As a person on the autism spectrum, having ever-changing support workers has been a source of great anxiety for me.
After establishing a relationship with one, they have inevitably left the agency and I have been allocated a new support worker, and had to begin that process of building and maintaining a relationship time and time again.
I have had six support workers over a two-year period, but for the past two years, Lorraine Abel has been supporting me with tasks and activities that I find difficult to complete.
