West said he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder in the past and actually has autism—which is estimated to affect about 1 in 45 adults in the United States.

“Autism spectrum disorder is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave,” according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Autism is not considered a mental health disorder and can be diagnosed at any age.

Kanye West has opened up about his autism diagnosis, saying his wife Bianca Censori encouraged him to seek a second opinion after feeling doubts over his initial bipolar disorder diagnosis.

Kanye West reveals his autism diagnosis after Bianca Censori's advice. His confession follows their controversial Grammy appearance.

A lot of what was sending me into the episodes…The constant feeling of not being in control spun me out of control,” the rapper shared on the “Download” podcast.
