I am looking for someone to help support my 26 year old autistic son. He is fun and wants to do things all the time. He likes swimming, trampolining, model railways, Legoland and places similar. He also enjoys spending time making things with wood in a log cabin in the end of the garden. He suffers with anxiety so will take some time to get used to you. A lot of patience is needed as he can get upset and angry and can on occasions hit people. He likes to feel he is in charge of places where he goes. He is very talkative and does have a sense of humour.
