Description
We are seeking a Network Friend for a man with autism in his forties. He is a coffee connoisseur and a foodie, and he is looking for a volunteer Network Friend who shares his love of computer programming. He is also interested in going for walks in nature or at the beach, yoga, tai chi, photography and pottery. He is interested in most forms of art, including oil painting, sculpture, watercolours, pastels and drawing. We hope to find one (or more) patient, empathetic friends who could each visit with him at least once per month.
