Summary
Joining us today a former model who has gone from well-known to well-loved, establishing herself as a powerful advocate for autism awareness: it’s the wonderful Christine McGuinness!
Fresh off her stint in BBC Two’s Pilgrimage: The Road Through North Wales, Christine joins Kate to chart her remarkable journey to public prominence. From struggling to fit in at school and falling into the wrong crowd, her childhood was fraught with challenges and confusion. However, Christine has found answers in later life to the questions that had long plagued her, with a late diagnosis of autism providing insight into her sometimes difficult experiences. Armed with this newfound understanding, she seized control of her life and has become a celebrated advocate for those going through exactly what she did!
