I’m a young transgender lady living in Ringmer with my very supportive family. I have autism and ADHD, dyspraxia, dissociate amnesia, a speech impediment and sometimes selective mutism which can affect my behaviour. I can experience anxiety and depression due to my neurodiversity.
I am currently attending college and would require support on the days I am not studying, currently this is Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday but this may change when I finish college in June. I am unsure as to what the next step for me is and will require support in finding this through support in interviews or putting myself out there to find opportunities?
Times of support would generally be late morning (I’m not a morning person) and anytime PM.
I am looking for a special someone to build a supportive, encouraging relationship with.
