Georgina Grasso, First Welsh Bake Off Winner, Reveals Bipolar 2 and Autism Diagnosis

Georgina Grasso, the first Welsh champion of the Great British Bake Off, has revealed being diagnosed with bipolar 2 and autism, a shock that has left her unsure of her identity. Grasso, from Carmarthenshire, had been a vocal ADHD advocate during the show, loving that role but feeling completely overwhelmed. In an Instagram post Monday, she said her doctor first suggested misdiagnosis last year, but she dismissed it. Though the new diagnosis brings some relief, she fears judgment and worries about keeping up with her workload. Having started new medication, she hopes to stay stable and support her family, asking followers with bipolar experience for advice. Bipolar UK says overlapping traits make misdiagnosis common.
