Mum-of-three Christine McGuinness has opened up about concerns she has regarding how her children will grow up. Speaking to OK!
at the Me, My Autism & I exhibition at the gallery@oxo in London, the TV star and ex-wife to comedian husband Paddy, 33, said the thought of her kids struggling as adults breaks her heart. "It keeps me awake at night," Christine - who herself was diagnosed with autism in 2021 - added. "I worry if they’re going to be independent when they’re older. "It’s an extra concern with them being autistic and having additional needs – they’re more vulnerable.They might need support in getting employment and I don’t know if they’ll have independent living. "I don’t know what the future holds, but I try and stay positive.
I need to spend as much time as possible making them as independent as they can be for when that time comes." In her recent BBC documentary Christine McGuinness: Unmasking My Autism, she looked for answers as to why it took so long for her, and thousands of others, to be diagnosed, and how things could be improved for girls and women in the same situation.
Christine’s journey of self-discovery came after her nine-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and their younger sister Felicity, seven, were all diagnosed with autism.
