‘Prison Break’ star Wentworth Miller shares details of his autism diagnosis
Actor Wentworth Miller reveals that he was diagnosed with autism last year.

The 49 year old actor took it to Instagram to share the news of his diagnosis as an adult, "I'm a middle-aged man. Not a 5-year-old. And (it's a 'both/and') I recognize access to a diagnosis is a privilege many do not enjoy,” he wrote.
The American actor says that although the diagnosis came as a ‘shock’, it was no ‘surprise’. "There is a now-familiar cultural narrative (in which I've participated) that goes, 'Public figure shares A, B and C publicly, dedicates platform to D, E and F,'" he added.
‘’Good for them. /srs. And (it's a 'both/and') that's not necessarily what's going to happen here,” he wrote.
He admits that he does not know enough about autism: "Right now my work looks like evolving my understanding.”
"Re-examining 5 decades of lived experience thru a new lens. That will take time. Meanwhile, I don't want to run the risk of suddenly being a loud, ill-informed voice in the room. The #autistic community (this I do know) has historically been talked over. Spoken for. I don't wish to do additional harm. Only to raise my hand, say, 'I am here. Have been (w/o realizing it).'"
“If anyone's interested in delving deeper into #autism + #neurodiversity, I'll point you toward the numerous individuals sharing thoughtful + inspiring content on Instagram, TikTok... Unpacking terminology," he went on.
"Adding nuance. Fighting stigma. These creators (some quite young) speak to the relevant issues more knowledgeably/fluently than I can. (They've been schooling me as well),” he wrote. “This isn't something I'd change. No. I get - got - immediately being autistic is central to who I am. To everything I've achieved/articulated,” he further added.
He ended the post by thanking, "the many (many) people who consciously or unconsciously gave me that extra bit of grace + space over the years, allowed me to move thru the world in a way that made sense to me whether or not it made sense to them.”
