A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am 35 years, non-binary and currently living in the Barry area, but I am looking to relocate to Cardiff (Canton). I enjoy photography, nature, food and coffee. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, ME and asthma. I like to remain as independent as possible and find it easier to follow routines and specific ways of doing things. Sometimes I can get fixated on details, become overwhelmed and lose track of time. I am looking for a personal assistant to support me in the community and in my home, I find it difficult to read non-verbal cues, so I will need someone who is clear, direct and open with their communication.
