Christine McGuinness Reflects on Birmingham Night Out After Autism and ADHD Mix-Up
Model and reality TV star Christine McGuinness has opened up about a hilarious yet challenging mix-up that nearly prevented her from attending a night out in Birmingham. The 37-year-old celebrity, known for her roles on shows like Real Housewives of Cheshire, revealed that her autism and ADHD led to a misunderstanding about the event's details.
Confusion Over 'Sunday Session' Invitation
Christine McGuinness explained that when she received an invitation to a 'Sunday Session' in Birmingham just before Christmas 2025, her autism-driven need for planning and research, combined with her ADHD's tendency to skip important details, caused her to misinterpret the event. She initially believed she was heading to a church service in a different country, prompting her to pack accordingly.
It was only when she showed someone her plans that she realized the mistake. The 'Sunday Session' was actually a popular recurring daytime party in Birmingham, featuring top DJs playing genres like R&B, Dancehall, UKG, Amapiano, and Hip Hop. She quickly swapped her Sunday best for a stylish outfit, including a low-cut vest, matching hot pants, and fishnet tights, to fit the vibrant atmosphere.
Overcoming Challenges to Enjoy the Night
Despite the initial confusion, Christine McGuinness made it to the event and described it as 'such a good night'. In a social media post shared two months later, she wrote, 'True story - when I was invited to a ‘Sunday Session’ the week before Christmas I was packing my bags for church!' She added, 'My Autism likes to plan ahead and research. My ADHD skips all the important details! I’m so happy I made it to the actual ‘Sunday Session’ it was such a good night.'
This incident highlights the everyday challenges faced by individuals with autism and ADHD, even in seemingly simple situations like event planning. Christine's openness about her neurodiversity helps raise awareness and understanding among her fans and the public.
Personal Updates and Family Health Scare
In related news, Christine McGuinness also shared a personal update from Christmas Eve 2025, when her eldest daughter Penelope was rushed to the hospital. She reassured followers that Penelope was okay and expressed gratitude to the doctors and nurses working over the holidays. She noted, 'These last 24hrs have been eventful! With a flooded bathroom, last minute shopping, a visit to A&E, wrapping past midnight and remembering that Christmas looks different for everyone!'
Christine McGuinness continues to use her platform to discuss both joyful moments and real-life struggles, endearing her to audiences with her honesty and resilience. Her Birmingham night out story serves as a reminder of the importance of adaptability and finding joy despite unexpected hurdles.
