Summary
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 26-year-old man living in the Aberdare area. I have learning difficulties and epilepsy, but I am an independent individual with a positive and outgoing personality.
I have a wide range of interests, particularly football, with a strong focus on local leagues, which I regularly attend during both the week and at weekends. I am also a keen fan of boxing, especially Bare Knuckle, and I enjoy listening to a variety of music.
Due to my learning difficulties, I sometimes need things to be explained in a bit more detail to ensure I fully understand. I have Absence Seizures, which typically last only a couple of seconds. I am aware when a seizure occurs, and I am pleased to say I have not experienced one for over a year.
Although I live independently, I do require some support with certain aspects of daily life. This includes help with weekly tasks such as shopping, managing money and payments due to difficulties with understanding finances, and encouragement to maintain a more active exercise routine.
I also have some understanding of road safety, but I am not yet fully confident or independent in this area and will require some guidance and support.
