Ye has once again said that he has autism and suggested he learned of the diagnosis after his wife Bianca Censori wasn't convinced he had bipolar disorder.
In an interview with Justin Laboy, as seen above, Ye was asked about his 2016 bipolar disorder diagnosis and how he becomes aware of when he's having a mental health episode.
"I watch for it beforehand, but other times it was just like... if you get to the point where it goes, you're gonna stay in that position for a while," Ye replied around the 15:37 point of the interview. "It might go for three days, four days, a week. Some people, if they get into it, you gotta put them in a place that's not in public. It depends on the level of what it is. But another thing is they call it specifically, you know, bipolar."
He suggested that his bipolar disorder diagnosis—which was a major subject on his 2018 album Ye—is something that he's since come to reject.
"They put that on me—I said it," he continued. "I put it on an album. People start calling you n***a, you start calling yourself n***a. You call a girl a bitch, she start calling herself a bitch."
Ye, who told Elon Musk in leaked text messages that his near-fatal car accident in 2002 gave him "signs of autism," said he sought a different diagnosis after Censori convinced him to go to a doctor.
"I went to this doctor, one that worked with Justin Bieber," he said. "My wife took me to do that because she say, 'Something about your personality doesn't feel like it's bipolar. I've seen bipolar before' ... [I came] to find out it's really a case of autism that I have."
Ye also referenced the 1988 comedy-drama Rain Man, in which Dustin Hoffman portrayed a man with autism.
"Autism takes you to a Rain Man thing where you're like, 'Oh man, I'm gonna wear this Trump hat.' Because it's just like Trump in general, and then when people tell you not to do it, you just get on that one point. And that's my problem when fans tell me to do my album a certain way, I'll do it the opposite way just because [sings the opening of 'Can't Tell Me Nothing']."
Ye has shown signs of hyperfixation before, a common symptom of autism, and is famously defiant. It's unclear, however, if he's been diagnosed with autism by a doctor or came to this conclusion after speaking with a health care professional.
