Actor Brian Mulvey’s life changed when after learning about his six-year-old son’s autism three years ago, he sought out his own diagnosis.

When your child is diagnosed with autism, you might realise you see more of yourself in them than you thought.

“Kit's not on the severe scale of things and it’s just finding our way through each day at a time how he can get through the world in a very neurotypical standardised world.”The most common features of autism Mr Mulvey and his wife, Jenny, identified in their son included stimming, hyper-fixations and feeling awkward in social situations.“With the psychologist, you go through multiple choice questions, and I could feel Jenny looking at me like ‘That’s you, that’s you, that’s you’,” he said.
