## Summary

Robbie Williams has said he has been diagnosed with autism, alongside his previously disclosed ADHD, during a Q&A session in London. He said the diagnosis helped him make sense of aspects of his behaviour and concentration, while describing creative work as a way to redirect anxiety and intrusive thoughts.

Williams has previously discussed anxiety, depression and what he calls “inside Tourette’s”, referring to intrusive thoughts. The former Take That singer released his album ‘Britpop’ in January, which reportedly gave him the record for the most UK Number One albums, and has announced major outdoor UK and Ireland shows for next summer.
