My name is Mason, I'm a happy and very energetic 11 year old, and I'm looking for a Personal Assistant to support me to get out and about to do some of my favourite activities, as well as visit places that I love exploring. This includes going swimming, trips to the zoo and walks in parks and forest areas.

You will initially spend time with my Mum and family, learning more about me and my needs, as I'm non-verbal, so you will need to know how I communicate. Having some knowledge of Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder and Pica is beneficial for working with me.
