About me

I am a happy, bright and energetic 6-year-old little boy with autism and Sensory Processing Disorder. I live with my parents, younger sibling and our cat. Although I can sometimes be unpredictable with challenging behaviour, I’m very affectionate and I love cuddles with the people I know and trust. I am looking for a warm, patient and resilient Personal Assistant to help support my needs alongside my parents. Please note, my parents vape but we are a non-smoking and non-drinking household.

• To build trust, initially at my home
