Hello! My name is Alexandria, but you can call me Alex. My mom, dad, and step-mother are working with LIGHTS to find an appropriate housing option with a live-in caregiver and at least one roommate.

Timeline: Looking to connect ASAP but waiting to move once we know we are all a good fit

Location: Anywhere in Toronto

Type of Housing: Seeking rental apartment or house with 3 or 4 bedrooms

A Little About Myself:

I am almost 23. I enjoy going to my day program three times a week. I love to make videos on my iPad from short clips on YouTube. I collect Mr. Rogers DVDs and watch some at home, and I also love to beatbox and sing. Going for walks is one of my favourite things and sometimes I will take some time to draw or paint. I am fascinated by neon OPEN signs and traffic light stops. When I’m out in a restaurant or anywhere that I don’t have my iPad, I like to play with my sensory toys.

I am very motivated by food, but I can’t prepare anything for myself without supervision and assistance. I can shower, use the bathroom, and get dressed by myself, but I do need light, but regular supervision. I require a caregiver to always be present.

I have been diagnosed with ASD and am somewhat verbal. Very loud noises can cause me some distress. I like it to be calm and quiet at home.

My Roommate:

I am looking for one or two female roommates who enjoy doing their own thing, and with the right caregivers, would enjoy each other’s company when given the chance.

Please reach out to LIGHTS lights@cltoronto.ca if interested or if you have questions. We have been working with their facilitators and they can help us connect.
