My mums friend, who's son is autistic, recommended my mum 'a kind of spark', which had recently come out on bbc iplayer. I was reluctant to watch it at first, because I thought is was aimed for younger children. After dinner, we usually watch a tv show, and I wanted to watch Horrible Histories. However, my mum was bored of that by then (I did watch it every day at that point. I go through phases) and she said we should try A Kind of Spark. We watched an episode, and I was angry because I wanted to be watching Horrible Histories. However I soon realised that I related a lot to the characters, and I started doing some research on autism. I had my initial assessment last year, and they said I am most likely autistic and I have ADHD although because the waiting list's so long I probably won't be officially diagnosed for another 1-3 years. My mum bough me the book and I loved it, and I loved the series the more I watched of it. And so my mum bought me all of Elle Mcnicolls other books. Elle is an actual legend. And now she's written the Keedie book (she's my favourite character) , which I can't wait for, and A Kind of Spark has a season two. I couldn't be more excited. I'm glad I gave it a go, because it led me to discover so much about myself.
