Richard wants to go to college and study in either the field of mathematics or the fields of science/biology. He is super smart and doesn't let his autism diagnosis slow him down! He loves going on road trips up to 8 hours away, taking pictures and videos for his personal blog. He enjoys adventures and likes to go to places such as the arcade, bowling alleys, campgrounds, beaches, nature centers, and tourism destinations, such as Niagara Falls and Disney World. Being in foster care has been tough for Richard at times but he enjoys having a family who loves him and lots of people to talk to. He lives in a community that he loves with a surrounding mountain and he gets to participate in their teen club called Helping Everyone Receive Our Everyday Stories (HEROES). He loves all of the opportunities he has to go on special outings and hikes and trips.
