JOB DESCRIPTION
Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 20 year old young man who lives in the Ferndale area with my mum and our dog. I enjoy playing video games, especially first person shooter games on the Playstation. I also like playing arcade games and I like watching gamer videos on Youtube.
I like to spend a lot of time alone and mum said I don’t really see the need for the company of others. On occasion, I can be anxious and when I am, I tend to dust the house. I have developed my social skills, I enjoy going to Costa coffee, Dinosaur park in Cardiff and I like explore new things on my own terms.
I have little sense of danger, you may need to be aware of my movements if we are crossing the road as I can be unpredictable or not concentrate.
I do not like any bugs that fly, this is a big fear of mine and this can trigger my anxiety. In this situation, I need reassurance or moving away from the area. I have Autism and Pathological Demand Avoidance and can display some quite challenging behaviour.
