About the Employer

I am a young non-verbal male. I am looking for some social support on a Sunday to go out. I need someone who is vigilant as I have ADHD and Autism and I cannot be left alone as I will run off to explore things on my own. I need to have my phone charged and with me as I love watching YouTube. I can become very upset if told 'no' and can headbutt but with the right support and someone who is patient and understanding I am sure I can feel safe and enjoy my time out.
