PMPersonal Assistant

I am a 6-year-old boy living in the Mountain Ash area. I would like a Personal assistant to take me out in the community and to support me doing the things I enjoy doing which includes going to Dragons Den or just to the local park. I would also like to go swimming and would like you to join me.

At the moment I am having tests for Autism and ADHD but that hasn’t stopped me from being me. I am a typical 6-year-old and am very verbal with what I want and don’t want. I have no road sense so would have to hold my hand when we are out in the community. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with big crowds or loud noise, but my face will tell you if I am not comfortable in a situation and I will also make you aware.
