About Frank
Frank loves music and performance – playing instruments (guitar, drums and harmonica are his favourites), listening to CDs (mostly rock, indie, kpop and some classics, with Foo Fighters and Beatles being particular favourites), staging performances, going to the theatre and watching live music / buskers. He likes trips to the park (especially if there’s a zipline), beach, Alan Shearer Centre, Tim Lamb or National Trust sites (particularly Gibside) – anywhere he can ride his bike. Indoors, he loves imaginative play, Lego, play doh, stencils, stickers, reading books, creative writing, Toca Boca World and pretending to be a Youtuber. Frank struggles with crowds, sensory overload, sudden, loud noises (ear defenders provided), hand driers, dogs and strong perfumes. When stressed, he likes using his iPad / tablet to regulate (headphones provided).
