Former Take That star Robbie Williams reveals autism diagnosis
- Singer Robbie Williams has revealed he has been diagnosed with autism, which he says “explains so much”.
- The 52-year-old former Take That star shared the news during a Q&A session for the launch of his new clothing brand.
- He said: “I have ADHD and I just found out I have a bit of autism as well, which I actually f****** love because it explains so much. It is my get-out-of-jail-free card now, and all the weird s*** that I do I just say, ‘Sorry, I’m autistic’.”
- As reported by the Daily Mail, the singer delved into how he leans into creative activities to help himself focus, saying: “If I’m creating images and funny things, I’m not thinking about me, because my brain is incredibly creative, and it can be creative about everything in the world that you panic or scared about.”
- The NHS defines autism as “a difference in how your brain develops that affects how you see and experience the world”.
