Austin

Introducing our buddy Austin, a creative and energetic young preteen who loves drawing, building blocks, kickball, reading, and origami. Austin is not afraid to ask for help when needed and is receptive to redirection. He particularly enjoys ramen noodles and spaghetti. Although Austin struggles with depression and anxiety, he is a charismatic young man who is far from shy. Austin would thrive in a two-parent family that offers a consistent routine, structure, and discipline. Ideally, he should be the youngest in the home, as he does not do well with younger children but is comfortable with peers his age or older. Austin's family should be understanding of his mental health challenges and be prepared to support him in managing his emotions and ongoing treatment. With a loving and stable environment, Austin will have the opportunity to grow and flourish as a young adult.
