In a recent Instagram post, R&B singer Chrisette Michele opened up to her fans about a life-changing discovery. She revealed that she has been diagnosed with autism, something that has given her a new understanding of her life and the challenges she has faced.
During a performance in Atlanta, the Grammy-winning artist took a moment to share the news of her diagnosis. She posted a photo on Instagram where she was seen on stage, captioning it with the words, "I just learned I'm autistic. Official diagnosis. They used the word 'severely'. I've been quiet on here. But... I've been outside. Singing... but learning to strip the mask. One show at a time."
Michele, who is 42 years old, expressed her surprise at the diagnosis, writing, "Autistic... Would you get a load of that." She also mentioned that she is still trying to come to terms with it and is giving herself time to process everything.
In response to a comment from a fan who questioned if knowing about her diagnosis earlier in life would have affected her career, Michele stated, "Self-awareness is my superpower. It teaches me what to pray for, what to work on, and how to work on it." She also added that having a diagnosis can help her better understand herself and how to make use of her strengths.
Michele's fans and supporters showed their love and support for her in the comments section. While some shared their own stories about autism, others criticized her announcement. Throughout her 15-year career, Michele has been open about her struggles with divorce, cancel culture, and the stigmas surrounding adult ADHD and bipolar type 2.
In 2017, she faced backlash for performing at Donald Trump's inauguration. Despite facing challenges in the public eye, Michele has always handled criticism with grace and stays grounded through prayer and meditation.
Currently, she is on her 2025 tour, promoting her new single "Home." She also hosts a podcast called "Come Back Sis," where she and her friends share inspiring stories and discuss triumphs. While she hasn't shared any further details about her autism diagnosis, she assured her fans that she will talk more about it in the future.
Michele's journey is a reminder that we all have our own struggles and challenges, and it's important to be understanding and supportive of others, no matter what they may be going through. She has also recently launched The Inner Peace Academy, which aims to provide resources and support for those dealing with mental health issues. We wish her all the best on her journey towards self-discovery and inner peace.
