We are a small household in a lovely caring neighbourhood in Lower Hutt, Wellington. I am a single mum who works full time. I live with my 22 year old son who is autistic. My daughter is away at university so comes home during university holidays. My son is attending disability programmes, learning life skills and gaining independence. We are aiming for him to move into a flatting situation (with support) by the time he turns 25 and are looking for a kind, supportive person to provide support for a approximately 5 hours a week to help him on his journey to independence.
