In the elegant setting of the Mayor’s Parlour this afternoon, we gathered to celebrate the launch of a remarkable and deeply moving book: Autism, Anorexia and Me, co-authored by 18-year-old Grace Robinson and her mother, Julie Robinson. The atmosphere was filled with warmth, empathy, and quiet admiration. Though Grace did not speak publicly, her voice—clear, honest, and brave—came through powerfully in her writing.

She writes candidly about losing her ability to connect with the things she loved, particularly swimming, which had once helped her regulate her emotions and find calm in the chaos. Grace’s story is n...
