Hello…my name is Joshua. I have one brother and one sister, she has five children two sons and three daughters, that makes me an uncle five times. I have several cousins and even second cousins, an Aunt and Uncle. I am very lucky to be part of a big family. My uncle lives in New Zealand and all my other relatives are in the South East of England. I love music, dancing, going to the theatre, parties, discos, drama and quieter moments I enjoy reading, my iPad, it’s amazing for information on anything. I want to produce or direct a show which can be shown at the Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall (preferably). I have “my girl Mandy” for three years now, we see each other about twice a week at day services. She is lovely and has dark curly hair and big brown eyes. We go on dates either for a meal or perhaps the cinema sometimes. I like to care for her on those occasions.
I have lived in supported living for about three years, and I will be moving on in October to learn more self-help skills and travel training. It’s nice to live with peers and friends as you can have lots of social time together. Mandy also lives in supported living but not with me! Kind regards and best wishes.
In 2016 I visited Kate Powell at the DSA national office at the Langdon Down Centre, Teddington.
