Kanye West revealed on The Download podcast that he has been diagnosed with autism after his wife, Bianca Censori, encouraged him to seek a second opinion. West claimed he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016. He said his wife noticed his personality didn't align with typical bipolar traits and took him to the same doctor who treats Justin Bieber. West acknowledged that autism can lead to a singular focus, referencing the film 'Rain Man'. He stated that he stopped taking bipolar medication after realizing the diagnosis was incorrect and emphasized the importance of creativity in his life.
