Summary
I am looking for a PA to support me to enjoy all of the opportunities that life has to offer. My main interests are collecting and building Lego, Marvel and DC characters and movies, and video games but I also enjoy going to the gym and bowling. I’m also interested in volunteering and take part in other groups that are involved with conservation projects. I have cats and live at home with my family. I’m looking for someone that can help me to develop my skills and maximise my independence and this person should be understanding of the challenges that being autistic can bring. I can offer 6 hours per week
