Elle King Shares Autism Diagnosis

“I keep telling myself whatever this next chapter is, I really want to be present and enjoy it,” the Grammy nominee said. “That’s what I’m trying to do.”

King, the daughter of comedian Rob Schneider and London King, first discussed her diagnosis in May, posting a video of herself singing to Instagram and writing in the caption, “good news is, im autistic.”

In the video, she can be heard singing what appears to be an unreleased track with the lyrics, “What if no one understands me? Will I always be this way? What’s the price to pay for a broken soul? Would I rather die than try to change?”

“I wish I could show you how it feels, but every time I try I’m still so empty. I have had to carry all these failures. Sometimes I just wish that you would let me,” King continued singing. “Oh, I don’t know what will save me from myself. Oh, I don’t know who will save me from myself. Oh lord, who will save me from myself? Oh lord, who will save me from myself?”
