Elon Musk
has been open about the fact that he has Asperger’s syndrome (which falls under the umbrella of “autism spectrum disorder,” or ASD). Now, it looks like
Grimes
, with whom Musk has two children, is also on the autism spectrum.
Grimes
revealed this on X (formerly Twitter) last night/early this morning (August 22), tweeting, “Someone told me recently the grimes audience is hot autistic women , and now that I’m a few months into knowing I’m autistic (and no longer resent the idea), I rly have to say this is the vibe.”
Another user asked, “grimes how do I know if I’m autistic,” and Grimes replied, “Idk I went to check my kids and performed worse than them on every test. I got misdiagnosed with restless leg syndrome and [schizoaffective] disorder so if anything touching ur body feels like a million burning suns staring into ur soul with their eyes etc I’d recommend checking I suppose.”
Last September, Grimes also tweeted, “sometimes I wonder like… everyone talks abt accepting everybody but if u aren’t the correct type of neurodivergent ppl just rly f*cking hate you. I can’t figure out how to read the room or act normal and I never will. Most ppl legit don’t vibe w spectrum-y folk.”
