Stephanie Davis bravely opens up on high functioning autism diagnosis in emotional video
Stephanie Davis has bravely admitted she has been diagnosed with high functioning autism — and used alcohol to calm her anxiety.
Opening up to fans in the touching video, Stephanie told her fans that the thought of social situations would make her "sweat, tantrum and cry." "I would have to drink a bottle of wine before I went out. I do believe I've self medicated now a lot because of the anxiety." "That's why I drank a lot more, because I found it so exhausting.
