A little about myself:
I am a young man living just outside Swansea. I am autistic. I am looking for a PA to accompany me to go out. I love to use my computer or iPad. I do not communicate well but I will make it clear what I require. I enjoy going out for a pub lunch, going to an adventure park and trampolining. I will need my PA to be calm as I can sometimes get anxious – you will be advised what to do in this situation. I have no sense of danger so I will need my PA to keep me close especially around cars.
