Job Description

Personal Assistant to start immediately

I am a 16 year old male who has ASD, I live in Merthyr Tydfil with my mother, grandmother and one younger sibling. I'm a verbal individual who can communicate to a high standard. When I feel like I'm sad or not confident to speak about how I feel, I do prefer to write down how I feel on a digital device like a phone, laptop, etc. It's important to me that I have a structured routine and know what to expect prior. But what always gets me relaxed is playing music through my own headphones. I do sometimes get distracted and have a good level of road safety awareness but I may need reminding. I get on really well with adults and can engage in conversations with my sense of humour, especially about music and sport.

Likes:

Listening to music Being outdoors to get fresh air and do some activities together I prefer my PA to drive me to wherever Sports, especially football, bowling, darts and Formula 1 Having a treat like something at a fast food restaurant like KFC and McDonald's at the end of the session Shopping as it helps me with independence and sometimes my anxiety Being able to have a conversation about anything we both have an interest in.

Dislikes:

Doing the same things all of the time as I prefer to have a variety of things Not being able to listen to music as that's how I get calm and relaxed Not being able to do some sports activities as sometimes, sports also gets me relaxed and calm.
