Robbie Williams has shared that he has been diagnosed with both ADHD and a form of autism, according to a recent Q&A session at the launch of his clothing brand Hopeium. The singer found out about his autism diagnosis recently and expressed that it has become his "get-out-of-jail-free card" to explain his unusual behaviors. Williams explained how his ADHD enables him to focus intensely on creative tasks, while his autism helps him understand the reasoning behind his bizarre thoughts and actions.
He shared an example of his intrusive thoughts - he wondered if he could have telekinesis on a plane and make it crash. The former Take That member also revealed having "inside Tourette's," where he doesn't openly express his intrusive thoughts. In 2024, Williams told NME that he is neurodivergent and "on the spectrum," suggesting he might have autism.
He recently broke The Beatles' record for the most UK No. 1 albums, and his biopic Better Man made the list of 50 Best Music Biopics of All Time.
