Good article: Melanie Sykes

‘Thrown under the bus’: Melanie Sykes says she quit TV after bad treatment by industry | Television | The Guardian

Good article this. 

Also, why I decided to leave the business too: Music. 

I still do music but in my own way in order to avoid such males. Terrible this is still happening. 

Mel is great when she is on radio, I hope she comes back on air soon.

    I'm was in the same industry as Mel, crossed paths a few times... The industry attracts many high functioning autistic people for obvious reasons. However, in retrospect it wasn't the right fit for me either, as I too didn't realise why I had burnout bouts and the rest. It's an unpredictable industry and although it has great perks, mainly the income and travel, it takes its toll on all who enter it.
