Carrie Kearns always knew she was different. From personal friendships to colleagues, the mum-of-two struggled to fit in throughout her life and considered herself a loner.
But that all changed earlier this year when she received a life-changing diagnosis of autism. Now the 40-year-old, from Bolton , has revealed how ”relieved” she felt following the discovery – and the difficulties she has faced along the way.
“Ever since I was a child, I noticed I was different,” she told the Manchester Evening News. “I didn’t seem to be able to fit in with other children my age and I was always a bit of a loner playing out on my own; I was more interested in nature and playing with plants and bugs than the games my friends were playing.
