About Braydon
Braydon, who prefers to go by Scott, is a creative teen who enjoys thinking outside the box. He gravitates toward Legos, computer games, and hands-on projects that let him build and experiment. Video games give him room to problem-solve and imagine. He also likes drawing, reading, board games, and trying new foods. Sushi is a favorite, and he has a soft spot for axolotls.
Scott connects best during one-on-one time. He enjoys playing games with adults or sitting down to read together. At school, he participates and shows genuine interest in learning. He especially enjoys technology-related subjects and takes pride in doing well. He describes himself as brave, strong, smart, and funny. The adults in his life see a young person who is thoughtful and capable. One shared, “Scott is kind, creative, and bright. He loves to explore and try new things.”
Scott helps at home with tasks like cleaning shared spaces, though he needs reminders with daily tasks and keeping his room organized. When he becomes focused on a craft or game, he can lose track of time. He can also struggle when he feels upset or does not get his way, and he benefits from calm responses and clear expectations. He has formed positive relationships with staff and peers in his current placement and views them as an important part of his circle while he waits for a permanent family.
Scott would do best with an experienced mom and dad who understand trauma and behavioral needs. He needs patience, structure, and consistent one-on-one attention. A family connected to a dependable support network will be important. He would thrive as the only child in the home. A yard to play in and pets would be a welcome addition. It would also benefit Scott to be placed with a family of a similar cultural background. Ongoing connections with birth relatives should be supported.
Scott hopes for a family who will play games, share meals, and travel together. With steady guidance and encouragement, he has the creativity and drive to build a future he can be proud of.
