Robbie Williams reveals his autism diagnosis at 52: \u201cThat explains so much\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbie Williams revealed that he was recently diagnosed with autism, news that, as he explained, has allowed him to better understand different aspects of his personality and the way his mind works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 52-year-old British singer shared the information during a Q&A session in London, organized for the launch of the autumn-winter collection of his clothing brand Hopeium, at Flannels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI have ADHD and I just found out that I also have a bit of autism, something that I actually love because it explains so much,\u201d the artist stated during the meeting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With the characteristic sense of humor he usually shows when talking about his personal experiences, Williams added that he now uses the diagnosis as an explanation for some of his behaviors: \u201cFor all the weird things I do, I just say: \u2018Sorry, I\u2019m autistic<\/strong>\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Take That member also spoke about how he lives with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), particularly with his ability to focus intensely on certain interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith ADHD you can focus completely and absolutely on something at 1000%, but with absolutely everything else, you just can’t do it. Ask my kids,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his case, creativity has become one of his main tools for keeping his mind occupied. The singer claimed to be \u201ccompletely and absolutely obsessed with creating images and doing fun things,\u201d activities that allow him to focus his attention away from thoughts that can cause him fear or anxiety<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIf I am creating images and fun things, I am not thinking about myself,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Williams even recounted a situation he experienced during a flight to illustrate the intensity of his intrusive thoughts. He shared that he went as far as wondering if his thoughts could cause a plane to crash through telekinesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThat is the level of madness I am dealing with. It is better to train my brain to do something better than worrying about having supernatural powers and making a plane crash,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
