“For years kind Radio 1 listeners have sent me messages whenever I’ve been talking about certain things encouraging me to get tested as so many adult women are undiagnosed but I ignored it cos fussy eating and fidgeting didn’t really affect my life and I’d finally started to stop leaving things on trains.”
“It has however been really validating to know that potentially the way my brain is wired makes it hard for me to put down the creme eggs.”
