Summary

I am young lady who is severely autistic I live in Killay. l used to have someone that would take me out on a Friday and Saturday for a few hours, l have not had anyone since covid struck. I am quite easy going when things are going my way. If l do get anxious it is normally for a reason, l will start biting my fingers but will not harm anyone. Carers need to get to know me and my ways. I always have my Walkman and a bag of CDs so I can blot things out, these are very important to me.
I enjoy going for drives in the car and going out for lunch. I don’t enjoy walking too much and am very scared of dogs. I like swimming and cinema if it’s a film l like.
I would like a nice calm person who is very patient and can get to know me and won’t get embarrassed. Someone that can be on my wavelength and can get to know me like a friend. I am mobile but will need to link arms to cross a road and for reassurance.

I enjoy doing ‘shows’ for birthdays as l have a big family, two older brothers and two younger sisters. I also have 6 nieces and 3 nephews which is busy sometimes.

I am a happy girl that loves to talk about my CDs whichever I’m doing. Queen, Pet shop boys, Phil Collins. I love Disney films plus Mary Poppins, Home Alone and a lot of favourite ones.

Female preferred.
