The National Autistic Society describes autism as "a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them."

In the video, I explain how, in 2016, a "social anxiety had descended on me" and that I needed "resolution". Following support from family and friends, in February of this year, I was given a diagnosis that now leaves me in a much healthier frame of mind.

It is reported that only 16% of autistic adults in the UK are in full-time paid employment. Whilst I appreciate a diagnosis will naturally hold people back, I feel more confident than ever that I can still pursue a successful career in the media.
