Rap icon Kanye West has made a surprising revelation about his health, stating that he has been diagnosed with autism, contradicting his previous bipolar disorder diagnosis.
In a recent interview, West shared that his wife, Bianca Censori, questioned whether his behavioral patterns truly aligned with bipolar disorder. This prompted her to seek a second opinion, which ultimately led to an autism diagnosis. According to West, this new understanding has provided clarity on his past struggles, particularly regarding his sense of control over his actions and decisions.
The rapper explained that his autism has helped him make sense of his tendency to act against expectations and why he often resists external control, especially in matters related to his career and finances.
West's revelation has ignited discussions on autism awareness and the significance of accurate diagnoses in mental health. Many fans and advocacy groups have expressed their support for his openness, recognizing the impact of sharing personal struggles on public understanding of neurodiversity.
