Pop singer Robbie Williams, 52, says he has been diagnosed with autism after previously discussing struggles with “intrusive thoughts.” In recent remarks, he links the disclosure to his mental health and also comments humorously about how the diagnosis affects how people may interpret his behavior.

Williams said that in 2023 he had shared that he has ADHD. He now describes learning that he has autism, characterizing both as neurodevelopmental differences. The reports provide limited additional medical detail, but agree on the basic timeline: an earlier ADHD disclosure followed by the later autism diagnosis, alongside the mention of intrusive thoughts.
