I am a lively 19-year-old lady living in Eastbourne with my very supportive family.
I have ASD and can experiences melt downs and verbal outbursts when I become overwhelmed. I would like a calm and confident PA to support me with social input, accompanying me to town for coffee, going shopping etc to build my confidence and engage and to socialise outside of my family home. I may not always want to go out and would be happy for you to support me at home and to ensure there are no aggressive interactions with my siblings. I am happy to sit in my room with you.
I would prefer the support in the afternoons as this is easier for me.
If you have experience of ASD and feel you could support me, please do apply, I would love to meet you.
