Charley Webb Begins Autism and ADHD Assessment After 'Sort Of' Diagnosis

She presented the disclosure as a step toward self-understanding within a wider public focus on neurodiversity.

Overview

  • Speaking on the Girls Next Door podcast, Webb said she has "sort of" been diagnosed and has just begun medical investigations for autism and ADHD.
  • She stressed she is at the initial stages of assessment and does not want to confirm a diagnosis yet.
  • Webb described noise sensitivity and feeling overwhelmed in busy places as key symptoms she hopes to examine further with clinicians.
  • She said the process helps explain why some view her as "cold," which she linked to potential autistic traits pending further evaluation.
  • The 37-year-old is best known for Emmerdale role Debbie Dingle from 2002 to 2021 and shares three children with ex-partner Matthew Wolfenden following their 2023 separation.
