Singer Sia reveals she is "on the spectrum"

Sia has revealed she is "on the spectrum." The singer opened up about being what she called "neuroatypical" as well as about being in recovery for substance abuse during a recent appearance on "Rob Has a Podcast."

Sia had revealed last year she went to rehab, saying in a New York Times article the decision came after she received criticism for casting neurotypical actress and dancer Maddie Ziegler in the role of a girl with autism in the 2021 film she directed, "Music."

She told The New York Times the backlash led to her becoming suicidal and she "relapsed and went to rehab." In 2013 she revealed she had been addicted to alcohol and painkillers.
