Robbie Williams Shares New Health Diagnosis Saying 'It Explains so Much'

Williams said the diagnosis helps explain his anxiety, ADHD and intrusive thoughts as he continues speaking openly about long-running mental health struggles.

  • At the Autumn and Winter launch of his clothing brand Hopeium at Flannels, singer Robbie Williams revealed he has been diagnosed with "a little bit of autism," calling it a "get out of jail free card" to explain his "weird" habits.
  • Williams, who previously spoke openly about living with ADHD, described his intrusive thoughts in October as a form of "inside Tourette's," an inherited neurological condition affecting involuntary tics.
  • With ADHD, the singer can "completely and utterly concentrate on something 1,000%," he said, though he struggles to maintain focus on most other daily tasks.
  • Williams uses the autism diagnosis to explain his "weird" habits to others, describing it as providing relief and clarity about his long-standing social and anxiety challenges.
  • Social interactions remain difficult for Williams, who continues to experience "panic" and "discomfort" when approached by strangers, noting he masked these fears for many years without professional support.
