I am a 37 year old man with ASD. I live on my own in a private renting in the centre of Carmarthen Town.
When I’m not involved in working with Carmarthenshire People First and Barod; I like to visit family who are based in Pembrokeshire as well as visiting my former Shared Lives carers. I also like going for walks, doing photography, gaming, reading, listening to music, shopping, travelling, and watching films.
I have started attending live music sessions as well as comic and gaming conventions post Covid, but in most cases I am still somewhat anxious about the admin side (buying tickets, travel, accommodation)
When I get agitated; I become more introverted/withdrawn, non-verbal, highly anxious, and evasive, and will avoid asking for help and support as I feel like I will get into trouble.
