Most of us have had times in our lives when we’ve felt like we don’t fit in, but what if you always felt out of place no matter where you are? That’s the reality for many people on the Autism Spectrum, who are known as 'neurodivergent' a name given to those whose brain processes information in a way that’s different to the majority.

At 28, Callum Reid is only now accepting the reality of living life as someone who’s not neurotypical. It’s taken a lifetime of self-torment, trying to force a square peg in a round hole, for him to realise everything that’s great about being just the way he is.

He works a 9 to 5, but his true passion is producing electronic music under the name ‘Lezen’.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is often misunderstood. We commonly think of OCD as a need to keep things in order or being a germaphobe, but the reality can be far more life altering.

Matt’s experience of OCD was coloured by a constant barrage of intrusive thoughts so intense that it drove him to make an attempt on his life. It was the peak of the crescendo in his story, but thankfully not the climax.

It's been a hard road for Matt since that dark day in 2020, but he's come a long way thanks to therapy, his fiancé and the coping strategies he’s put into practice.

Now he’s earned himself a psychology degree and he’s on a mission to help people.
