About who needs care: Wesley is a calm and sweet young man who is on the autism spectrum. He is also nonverbal. But this doesn't reflect on his ability to take care of personal needs such as bathing, dressing, eating and preparing some foods with help. We live in a rural area where most activity would be in nearby cities/counties. And he is sooo over his family members getting him to go out and doing fun activities and such. A fresh face, person with fresh ideas would help motivate him to get out into the nearby community. He loves to cook, shop for his favorite snacks and just ride along even if just to look at the scenery going by. We care about him being healthy since he really is not able to fully communicate if hes sick. We have to go by the normal cues. So we would like for him to be active at least three out of the seven days of the week. He would do well to have a female that can come up with ideas of activities to do on the days they are together. All we want is for him to have something to look forward to besides eating and going back to bed everyday. Thank you. About the care needs: A personality that would be a good fit for Wesley would be someone with a lot of patience because Wesley will take time (maybe a minute or two) to absorb a suggestion and then follow through. Rushing or continually asking him to do something will cause him to get frustrated and upset. A creative soul who can come up with unique or interesting ideas of activities they can do with him will be so ideal, whether its a trip to do an activity or a fun project at his home. Whoever we will be blessed with, will also be blessed by working with our son. Thank you very much! Services needed include: transportation, and companionship.
