Summary
I am a teenage boy living in Swansea. I am a lovely boy with a funny sense of humour. I have Autism and learning difficulties, I also suffer with anxiety. I am verbal but very quiet and shy. I mainly communicate by nodding or shaking my head. I will also move to head from side to side which indicates 'maybe'. I am looking for a PA who would accompany me in the community. I would need supervision when out and about as I am not aware of road safety or directions. I do not like buses. I do not have any hobbies or interests as such but I enjoy going out for food e.g McDonald's, for pizza or ice cream. I also like the cinema and the beach. I like Mr Bean.
