Job Description:
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 20-year-old young man living in the Ferndale area with my mum and our dog. I enjoy playing video games, especially first-person shooter games on PlayStation. I also like arcade games and watching gamer videos on YouTube. I have Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance, which can sometimes lead to challenging behaviour.
I prefer spending time alone, and my mum says I don’t see the need for others' company. Occasionally, I can feel anxious, and when that happens, I tend to dust the house. I have developed some social skills and enjoy visiting places like Costa Coffee, Dinosaur Park in Cardiff, and exploring new activities on my own terms.
I have a limited sense of danger, so you may need to monitor my movements, especially when crossing roads, as I can be unpredictable or inattentive.
I fear bugs that fly, which can trigger anxiety, requiring reassurance or moving away from the area.
