But after a lifetime of being seen - as model, chat show host and broadcaster, Melanie walked away from that career to spend her time helping others be heard, as a campaigner for women's rights and an advocate for neurodiversity. Then, at 52, Melanie got her own diagnosis of autism and it flicked a switch in her own life. It cast a new light on her own journey - from her Lancashire childhood, growing up in a musical mixed-race family, to her modelling career and ringside seat on celebrity culture as she became a star of TV and radio.

One of the biggest challenges if you are an autistic adult (or suspect you might be) is navigating the situations which to the predominantly neurotypical population might appear completely benign but which cause you huge stress, anxiety and worry. At work, at university, in social situations, in friendships, relationships, in shops, in unfamiliar environments - there are a wealth of things that can make you feel overwhelmed if the world is full of things that you feel nobody else notices but which cause you huge distress. Dr Luke Beardon has put together an optimistic, upbeat and readable guide that will be essential reading not just for any autistic adult, but for anyone who loves, lives with or works with an autistic person.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Author: </span>Beardon, Luke<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Published: </span>London : Sheldon Press, 2021.<br />1 volume ; 22 cm.<br />Overcoming common problems<br /><br />Montrose Library - (Angus Libraries) - Adult Non-Fiction - 616.8588 - Long Term Conditions - Available - 38046100364396<br /> https://angus.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/ENQ/WPAC/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&BRN=2806308&CF=BIB Ten years ago, Kate Mosse began to help her heroic mother care for her beloved father, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease. In this lyrical and humorous book, she reflects on more than a decade of multi-generational living and being an 'extra pair of hands', first for her parents and now for her wonderful 90-year-old mother-in-law. Interspersed with snapshots of the overlooked voices of carers of the past - from poems, diaries and folk remedies that have survived the centuries - Kate looks at the contemporary landscape of care in a world of slashed budgets and at the women bearing the brunt of austerity as they battle to hold families of all shapes and sizes together.

As the other children in their NCT group began to outstrip Evelyn, James began to suspect that she wasn't simply a 'late bloomer' (as he and his wife would tell friends and family). At the age of two, Evelyn was finally diagnosed with non-verbal autism, a severe form of autism that hinders her mental and physical development, and may have affected their relationship forever.
