About the Employer
I am mum to a teenage boy with autism and a learning disability. He is mainly non-verbal, but he can say some words to communicate. He has a repetitive speech disorder which can lead to frustration, and his behaviour can become challenging when he is feeling anxious and frustrated. I am looking for a PA to take my son out twice a week to enjoy leisure activities within the local area. This support will give me a break from my caring role.
