A mum is graduating from Edinburgh's Napier University despite being diagnosed with autism later in life and being told she 'wasn't smart enough' as a child.
Nikki McLeod is set to graduate at Napier's annual ceremony on Thursday, July 7, at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, having proved those who doubted her wrong and has also given advice for anyone else who may be in a similar situation.
Nikki, 49, originally from Kirkcaldy in Fife, started studying at Napier four years ago and made it through the troubles of the pandemic with her own Bachelor's degree in veterinary nursing after discovering similarities between herself and her son, who has also been diagnosed with the life-changing condition.
