Looking for a Support Role That’s Full of Heart (and a Bit of Quirk)? Meet Me!

Hi, I’m a young man navigating life with autism, and I’m on the lookout for someone truly special to support me—someone kind, caring, and with a great sense of humour. Because let’s be honest… laughter really is the best medicine!

I’ve got a passion for all things quirky—think snakes, tarantulas, fossils, animal skulls, and Lego. My interests are unique, and I love sharing them with people who are open-minded and curious. While I’ve had some tough experiences with support in the past, I promise there’s a fun, vibrant side of me just waiting to shine once trust is built.

Here’s what I value most in a support person:

 💬 Consistency & Compassion: Especially on the harder days, I need someone who can stay calm, understanding, and help me move forward without judgment.

🧠 Patience & Positivity: I can feel anxious or frustrated at times, so a steady, reassuring presence makes all the difference.

🐍 Respect for My Interests: Whether it’s chatting about fossils or helping me care for my pets, I’d love someone who embraces my world with enthusiasm.

😄 Sense of Humour: If you can laugh with me, you’re already halfway there.

This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to build a meaningful connection and help someone live life to the fullest.
