FEMALE Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 42 year old female living at home with my parents and my brother in Pontypridd. I have fragile X syndrome which is a chromosome disorder that causes a range of developmental problems including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. I have epilepsy which is well controlled, I have not had a seizure for over ten years now. I have Tourette’s syndrome and sometimes I can swear a lot. My parents describe me as a bubbly character and have a good sense of humour. I really enjoy watching Friends, The Chase, going out in the car going out for a burger, going for a stroll around park. I love swimming. I am pretty easy going but sometimes I can be a bit nervous of dogs that are off the lead and that might run towards me. I love listening to any music but in particular I love 70s music.
