I have raised 1 child with Autism and now have 2 young autistic adults living with me. I have ADHD and understand the nuances involved. In addition, my last employer has ADHD and I am familiar with the sometimes delicate communication that needs to happen because of those elements. I have worked with Bipolar Disorder, CPTSD survivors, anxiety disorder, OCD, germophobia, and dementia. With patience, kindness, and humor, I try and interact in ways that are supportive of the individual and their family. I can be firm yet polite and work with whatever treatment plan might be in place. As well as find new ways of managing difficult situations. I am flexible, caring, open-minded, and patient, but, I do not work with violence.
