I regret having Madison tested for ADHD and autism – I wish I wasn’t so public about it, says Chloe Sims

TOWIE's Chloe Sims has opened up about her regrets of being so public about her daughter's potential neurodivergency. The 40-year-old star is mum to 16-year-old Madison who she had tested for ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a child but "never followed it up".

Chloe revealed that she wished she hadn't been so "open" about getting her daughter tested. "I had her assessed and it was a possibility, but we’ve never followed it up," she told OK. "Now it seems to be all over the internet.

I probably shouldn’t have been that open back then." Chloe added: "That was an error on my part because now we get asked all the time, but we don’t talk about that anymore.

I just had her assessed when she was seven, and they said potentially, that’s all." ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is one of the most common childhood conditions and includes a combination of persistent symptoms, such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour.
