Madison says on the podcast that she was recently diagnosed with autism. according to Helsingorg No Autism is a developmental disorder that includes difficulties with social interaction, communication, repetitive behavior, and limited areas of interest.
– Doctors told me that I am high-functioning, which means that I can live my life and do things normally, she says in the podcast, adding that she is not a spokesperson for all people with autism.
The former Playboy model explains that she can look back at her childhood and see the signs that point to the diagnosis she has received now.
The Playboy Mansion was like a religious cult
– I’ve had doubts for a while, because my mother said she suspected I might have it, she says.
Social tags
Furthermore, the 43-year-old explains that she was always struggling to “keep up” socially, and that she didn’t always look at things in the same way as others around her.
For a long time I thought it was because she moved from Alaska to Oregon and things were different from one place to another.
She also admits that the diagnosis led to difficulties, such as being seen as rude or unattractive by others.
– Shock
– Please don’t take it personally if I don’t fully comply with all social cues. “I’m not on the same wavelength as you,” she says.
