How a stranger stopped me from taking my own life as a missing child

A musician and public speaker who disappeared from home multiple times has opened up about the moment a stranger stopped him from taking his own life as a missing child. J Grange has called for more targeted support for neurodivergent children, as his undiagnosed ADHD was the "biggest catalyst" for him going missing.
