Hi! I’m a young man with autism, and I’m searching for someone kind, calm, and funny to support me. If you love a good laugh and have a curious mind, we might just be a perfect match.

Consistency & Compassion – Especially on tough days, I need someone who’s calm and non-judgmental.
Patience & Positivity – A steady presence helps me feel safe and supported.
Respect for My Interests – Whether it’s chatting about fossils or caring for my pets, enthusiasm is key.
A Great 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 real connection and help someone live life to the fullest.
