JOB DESCRIPTION
FEMALE Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 9 year old girl living with my family in Pontyclun. My Mam describes me as witty with a wicked sense of humour. I have an obsession with cake and I memorise which shops I can go to so I can buy cakes. This is something I like to build into my routine. I have quite a strong mind and prefer to stick to structure. I have ASD and I am non-verbal, but I can verbalise single words. I can sometimes have meltdowns where I drop down to the floor when I am very overwhelmed. I can bite my arm or hand and hit my head if my routine isn’t what I expected. Sometimes I need some space to calm down, and being outdoors helps me self-regulate. I love keeping busy and I have a teddy called Snowball which I take everywhere with me. I am very loving and like to give ‘squeezes’ and I may need reassuring to be gentle.
