Sia has revealed that she has autism.
The singer and songwriter shared the information in an episode of the "Rob Has a Podcast," which featured Carolyn Wiger, a former contestant on the reality competition "Survivor."During the podcast, Sia hailed Wiger, a drug counselor, and announced that she would be giving the former contestant $100,000 to help her and her son.
Autism spectrum disorder may affect how people interact with others, behave, communicate and learn, according to the National Institutes of Health. In 2021, Sia faced backlash for casting her longtime collaborator, dancer and actress Maddie Ziegler, who is neurotypical, as a character with autism in the movie, "Music."
"I realized it wasn't ableism, I mean it is ableism I guess as well, but it's actually nepotism because I can't do a project without her," Sia said at the time. "I don't want to. I wouldn't make art if it didn't include her."
