| I’m currently trying to get into university to study paediatric nursing and I am hoping to get an opportunity to gain some more experience in caring for people . I am particularly interested in caring with people with disabilities such as autism as i myself have aspergers so i know a great deal about how to give care to someone who has similar/ more severe disabilities . Although i am autistic I don’t let that hold me back and i use it as a “superpower” as it gives me an incredible memory and i am more aware than most about sensory issues . I have undergone a first aid course and i have skills in DBT and CBT (mental health therapy courses) . I have no other responsibilities so i will be able to help how little or as much as you may desire . Although i will be getting paid that is not my motivation, my motivation is to gain experience and help people who can’t always help themselves
