He has Asperger’s; I know he needed to overcome so much to communicate with people, including having eye contact. I can’t imagine how difficult his life is, but he is very very brave, and he studies hard and works hard. I really respect him.  I don’t really have one, but I’d probably say my dad.

I prefer the countryside in Nottingham. I feel it is pretty nice and it makes me feel relaxed.
