About the Employer
I am a young male with ADHD, ASD and Attachment Disorder. I also have impairment in sensory processing needs. I also have anxiety. I enjoy gaming (Fortnight), I love animals (especially horse riding), I also look after pet fish. I enjoy trampoline parks but can find them overwhelming. I require someone be able to go out with me on my own, and learn how to do the simple things like take a bus, go shopping, book cinema, be able to eat at cafes etc. I can find being out in society very stressful and overwhelming. I can be very loud but equally struggle with loud noises or crowds. Times are flexible but they need to fit around school and sensory therapy. A fully enhanced DBS is required and a car driver with full business class insurance.
