Who you will be Supporting
Hi! I am a young man with autism and moderate learning difficulties, living alone in a purpose-built home. I appreciate routine and predictability. I find it challenging when I cannot go out and do activities I enjoy. I love going out in my vehicle daily on a pre-planned route, which my support workers are required to drive. I enjoy music, BBC radio, colouring activities, and going out in my van. My mother is very important to me and involved in my support and wellbeing. My favorite food is pasta. Support workers need to be dedicated, resilient, creative, flexible, and able to think outside the box to help me reach my full potential. Having been institutionalized most of my life, I now enjoy active and enjoyable days with the support of SeeAbility's dedicated Support Workers.
