An article inDisability Scoop written by Michelle Diament about a famous comedian/actor who thinks he's on the autism spectrum. I think this will be a great awareness builder for autism.

Jerry Seinfeld: I Think Im On The Spectrum

By Michelle Diament

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld says he believes he may be on the autism spectrum.

Seinfeld tellsNBC Newsthat he sees traits of autism in himself, indicating that he isnt the best socially and does not always follow what others are saying.

I think on a very drawn-out scale, I think Im on the spectrum, said Seinfeld, 60. Youre never paying attention to the right things. Basic social engagement is really a struggle. Im very literal, when people talk to me and they use expressions, sometimes I dont know what theyre saying.

The revelation came in an interview to promote a new season of Seinfelds web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Each episode finds the comedian cruising in a different classic car alongside a celebrity pal. Guests have included Chris Rock, Jay Leno, Sarah Jessica Parker and Larry David.

Seinfeld said fellow comedians are the only kind of people that I feel completely relaxed around.

Nonetheless, he doesnt see his autism tendencies negatively.

I dont see it as as dysfunctional. I just think of it as an alternate mindset, he said.
