Sam Thompson has revealed he has been diagnosed with autism, aged 32.

The presenter and I’m a Celebrity winner has been open about receiving a late diagnosis of ADHD as an adult in 2023, as well as struggles with anxiety in the past.

He has now shared he is autistic in a video shared to his Instagram on Sunday (25 May).

“You got diagnosed with ADHD in your late twenties, but something doesn’t add up...” he wrote in text over the footage of him walking down a street with another version of himself labelled “ADHD”.

Knew there was more to the story,” captioned the TV personality.

He was flooded with hundreds of comments of support on his post, with one person writing: “A guy not being afraid to speak up and share his diagnosis and doing it with humour, is a superpower in my opinion. That kind of openness will definitely help others on their journey too.”

Another wrote: “Welcome to the gang, life truly makes sense from this point onwards!”
