About the Employer

I have high-functioning Autism, ADHD and Anxiety and I live on my own. I already have a PA who helps me manage my flat and household bills. I am looking for someone to take me out to a specific community group on a Friday evening and to take me to something else on a different day. I need a patient person with a good sense of humour who will encourage me to join in but also help me realise when I am speaking inappropriately. I struggle with Anxiety and mild paranoia and can become very obsessed with a particular thought or problem. I take medication to help control my symptoms and sometimes I struggle to cope with the side effects of these medications.
