Comedian and television personality is opening up about his autism diagnosis.
Funches, who starred on Season 4 of The Traitors, took to Instagram to share the news.
“Well, the internet told me I was autistic and was right. You win this round. Still not gay yet,” he wrote in a Story Thursday.
He also offered his gratitude for the show itself for “helping me find out more about me through some type of cruel trauma.”
On Threads, he said that he’d previously considered himself “just an ally and parent of an autistic chid.”
His son, Malcolm, 21, also has autism.
“But the way I felt I wasn’t being comprehended or understood while I thought I was being direct and seeing some of my own mannerisms made (me) start the process of going to get a diagnosis,” he said, per US Weekly.
Thursday’s episode of The Traitors saw Funches voted off.
