Personal Assistant Treharris 14 PH

I am a young lady with Autism and OCD. I live in the Merthyr Vale area with my Mum and younger brother. I’m looking for a personal assistant for 5 hours per week spread over 2 days.  I enjoy my own company so spend a lot of time in my room gaming. I find social interaction challenging which affects my sensory sensitivities and comfort levels in social settings. I am able to articulate my views and wishes. I would really like for someone to take me out in the community to allow me to socialise whilst navigating overwhelming sensory loud and noisy environments. 

If I am out of my comfort zone, I can get angry and will need support from someone who understands who I am and how I’m feeling 

Likes: Gaming, Dr Who, animals, museums, art and watching horror films
