JOB DESCRIPTION
Part-time Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 24 year old person living in the Coed-Y-Cwm, Pontypridd area who identifies as non-binary. Due to my diagnosis of Autism I can be very quiet upon meeting new people. However, if we have a common interest I can become more comfortable. I can become quite anxious at times and like to plan ahead to help with my anxieties. I use a cane and have tics, my tics can get bad in shops or places where people may be whistling, and this will set me off.
I have many interests and things I like to do for example I absolutely love animals. I have various pets at home who I adore and like to go to petting zoos, aquariums and other places that may have animals. I also really enjoy going to the beach, I can lose track of time and spend hours there as I enjoy it so much. You may have to remind me to eat and drink as I can forget when I am occupied. I very much like video games as well and enjoy going to Comic Con. I also enjoy crafting.
I am more than happy to stay at home and play games. I don’t always want to go out and socialise so on these days staying at home might just be what I need.
