'Discovering I had ADHD and autism as an adult saved me - I've learnt to accept myself'

Distracted? Disorganised? Struggling to find your place in the world? ADHD is a condition we still don't know enough, especially when we try to understand how it affects adult women.

For author Alexandra Benedict, her diagnosis of autism and ADHD as an adult helped her make sense of her life - and understand her place in the world. Now her love of puzzles, which she uses as a way to relax and focus her 'flyaway' brain have made it into her latest book 'Murder on the Christmas Express'.

The rip-roaring thriller sees newly retired Det Insp Roz Parker on the last train to the Highlands before Christmas Day, as she moves back to Scotland to be closer to her pregnant daughter.
