Being diagnosed with ASD at 27

Available for over a year

Journalist Marianne Eloise was recently diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, aged 27. She says it finally gives her an explanation of why she has found it difficult to simply exist; from experiencing extreme sensory overload in situations others find normal, to never being able to make small talk. Marianne joins Jane on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour to talk about her personal breakthrough.
