Sir Anthony Hopkins Denies Autism Claims Amid Wife's Comments

Sir Anthony Hopkins, at 87, has addressed speculation about being on the autism spectrum, prompted by observations from his wife, Stella Arroyave, regarding his obsession with numbers and order. Despite these traits leading Stella to suggest he might have Asperger's syndrome, Hopkins dismisses the diagnosis and similar neurodivergence labels as "nonsense" and a modern societal trend or fashion. He expressed skepticism about the proliferation of conditions like ADHD, OCD, and Asperger's, considering them part of the human condition rather than distinct disorders. Hopkins also shared his feelings of embarrassment about his acting career, downplaying his work compared to manual labor and service jobs, and emphasized his humble attitude toward his knighthood. Additionally, he revealed past struggles with anger and alcohol addiction but remains critical of psychiatric labels and treatments. His reflections on life, identity, and societal trends appear in his recent memoir, "We Did OK, Kid."
