Nick Ransom is a freelance journalist and recently produced the BBC documentary Inside Our Autistic Minds with TV presenter Chris Packham. He now works as a neurodiversity consultant.
He is diagnosed with autism and is seeking a diagnosis for ADHD. This has a variety of pros and cons towards how he processes information, socialises and communicates as part of his work.
