Alex uses the pronouns “they/their” and identifies as non-binary. Due to past trauma and multiple foster placements, they have developed a lack of trust in others. Alex has weekly visits with their parents and some siblings. At the foster home, they generally prefer to spend time alone in their bedroom rather than socialize with the foster parents. If Alex feels that someone is probing for information, they tend to shut down; however, there are times when they open up and engage in extensive conversations with others. Alex has mentioned that they feel “different” from other children their age because of their unique sense of style.
