Dear Parents, An Autism Diagnosis Is Nothing To Fear

Christine McGuinness has said her “world turned upside down” when she and her husband found out her four-year-old twins had autism, but that wasn’t a bad thing.

The wife of ‘Take Me Out’ host Paddy McGuinness discussed how the diagnosis changed her as a mother in a video for national charity Autism Together.

“I knew it was my purpose in life to be their mum, but this really made me want to be the best mum I could be for them,” she said on the video. “I’ve got so many hopes and dreams for our children.”
