We need a sitter in our home for an active 12-year old boy, from 11:30AM til about 3PM, Friday, March 20. Child is autistic with ADHD. He's more like a 7 or 8 year old. You will play inside or out in the yard with him. He loves games and hates losing. He likes making up new games. He's sociable and funny, and enjoys new people. While his intelligence is near normal, he has a verbal and auditory processing delay. He needs 5-10 seconds pause to hear what you said and be able to respond. If someone says too many things at once, he will only hear the last portion. He may struggle to communicate his needs. He has difficulty explaining the rules or gameplay to a game he knows, and can get frustrated when someone doesn't understand him. He responds better to questions with simple answer. No screen time, please.
