About Me
Hi, I am looking for people to support me in my new home in the local community in Whitfield, Dover. I am a man who experiences autism, epilepsy and sometimes I may display behaviour which can be described as challenging. I enjoy going out and about every day, but I can get anxious when I don't know what is happening, something annoys me or if I don't understand what is going on. I am lots of fun to be with and want people to work with me who care about me and are dedicated to supporting me to do every day things like eating healthily, keeping fit and learning new skills. I have my own ways of doing things, which the rest of my team will help you to learn, and if you're the right person, we'll get on great!
I love to go to my favourite parks and for long walks in the countryside and going out for cake!
I love a foot massage as it relaxes me and keeps me calm.
I cannot speak but I can tell you what I want to do by using my picture communication system. You need to learn my language, and we can then have some fun.
I must have a predictable, structured and consistent routine.
As a member of my team, you will be given full training and induction from my Team Leader and you first few shifts will be alongside her so you can get to know me and I can get to know you!
