JOB DESCRIPTION Part-time Personal Assistant SOMETHING ABOUT ME

I am a 25-year-old young man living with my mum in Penydarren, Merthyr Tydfil. At 17 I was diagnosed with autism. This made my years in formal education very difficult. I also experience high anxiety, poor self-image and esteem. I am attending college 3 days a week which I really enjoy. I am a creative person and I love drawing. I have attended life drawing which was a great experience. I have visited London and attended a Comic Con event which is a speculative fiction fan convention. I am yet to attend the one held in Cardiff which I would love to attend. I like watching films of any genre except horror and I am quite an easygoing person and very caring.
