"Adam is a 16 year old man with Aspergers. Between the ages of 12 - 14 he was excluded from a number of schools because of behavioural issues related to his Aspergers. At 14 he moved to a new school which changed his life. He had been with Jump Space for about a year then. When he joined us he as a tempremental, moody and angry young person, who couldn`t express himself. The slightest thing could upset him and he would lose the plot becoming aggresive. Over the last two years he has come a long way and in 2011 he became a young leader at Jump Space. His progress has been amazing. He now works with young children with disabilities some facing the same challenges he has. He is a trusted member of the team and whilst he still finds some situations difficult and is extremely literal, he is doing an amazing job and is not phased by anything. "
