To support me to access activities in the community, prompt me to remember things, and reassure me when I start to feel anxious or overwhelmed. It is important that you are able to advocate for me when I need you to but also know when to encourage me to speak for myself when I need to. I need someone who can encourage me to make positive, healthy choices.
I will work closely with you and my family and my other PAs who already support me.
I am a 30-year-old man living in Merthyr Tydfil with my family. I have Autism. I am an outgoing and fairly independent person, whose main requirements are support, reassurance and prompting to remember tasks or things like change from paying for something. I have a very witty personality and would need someone who could match that. A car owner who is willing to use it for work.
