autistic

The reality TV star on the show, which is about a group of autistic adults' experiences dating, said Kennedy's comments were "completely false".

Her mother first suspected she was autistic when she was two years old.

In fact, the vast majority of new cases involve children without the intellectual disabilities often associated with stereotypical autistic behavior, such as sensitivities to touch and an absence of verbal skills.

Last month the actor shared they are autistic in an interview with British Vogue.

"Actually, no, that's a lie. I did, because I said that I was neurodiverse before, and then I was like, 'Why don't I just say what it actually is, which is, yeah, I'm autistic."
