Considine talks about Asperger's diagnosis

Actor Paddy Considine has said that being diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome has allowed him "to make sense" of things.

Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph, he said: "For a few weeks after the diagnosis, I was wandering around thinking, 'Who the hell am I?' But naming my problem has helped me a lot."

"It's allowed me to make sense of so many things I didn't understand before - and is allowing me to move forward with my life."

"I'd been working with an acting coach who has now become a good friend."

"We'd been trying lots of improvisational techniques to help me with some of the problems I experience. But it's a very slow process."
