Temp Personal Assistant to cover maternity

GENERAL INFORMATION

I’m a 31 year old woman living in Porth. At the moment I feel trapped in my own home because I find it difficult to go out on my own – it feels like I cannot function properly unless there is someone with me to reassure and guide me.

I have a diagnosis of Asperger’s, depression and audio processing disorder. The latter means it takes me a while to process words and meanings. I get anxious over what appears to be insignificant things, but to me it is a whole lot more and effects my day-to-day ability to cope. When things become overly stressful it feels like my brain is shutting down and I may have an absence episode. To you it might appear that I am fully capable and well enough to manage my life but the truth is I need support for even the most basic things.

I want to be able to go out and do ‘everyday’ type things like shopping, catching the bus to visit my mom, day trips to places of interest for example to St Fagan’s. I enjoy the cinema and would like to go regularly.
