The star will also speak about “fame, motherhood, self-medicating and trauma to her breakdown and breakthrough to become a campaigner and autism advocate”. Writing her story had helped her “heal”, and Sykes hopes it helps women recognise if they are in coercive relationships. She said: 'Getting a late diagnosis and having to learn about and understand my neurodivergent mind and sensitivities has indeed unlocked my happiness but it's been an arduous road. After Alan advised her it was fine, she said: "Oh good, but I'll try not to, because I've just discovered I have Tourette's. Good Morning Britain viewers demand Richard Madeley be dropped after he asks guest who lost 21 relatives in Gaza bombing: 'How close were you to your brothers?

Studies based on active screening of children rather than diagnostic records suggest that the ratio for those meeting current diagnostic criteria is closer to 3:1.

Melanie Sykes attends the Bardou Foundation International Women’s Day celebration at the Hospital Club in March 2018. She expressed her shock when she later saw a statement issued to the press which blamed her and Mark's lack of knowledge and alleged failure to understand the show's concept as the reason behind its premature axing.No escape: Desperate Brits trying to flee Gaza 'are turned away' just hours after Rafah crossing to Egypt. However, while she was filming, a colleague lay on the floor and stared up her skirt, “which he thought was funny. The presenter, 52, shared her diagnosis in 2021, and said it's been an 'arduous road' learning to 'understand her neurodivergent mind and sensitivities,' but hopes that by writing about them she can help others.
