Adian is a very happy and energetic 14-year-old boy whose life battery never runs out, as he is always in a joyful mood. Adian enjoys watching TV especially if the show or movie is animal themed, with his favorite movies being Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon. When it comes to meals, he loves to eat just about anything, however topping the favorite snack list is – green apples!
Adian is currently enrolled in high school and has fun ridding the bus daily, as it gives him an opportunity to interact & socialize with his friends before heading to class, where he is continuing to develop his nonverbal communications skills.
Although Adian does not have any pets of his own, he really loves all animals, so if his future family has a puppy, which he can care for and call his own, that would be such a plus.

-Trying new foods,
-Watching movies,
