Jo Redman is a British kickboxer, whose aggressive fighting style has seen her clinch three world titles.  Away from the sport, Jo is much more withdrawn.  She has Asperger's Syndrome - an autistic spectrum disorder characterised by social and communication difficulties, and repetitive behaviour.  Last year, she was also diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD - the symptoms of which include inattentiveness and impulsiveness.  The two disabilities can be incredibly conflicting.
