Summary

A little about myself:

I am 16 years old boy living in Swansea, I live with my Mum, Dad and older Sister. I have high functioning Autism, ADHD and anxiety. I enjoy socialising, chatting, theme parks, other exciting activities and shopping for bargains (new or second hand) in charity shops and car boot sales. Technology, photography and walking are some other things that interest me. I’m looking for someone who is fun to be with and will join in all of the fun things that I love to do. I don’t want a ‘babysitter’ or a ‘carer’, I want someone to help me get out of the house, take me places and act more like a friend to me. I like to talk about my interests, and I also show enthusiasm for yours too. I am a friendly, kind and caring boy but sometimes I can get anxious about new things and sometimes I need a bit help to feel regulated and calm. If I feel overwhelmed, I might need my own space and I’ll need someone who is able to identify that, but I might also just need someone to be kind and talk calmly to me if I feel distressed or anxious.
