The diagnosis was “a shock, but not a surprise.”
. The diagnostic process typically involves the help of a specialist, like a neuropsychologist or a psychiatrist, who will ask about challenges in social interactions and any repetitive behaviors, sensory issues, or limited interests, the NIMH says. A person's developmental history may provide useful information here as well.
Although Miller knows that revealing his diagnosis publicly will put him in a position to speak to a wide audience about autism, he says he's still learning about all the nuances of the topic, including turning to people in the autistic and neurodivergent communities on social media. “Right now my work looks like evolving my understanding. Re-examining five decades of lived experience thru a new lens. That will take time,” he says.
Miller also made a point to thank those who've given him “that extra bit of grace and space over the years” and allowed him to “move through the world in a way that made sense” to him, whether or not it made sense to them. Ultimately, Miller says that being autistic is not something he's trying to change about himself. On the contrary, he “got immediately” that it's “central to who I am. To everything I've achieved/articulated.
