Anthony Hopkins says his wife thinks he has autism – but he believes it’s all nonsense.

Anthony Hopkins’ wife Stella Arroyo believes the 87-year-old Oscar winner – her husband of 22 years – may have autism.

In a new interview to promote his memories, We’re good, baby, Hannibal The star admitted that his wife, 69, once told him that some of his habits fit “Ausberger’s” criteria.

“I love numbers. I love details. I love things in order. And memorization,” Hopkins said. The Sunday Times. Stella looked at him and said, You must have Asperger’s.

“I didn’t know what she was talking about. I couldn’t even believe it,” he continued to his wife.

Asperger’s syndrome is a diagnosis that was previously given to some autistic people. The term has been combined with other conditions such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). People with ASD may experience social and communication problems, obsessive interests, and repetitive behaviors.

Despite what the interviewer said Silence of the Lambs Hopkins was still not convinced that the later diagnosis showed any benefit.

“Well, I guess I’m pessimistic because it’s all lies,” he said. “It’s all a lie. ADHD, OCD, Asperger’s, blah, blah, blah. God, it’s called life.”

“It’s just human, full of tangled webs and secrets and stuff. Full of poisons and filth and craziness, that’s the human condition. All these labels. I mean, who cares? But it’s fashionable now.”

at the We’re good, babyHopkins recalls being separated from his 57-year-old daughter Abigail, who he shares with his first wife, Petronella Barker. The two have been separated for more than 20 years, with the actor previously admitting that he “wasn’t a good father.”

Hopkins left his family one night in a drunken state. Abigail was just a man then. She and Barker later divorced in 1972.

He wrote that “After realizing I was unfit to be Abigail’s father, I vowed never to have any more children…I could never do to another child what I did to her.”

When Hopkins regained consciousness, he tried to contact Abigail and his mother in 1977.

“They didn’t want to be there,” he recalled. “During the meal, they catch each other’s eyes and make faces. Abigail never forgives me for leaving my childhood family.”

He wrote that his separation from Abigail was “the saddest fact of my life and my greatest regret … it is my real hardship … I hope my daughter knows that my doors are always open to her … I want her to be well and happy.”
