A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 33 year old man living in the Sully area with my parents, I am quite shy but when I get to know you I can be very chatty. I am looking for a PA of a similar age to share my interests with me. I would like to go Bowling or Mini golf when we are out and maybe stop off for a coffee or brunch.
I enjoy playing on my Nintendo wii and listening to all types of music when I am home.
Since covid I have become isolated so I would like to get back into a routine and to go out maybe twice per week with a PA. I don’t like big crowds of people and not always aware of my surroundings so will need extra support there too.
I have focal Epilepsy and Learning Difficulties and can communicate ok but sometimes I do get a bit confused with my conversation. I am conscious when having a seizure and will often know if I am going to have one, but will need your full attention and support when we are out as sometimes I try to hide the fact that I am having a seizure.
