Christine McGuinness reveals struggles with autism: 'don't want to live’

Christine McGuinness has shared insights into her intimate battle with autism while navigating through her recent 'spiral' episode.

In a black and white Instagram post, 35, the model posed, elaborating to her 726,000 followers about the phases of an 'autism meltdown,' employing spiral visuals to aid in understanding.

Christine, who split with her estranged husband, Paddy McGuinness in 2022, said: ''Might delete later' kinda post (scared emoji).

'Because my autistic self likes to present perfection, this goes against what I like to share but it is part (a small part thankfully my 'moments' are few and far between) of me being authentically autistic me so,' she continued with a breathing out emoji.

'The music in my car helps to block out the noise in my head music is medicine for me,' she continued.

'And understanding the spiral really helps, I hope the visual representation helps others too.

'(Every person is different and may feel differently, for me this is very accurate) be kind to yourself, remember it passes, it always passes.

'P.S, I am absolutely fine, I don't want to worry anyone. And my feeling of "I don't want to live anymore" is more often like "I just want to disappear for a while".'

Christine ended her caption on a more positive note, teasing that she will be sharing some 'exciting news'.

But her heartfelt and candid post led to her fans flooding her comments box with their support.

It comes after she revealed the real reason why she is still living with her estranged husband Paddy two year after their split.

Christine revealed she has agreed to the unconventional living arrangement because they 'don't want their children to be affected' by their separation.
