Acclaimed pop star Sia found herself in the middle of a negative publicity whirlwind in 2021, when her filmmaking debut "Music" was widely panned by both movie critics and autism activists for its perceived low quality and self-admitted "ableism."

Flash forward two years and Sia has once again put herself in the headlines this week on an autism-related matter: Speaking on the program Rob Has A Podcast, Sia claimed to actually be on the autism spectrum herself.
"Having a diagnosis or seeking one, or even self-diagnosis, can be a very valuable discovery and tool in your own self-concept and growth."
