The Hollywood handsome man Wentworth Miller (49) became famous when he hijacked the lead role in the award-winning series “Prison Break” in 2005. In the drama series, he played the role of Michael Scofield, a guy who deliberately sends himself to prison to help his brother escape.
After the series, Miller has received a lot of attention, not least because of his great looks.
In 2013, he came out as gay, and has since been open about problems growing up.
Hints about a new season
Shock, but not surprised
This week, he also opened up about his hitherto unknown diagnosis, according to People. He did this on Instagram in a post he started like this:
“As for everyone, quarantined life took something from me. But in the silence / isolation I found unexpected gifts. This autumn it is one year since I received my informal autism diagnosis ». After that, he has been diagnosed by a specialist.
According to Lommelegen autism includes several different diagnoses that are related to each other. Autism spectrum disorders include a group of pervasive developmental disorders that are characterized by deviations within communication patterns as well as social interaction.
Patients with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders are usually also characterized by limited and stereotyped behaviors, activities and interests.

The actor says that he was diagnosed with autism as an adult. However, this is not something he wants to change, as he believes autism has been central to forming who he is and what he has achieved.
“I recognize that access to a diagnosis is a privilege many do not like. Let’s just say it was a shock. But not a surprise ».
Furthermore, the actor writes that he does not want to be a loud, uninformed voice who speaks for autistic people, as autistic people have often been talked over, or spoken for. He emphasizes that he does not want to do any further harm, but only say that he is there.
Appears with “invisible” disease
Will fight stigma
Miller refers those who are interested in reading more about autism to people who share thoughtful and inspiring content on various social media – to learn more and fight stigma.
«I also want to say thank you to the many (many) people who consciously or unconsciously gave me extra space over the years, and allowed me to move through a whole world in a way that made sense to me, regardless of whether it made sense to them ».
