A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a sociable person who likes to go out and meet people, but I can struggle to make new connections and would like some assistance in helping me to grow and maintain these connections going forward, I would like to improve my home and may also need some assistance with this as I don’t always know how to go about this, I live by myself and have autism however I disagree with this diagnosis.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

I need someone who is equally proactive as they are patient, while it can take me some time to get used to new ideas, too much time can lead to me becoming more anxious and as a result makes me less likely to do them.
