I’m originally from China I moved to the UK when I was 6 years old. I’m fluent in both English & Chinese however I prefer to communicate with my staff by writing messages to them.
I like to keep busy & spend lots of time outdoors going for long walks & visiting cafes where I like to buy myself ice creams & drinks. I like going out in my car with staff so I can access my other hobbies such as swimming & trampolining, I prefer to have drivers on my team. My family visit often & I love to spend time with them playing games, listening to music, watching videos on YouTube & seeing my dog, I love dogs! When I’m relaxing at home, I spend time listening to chart music on the radio, I also love music, I’m a very good piano player & like to watch piano tutorials. I might ask you if you know the songs on the radio. I like to play games & mainly choose maths ones as I really enjoy numbers, my team give me hard sums & I always get them right. I also like planting flowers, herbs & vegetables which I water every day, sometimes I go to my family’s allotment to help out & then we make food with the ingredients we’ve picked.
Due to my autism, I prefer quiet environment's as louder settings can make me feel anxious. I enjoy trips out in my car to McDonalds /KFC family home visits & walking around wide-open spaces such as the beach or the countryside.
I love my food, especially Chinese cuisine. I’d like it if you could cook, I love trying new recipes, especially if it’s a sweet treat. I’d like my team to have some experience of working with people with Autism, I would like a mixture of males & females who enjoy the same things I do.
