Written by our client:

I suffer from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (diagnosed as type 1) which causes weakness in my muscles and makes many aspects of my daily life quite challenging. My body is very weak and consequently, I need assistance with practically everything I do.

My carer will need to organise and prepare my breakfast and I will probably need some help eating and drinking it. Ill also need to be transported (driven in my WAV My carer will be expected to drive the van) to and from university (sometimes I take public transport) or other (more fun activities) etc.

If Im honest, Im not at my best first thing in the morning and typically, Ill ask for 5 more minutes of sleep. It is important to ignore this, as I generally brighten up quite quickly once Im fully awake.

Apart from my physical disability, my mind is as sharp as any and Id prefer to find a carer who is happy to join in with conversation and social activities. Ideally, the perfect carer would become a friend.
