In today's episode I am joined with Jacqueline who is Autistic, she was diagnosed 2 years ago she cried with Joy when she got her diagnosis. For the first part of the episode we talk about being Autistic, school life, and the difference between boys and girls in the spectrum. Girls and boys have different symptoms of Autism, and girls have found it harder for a diagnosis, from the 2000s to now a lot has changed and Autistic people are getting diagnosed in adulthood more frequent. Jacqueline talks about the process of her diagnosis and what it means to be autistic!  We move on to the topic of bullying and how it's a difficult topic because you feel like your in a tight corner if you tell someone it'll make the situation does, we talk about bullying and cyber bullying and friendship groups.  Jacqueline talks about her Chronic Illness which first come to light in 2014 she talks us through her Chronic Illness what it is and that she was nearly diagnosed with Crohn's.
