Christine McGuinness has responded to a fan who told her she looks more 'comfortable' since she shared that she had been diagnosed with autism. The model told her fans that she had received the diagnosis, aged 33, in November 2021.
In a post on Instagram at the time, she wrote: "I got my diagnosis a few months ago. I have felt different my whole life. Honestly, I am relieved to finally understand myself!" It comes after all three of her children, who she shares with ex-husband Paddy McGuinness, were also diagnosed with the developmental disability caused by differences in the brain.
Christine has since become an autism campaigner and recently released her first solo documentary, Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism, with the BBC. It followed the first film she did with Paddy, Our Family and Autism, which explored how the lifelong condition affects their family life.
