Meet Jerry—who also goes by MJ—a kind and thoughtful young person with a quiet charm. While he may be shy at first, he warms up with time and feels most at ease when he’s built trust and connection. Jerry is great at expressing his likes, dislikes, and needs, and he thrives in environments where he feels understood and supported.
Creative and curious, Jerry loves video games that let him build and design, and he enjoys spending time on his tablet watching videos and exploring new things. He recently joined the school band and is learning to play the trumpet—a new skill he’s proud of. Outdoors, he enjoys riding bikes, shooting hoops, and spending time at the waterpark during the summer. When it comes to food, you can win him over with wings, cheeseburgers, or chicken nuggets.
Jerry would thrive in a patient, supportive family who will walk with him into adulthood. He does best with caregivers who are actively involved in his education and who can help him continue to grow socially and emotionally. With consistency, encouragement, and love, Jerry has so much joy to bring to the right forever family.
