The inquest heard Ms Smith was diagnosed as being autistic and having learning difficulties at a young age.

"It's the most difficult feeling for a doctor to be present, able to diagnose a condition but unable to carry out essential tests and lacking the necessary treatments," Dr al-Farra says.

She was diagnosed with autism and ADHD, as well as visual and speech impairments, while at mainstream secondary school.

Globally, an estimated 1.5 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.

But they are both diagnosed under the same broad umbrella of autism spectrum disorder.
