Jun-Wei loves chips and lollies. Staff who work at the home actively involve Jun-Wei and the other residents in planning the menu. They try to plan healthy meals with the residents that take into account their food preferences as well as favourite recipes and any special diets they need.

Jun-Wei can peel vegetables and make a sandwich without help. Jun-Wei has difficulty understanding the different denominations of money or how much things cost. However, he likes to have money in his pocket to spend at the shops. He can move around independently but cannot catch public transport or walk to places without being accompanied. Sometimes he wanders out of the house or away from his group, as he thinks he can find his way back and is easily distracted.

Jun-Wei also suffers from asthma that is sometimes brought on by exercise or stress, and eczema that is sometimes brought on by stress and heat. He has puffers and steroid creams, prescribed by his doctor, that he must be reminded to use.

Those who know Jun-Wei well have learnt to understand him when he is talks but strangers or those he doesn’t know well find him difficult to understand. This is partly due to him mumbling when he feels shy.

Jun-Wei may hug and stroke people he feels comfortable with or when he is very happy.
