As someone on the spectrum who grew up watching BTR as a kid, I find this to be pleasantly surprising news. I also have a crush on Tanya, so it’s cool to know that one of my celebrity crushes is more similar to me than I thought.

I’ve never suspected her to be on the spectrum, but it’s awesome to know that she is on it. I read that many of us on this subreddit are on the spectrum, so hopefully those of you on the spectrum celebrate her coming out like I am.

Finding out that Billy West (a childhood icon of mine) and Anthony Hopkins have autism in my 20s was major. Growing up, the only celebrity I knew about having autism was Dan Aykroyd, so hearing about all of these celebrities being diagnosed later in life has been inspiring.
