I always carry my magnet with methis is very important to manage my seizures safely. When I have a seizure I need someone to stay with me speak gently and reassuringly and make sure that I am safe throughout. I need full assistance with continence care including the use of singleuse catheters and incontinence pads.
Sometimes I can feel anxious so I benefit from emotional supporttalking to me softly describing what you can see and telling me about different textures helps me feel calm and included. I receive support and respite from Hope House Childrens Hospice. I no longer attend school because it was felt that it wasnt safe for me and my parents are working to arrange home schooling which will help me stay healthy and allow me to learn and enjoy activities in the comfort of my own home.
