Encourage him to join in things socially to meet other people and the PA should come up with new ideas and discuss these options with him.

A little bit about him, that you should understand. He is a very anxious person and this can affect his mental health.

If when out with the gentleman, **DO NOT** rush him when he is having a coffee or lunch, if you are back late, then some tasks will not be done. This is his choice. If you rush him this will cause him to be anxious.

Please watch your manner with him, due to his Autism he may miss interpret this as being overly bossy.
