As written by him ... “I really like gaming though and can spend too long playing and I forget to do anything else. I need someone who will respect my privacy because sometimes I will want to be alone or with friends. I struggle with weak muscles and tire quite easily compared to my peers. I have limited movement. It is important that you are aware of how to move me correctly (full training will be given) and make sure I don't get too cold. In a crowd I canbecome anxious dueto a few reasons but would need you to make sure nobody falls on me as, due to my condition, I have weak bones which means they can break easily. I like a good discussion and debate about lots of things, current affairs, politics, conspiracy theories!” Key Responsibilities Your duties will include: ·
