Oisín is an 11 year old child on the autism spectrum. Despite being non-verbal, Oisín’s method of
communication comes through a variety of touch related sensory expressions. This includes his
ability to adapt to the environment he is in by feeling the texture of his surroundings as well as
demonstrate love by sharing his favourite foods such as Cheerios. Oisín holds an incredibly special relationship with his mother. He trusts that she will be there as an aide when he feels overwhelmed and is happy going to her once he has fully processed his emotions. Despite this need for his mother at times, Oisín is quite independent and is keen to let people into his world. His favourite things are cheerios, cartoons (which he watches on his tablet), block colours and patterns and baths. Oisín’s stimming tendencies include tapping his head, moaning, shrieking and crying.
