She has had difficulty with learning sequences of tasks, like washing her hands. The brother is active and enjoys sensory stimulation. He really likes to make animal noises. Both their FNs and MNs are Spanish, but the sister's FN has many different usages. The brother's MN is the Spanish form of a Biblical name.

He has had some problems in school due to being easily distracted and forgetful, except for his biology lessons, which he greatly enjoys. He wants to be a magician when he grows up, and would probably be good at it, since he is daring and charming. His first name was trendy in England/Wales in 2014 (
