Yes. Although it is typically done in a group (to mirror the last super) I believe you "can" do it on your own if you'd like or have no other option. Communion is the remembrance that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. Shed his blood (wine/juice) and gave his body (the bread) so you can live.

Is it wrong for a person give themselves communion in the privacy of their home?

Communion is not simply 'ordinary' food and juice (wine). The priest consecrates--blesses--these as being the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. But it is also a person and public "communion" between ourselves and Christ, and between us and other believers. So a person who takes Communion in the privacy of their home risks removing the sacredness of the Sacrament, and losing out on the reverent but celebration of 'communion'.

Traditionally only communicants (those receiving communion) should process and present themselves to the Priest or Eucharistic Minister.

If a priest is distributing communion they may say a quick blessing on the person. This started when parents did not want to leave young children in the pews and so brought them forward. Most churches prefer that only communicants process as this speeds up communion.
