Earlier this year, Christine released a documentary following her own personal journey with autism and how it impacted her life from a young age. The 35-year-old has been documenting her story since discussing her three children's autism to help shed light on the condition while meeting those who feel isolated and lonely.
During the documentary, Christine admitted during last year's National Diversity Awards, where she was asked to present an award, she was overwhelmed. Her hearing and smell were triggered throughout the evening and a last-minute change to the script was branded as exhausting.
The ceremony will take place at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral on Friday, September 15. The full list of shortlisted nominees can be found here.
