Giggs recounts his life and states how he was diagnosed as autistic in adulthood.
He stated how as a child he’d be by himself waiting for breaktime to be over as he felt as if everyone was “immature”.
Giggs who grew up in Peckham went into detail about how he related better with older people (as do many other autistic people) due to them being more direct and serious compared those in his age-range.
He states that his son ML who also has autism helped his journey.
Giggs would go onto say his son had similar issues in secondary school, feeling that some of the other kids were “Stupid”, though ML struggled more as he did cry over his issues.
