Johnny’s Story

Hello, my name is John and I am 47 years old and I live with my mum Anna-rita in St Mary’s, Sydney. I have three sisters, Terri, Chris and Lyn who are good to me and I like having them around.

I like to watch footy at home and I support the Penrith Panthers. Phil Gould is my favourite.

I like to write and paint and I collect key rings from all around the world. I like having people around, going shopping and riding my bike.

I do all the mowing now and I know everyone in the neighbourhood.

I like having my carer Craig around and going out and having fun with him. I stick with the people I know. He has got a new car and I like looking at car books.

I’ve got a really good memory and I worked at the same place full time for 30 years. I like being active and I cleaned up at work.

I went to the Fragile X clinic at Ryde and it was so good, they gave me different tablets and they have made me not so stressed.
