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. Im a verbal individual who can communicate to a high standard. When I feel like Im 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. Its 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.
