Could you be the warm, friendly, pro-active PA that I’m looking for to join my team? Having recently left full time college I would like my PA to help me become more independent by offering me support but, more importantly, by becoming a friend and companion.
I have Autism so I can sometimes find day to day life a little challenging and new and different situations can be a little confusing. I also have epilepsy but this certainly doesn’t impact my day-to-day life in any way and certainly doesn’t define me as a person – most people don’t even know and it doesn’t stop me doing anything! Having my own PA who enjoys spending time with me, supporting and guiding me when needed, will really help me to overcome any difficulties I might have.
I really enjoy swimming, walking, going to the cinema, listening to music and singing but I am sure that here are lots of other things that I would also enjoy if given the opportunity. I really want to be busy and be able to enjoy life in my community like any other young person.
