Given what I have struggled with in the past, my dream for the future is to find some stability. Especially for my 12-year-old autistic son, I want things to be more stable for him. In two years time, I want to be successful. By that I mean being happy and content with what I am doing.
I have been diagnosed with bipolar and autism. I want to work in IT as it helps alleviate my symptoms. In previous roles, I have struggled with face-to-face conversations, but over the phone or internet, I am more comfortable with communication. None of my symptoms flare up in this context.
I think working in IT support is suited to me because I am interested in it and it is something that I am good at. On the customer service side of things, I like helping people and listening. I also love problem solving and think this work is a great opportunity to come up with solutions and overcome problems.
When I think about what makes me happy, the first thing that comes to mind is my son. He has low functioning autism, so he requires a lot of different care. I try to see him at least once a week, and that brings me a lot of joy. I'm also really into art and I love drawing. I'm happy to draw anything, test myself and my abilities, from live objects to cartoons.
