Melanie Sykes discusses living with autism and vows to change perception of diagnosis

Melanie Sykes discussed how she lives with autism, and vowed to change people’s perception of the condition.

The 51-year-old revealed her diagnosis last year, and said she was “celebrating” after being “validated” following years of feeling different to other people.

Her youngest son Tino, 17, has also been diagnosed with autism, and in a new interview on John Bishop’s podcast Three Little Words, the TV star spoke about her plans for the future, and how she wants to transform how people perceive the condition.
