About me:

My name is Rory and I'm 28 years old.

I am a man with autism and learning difficulties, and I would love for you to be able to support me with enjoying my hobbies and activities.

I am very energetic and enjoy walking long distances, going to the gym and being active in nature. I love parks and trees whatever the weather, come rain or shine.

My family are incredibly important to me and are a huge part of my life.

I also love Disney, especially 80's and 90's classic films, and I have an amazing collection of castles and toys from these movies.

Although I am non-verbal, with patience and support you will see me for who I am. Your support will enable me to live a more fulfilling and fun-filled life.


I am looking for enthusiastic and caring Personal Assistants / Companions to help and support me as I learn to live independently whilst you remain my friend and companion.

Important considerations

  • I am very sensitive to smells and love for my clothes to be fully clean.

  • A satisfactory enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check, the cost of which will be covered by the employer
