There are not many young girls who know everything about Eddie Stobart vans, but Caitlyn Sheldon was one of them. This was just one of the hints to her mother that her child was neurodivergent.
Caitlyn was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of seven, but the diagnosis didn't quite fit the way Caitlyn experienced the world. Now 22 years old, Caitlyn described always being "really interested" in electric items, Legos, and the Eddie Stobart vans. They were just some of the hints that pressed Caitlyn's mum to press for a further opinion.
"She fought for a long time for me to get diagnosed," Caitlyn explained. "There were just lots of little signs and things like sensory aversions and things that made my mum realise, they're not on the ADHD spectrum, they were more on the autism spectrum."
