About Me

I am a woman in my 50s living in Coventry, with autism, Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome (which affects my mobility), and a mild/moderate learning disability. I may display complex behaviours of concern, including self-injury and scratching. I experience high anxiety levels and need reassurance from my support team.

It is important to me that my support team understands autism, is patient, and provides consistent encouragement.

I am very sensitive to noise and prefer a calm, quiet environment. Sensory activities like hand massage, listening to music, watching films, and arts and crafts are important to me. I enjoy hair and nails grooming, Harry Potter, and value my large family and practicing Muslim faith, which are very important to me.
