Kanye West says he’s been diagnosed with autism and says it was his wife Bianca Censori who helped him to get re-tested.
The rapper was previously diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
“I went to this doctor. My wife took me to do that because she said, ‘Something about your personality doesn’t feel like it’s bipolar, I’ve seen bipolar before.’ And I’ve come to find that it’s really a case of autism that I have,” he said on Justin Laboy’s The Download podcast.
Ye says that autism is part of the reason he is a musical genius.
“Autism takes you to a Rain Man thing,” he said. “‘I’mma wear this Trump hat because I like Trump in general.’ And then when people tell you to not do it, you just get on that one point. And that’s my problem.”
Ye has been in good spirits since he returned to his billionaire status despite terminating deals with Adidas and other major brands.
“It’s been so hard on him because he loves me. It’s so difficult for them because this is like a grown man – you can’t take control of his bank account, you can’t control what I’m saying on Twitter,” he added of his former manager, Don C.
