“I tried to wear a human costume until I was 45”: singer Sia admits she was diagnosed with autism 06/01/2023, 08:25

The Grammy Award winner heard the scary diagnosis two years ago, but only now decided to speak about it. In 2021, she faced a wave of criticism after the release of her musical film Music. Many argued that the image misrepresented people with intellectual disabilities.

Only now was the artist able to reveal the truth. “Until I was 45, I tried to wear a human costume. Only in the last two years have I started to come into my own. No one will ever be able to truly know and love you if you are full of secrets and live in constant shame,” Sia said.

She assured that once a person can reveal their deepest and darkest secrets, then everyone can laugh about it together. “For the first time in our lives, we will feel that we are not the scum of this society. For the first time in our lives, we will understand what it is when they see us as we really are, “said the artist in an interview with Deadline.

He is currently being treated. Doctors see positive dynamics in the singer’s condition: she is recovering. The star herself is also confident that she can overcome all difficulties.

By the way, Brendan Fraser’s son has autism. Recently, the actor spoke openly about his family. He admitted that at first he blamed himself for what happened to his son.
