Singer Sia diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder

Singer Sia is a guest on Rob Has a Podcast. In a conversation with the presenters, the popular performer admitted that it was difficult for her to establish contact with other people throughout her life. The actress was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The pop diva learned about the disease two years ago.

Now I’m fine, I’m recovering and all that – there are many different nuances. I have been like this for 45 years. Felt like I needed to go put on my human costume. And only in the last two years have I become completely myself, – Page Six quotes the artist.

According to the performer, she was officially diagnosed at the moment when her work was publicly criticized. The musical film of the artist “Music” was ridiculed for the fact that it distortedly shows people with mental disabilities. Sia added that she used to try to hide her problems and features from others. Now she has changed her mind, it only made her feel better.

No one can ever know and love you when you are full of secrets and live in shame. When we finally tell strangers our deepest, darkest, most embarrassing secrets, and everyone laughs with us, for the first time in our lives, we won’t feel like the dregs of society. For the first time in our lives, we will feel that we are being seen for who we really are. And then we can start to go out into the world and just act like people with an open heart and stop pretending,” said the artist.

Now Sia is undergoing treatment, which has a positive effect. The artist also said that the public story of the diagnosis allowed her to get rid of internal stress. The star added that she has been sober for almost 13 years.

Recently, another popular singer, 33-year-old Bibi Rexha, faced health problems. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. Due to illness, the pop diva gained extra pounds. Bibi added that many women have this problem, but few people know about it.
