Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF: I am a 23-year-old man living in the Llantrisant area. I am a friendly person when you get to know me. I have lots of interests which include going to the beach and visiting castles as I love to take pictures, so I will have my camera with me when we go out. I drive my own car and would like to try new places. I would like a Personal Assistant to go shopping with me and to assist me with meal planning and making my own meals. I love Michael Jackson and support Liverpool football club, so I will often speak about them. I have autism, so I am not good with large crowds or too much noise and may run off if I get overwhelmed, so the assistant will need to be aware of that when we are out.
