In this week’s episode of See What’s Possible, Myleene Klass talks with TV personality, author and autism advocate Christine McGuinness and activist and influencer Ellie Middleton to tell their stories about life with ADHD and autism.

From relationships and parenting to sensory overload, they reveal what the world gets wrong about neurodiversity and what finally helped them understand themselves.  Content Warning: This episode contains sensitive discussions of mental health struggles, burnout, eating disorders, addiction and self-medicating that some people may find distressing.  If you have been affected by the topics discussed, you can find information and support on the links below:  Mind: https://www.mind.org.uk/  Addiction & self-medicating: www.talktofrank.com  Follow:   Boots Opticians: https://www.instagram.com/bootsopticians   Myleene Klass: https://www.instagram.com/myleeneklass   Christine McGuinness: https://www.instagram.com/mrscmcguinness  Ellie Middleton: https://www.instagram.com/elliemidds   Learn more about our sponsors:   Essilor: https://www.essilor.com/   Transitions: https://www.transitions.com/   Learn more about the Boots Opticians Ultimate Eye Test: https://www.boots.com/opticians/eyetest/optomap   All trade marks are the property of their respective owners.
