Background
Deborah and Peter are parents of an autistic son aged 22. For more than 10 years, they have homeschooled their son, Sean. They find it tiring to homeschool Sean. They also find it difficult to find activities that could engage Sean. Most of the programs are never long-term. Sean has a flair for Art. He has created numerous fascinating works of art and paintings. The couple is looking for volunteers to engage Sean in meaningful activities who have the potential to become a friend to Sean. The family lives at Tan Kah Kee. The family has decided to move to California by end January 2023
