I am a young boy living in Swansea, I have misophonia which means certain sounds can trigger me and I can be anxious sometimes. I would like someone to support me to improve my independent skills. I have a strong interest in the Swansea football team and would like it if someone could take me to watch their away games. I would also enjoy been taken out to play sport activities such as football. Music is another interest and I enjoy listening to a wide variety of different genres. I have sensory difficulties around certain foods so I will have to decide what kind of restaurants and cafes are suitable for me.
