Who am I?

I am a 25-year-old man living in an apartment in the center of Kungsbacka. I am accompanied by one of my assistants who supports me with what I need help with.

My biggest interest is MUSIC; listening, DJing, playing, etc.! I am curious and enjoy learning new things. This past summer, I learned the spelling alphabet and now read all the number plates when I am out. I have a strong need to make my own decisions, and you who work with me need to be good at listening to me and helping me get what I want. Often, you need to help explain how to do what I want and what is possible or not.

Excursions are fun, for example, going to town, running/exercising, going to Aeroseum or Universeum. I enjoy building, screwing, and sawing, especially if I have made a drawing beforehand.

What do I need help with?

I may need a helping hand with quite a few things; getting up in the morning, going to the bathroom, showering, washing, eating, drinking, etc. I eat both regular food and tube feeding a couple of times a day. The food is a special diet, ketogenic diet that helps me have fewer and smaller epileptic seizures. I need help with cooking, mixing tube food, eating food and tube feeding, and drinks.

I have many ideas and like to do things, but quite often I may need help getting started or switching from one activity to another. You don’t want to interrupt what you are doing 😊 But suddenly, I can be quick as a flash!

Who are you?

You who will work with me need to be “strong and cool” but also kind and attentive. I usually know what I want but may have difficulty explaining, so it’s good if you are skilled at trying to understand. Since I can be very stubborn, it’s good if you, besides being kind, are also straightforward and clear about what is okay and what is not okay and why it is so. If you are kind and clear, I will also be kind and respect you.

You are confident in yourself and enjoy finding things to do, but you can also relax if I am unwell and need to sleep. You must not be afraid to go out and do things.

Previous experience with epilepsy and tube feeding is a plus but not a requirement.
