Hello my name is Joanna Goodyear, commonly known as Vish.
I’m 22 & I have Autism, special needs & learning disabilities.
I’m smiley, kind, honest, trustworthy, loving, warm, confident, glamorous, funny, bubbly, beautiful, gorgeous, fab, sweet, stunning, friendly, hardworking, respectful, helpful, reliable, caring & a lovely young lady that you’ll all ever meet.
I’m a community champion all over Bolton areas such as Johnson Fold & Harwood because it interests me to the max where I love being out & about in the areas of Bolton on Monday-Saturday (6 days a week) as it keeps me going through the day & week keeping myself busy, active, productive & motivated. I volunteer at a shop 3 days a week, socialise with my parents, my friends from work, Band/Autism groups & my other friends from different workplaces as well. It’s just interesting for me to know what’s going on out there in the community & it’s also good for my autism, mental health & wellbeing because I just love exploring! That’s my hobby & that’s what I love doing - Being adventurous!
I’m a genius at dates where I remember people’s birthdays from the age of 6 or 7 as they told me when their birthday is & I’ve been doing it for 15 years now via the calendar (1900s-now) remembering what days were all these dates were landed on & even now, I still can’t even believe that I remember all these dates when they were born. To me, it’s a special gift that I’ve got because I’m so lucky to have a photographic memory like that.
I’ve got good knowledge about where buses go to such as the 561 & 562 goes to Withins via Tonge Moor & Breightmet, the 125 goes to Doffcocker, the 533 goes to Egerton & other buses where it all goes to from Bolton to different destinations.
I also have good knowledge of Bolton because I know lots of areas such as Astley Bridge, Deane, Smithills & Lostock. Same with all the Bolton postcodes too like Halliwell is BL1, Ladybridge is BL3 & the other way round like BL4 is Kearsley & BL5 is Over Hulton.
I have passionate interest for Bolton because it’s a fantastic town & a great place to live. Also the areas like Horwich & Bromley Cross are great to be around because their places are absolutely amazing to visit.
I’m also a regular bus traveler because I go to different areas such as Farnworth & Little Lever to explore places where I’ve been or not been before to meet people who I’ve met or have not met before.
I live in Great Lever, Bolton. I was born & bred there & have lived there all my life.
