Rob McElhenney issues health update as he says he's been diagnosed with 'a host' of conditions

Rob McElhenney, co-owner of Wrexham FC and a famous face in Hollywood, has disclosed that at the age of 46 he was given a diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities. He announced the personal news on Twitter, where he was flooded with support by fans.

"I was recently diagnosed with a host of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities", he wrote. "At 46! I go through the full diagnosis/prognosis on the @thesunnypodcast (which drops in 2 weeks). It’s not something I would normally talk about publicly but I figured there are others who struggle with similar things and I wanted to remind you that you’re not alone. You’re not stupid. You’re not 'bad'. It might feel that way sometimes. But it’s not true :)"
