Television presenter and vocal coach Carrie Grant has said she has been ‘changed forever’ by the trauma of being on suicide watch for her autistic child.
Talking on Holly Willoughby‘s YouTube show, Together, on Monday, Carrie spoke about Tylan, 24, who is non-binary and also has Asperger’s and dyscalculia, a learning disability which affects people using number related concepts.
