On November 6, 2014, Brian Williams interviewed famous comedian Jerry Seinfeld as he opened up about autism and said he thinks he is on the spectrum. During the Nightly News, the audience has seen the comedian's serious side. He is known for finding humor in just about everything under the sun but this time, he really sat down and talked about the brevity of the disorder.
Seinfeld was also honest enough to voice out that at his age, he is still figuring out his real identity. He made this statement because lately, he was noticing some signs of autism that is present in him. He thinks if he will look at his life closely, he would believe that he is indeed among those people who have autism.
The comedian went in depth on the things that he has been experiencing with autism like when people are trying to talk to him and he just couldn't understand what they are trying to say especially when they are using some expressions. However, he doesn't see that as something wrong but he thinks that it is just a different perspective. He has been supporting charities that hold events for autism and he also makes it a point to really be a part of the movement.
He started in the business doing standup comedies in bars until he rose to fame from starring on the hit TV show back in the 90's called Seinfeld. He is still known for his work ethic because until now, fans would still be able to catch him in local stages in New York City doing what he does best, which is standup comedy.
He said that still doing comedy is something that is healthy for him to do since he is very passionate about it. For him, it is important that you are focus on what interests you than focus on your financial situation because the latter could make you not fulfill your goals.
