The person you will support is a male in his 30's who has been diagnosed with Autism and Learning Disabilities.

At night he finds it hard to sleep and can stay up.

During this time, you will need to be patient and interact with him to keep him calm to help him get to sleep.

He is a very energetic young man who forms close bonds with people he can trust.

He enjoys going on drives, going to the gym, engaging in the community as well as going on walks in the park and by the beach when it's sunny.

He also enjoys spending time in his home, foot and hand massages, foot baths and engaging in daily activities, like puzzles and tidying up.

He is very proud and happy that he keeps his home tidy and neat.
