THE brother and sister of a man with multiple disabilities have set up a website to help him find love.

Shane Walton was born blind and has recently been diagnosed with autism and Aspergers.

For the past year he has been struggling to find the right woman and his sister, Mauritia Shelley, and brother, Jesse Hawkins, decided to take action.

They set up One plus One Dating in order to help Shane, 37, from Great Bentley, and others like him with disabilities.

Mauritia, 25, said: "All this year Shane has been showing an interest in some female company.

"We have tried attending several groups in Colchester and Clacton but because of his needs they don't appeal to him, he would benefit more from one on one time.

"We mentioned setting up a website to our brother and he was quite excited about it, the feedback we have had includes people saying there is no way of meeting people."

You may think this sounds similar to Channel 4's Undateables series, but Mauritia is adamant they are opting for a more understanding approach.

She said: "The programme's name is not very charming for people with disabilities, a lot of people don't want to be associated with that.

"It's our mission to help these people."

Her brother's disabilities prevent him from taking part in everyday activities on his own. He was officially diagnosed a couple of years ago but his family always knew something was not quite right.

She said: "We knew his whole life there was something different about his behaviour."

She and Jesse, 23, from Colchester, are determined to make life easier for their brother who struggles to make conversation with women.

They will help him, and others, write a dating profile and find potential matches.

There are two packages available, and more information can be found on the website at www.oneplusonedatingagency.com.
