Taylor Swift is considered to be one of the most popular singers and songwriters of her time. The global icon has made a career out of writing personal lyrics about her life and romances and setting them to music. Fans can’t seem to get enough of the singer. She is currently selling out dates on her Eras tour left and right. Swift has also amassed a huge fanbase, who call themselves Swifties. Those fans are ride or die for the singer. This week, it was revealed that one doctor is diagnosing the singer with Autism after researching her life, work, and habits. Of course, her fans have plenty to say about that.
According to The Things, Dr. Kim Gillbee, PhD is opening up about Swift’s behavior, claiming that the singer is “likely autistic.” Gillbee researched the singer’s public behavior, dating history, and songs to come to this conclusion. Meanwhile,tThe doctor even went as far as to hypothesize that the singer wouldn’t have the successful career that she does today if she had gotten help for her possible issues.
Doctor Claims Taylor Swift Is Likely Autistic
“Now, through my training and working with people for so many years, I’ve developed a pretty good bulls**t meter,” said Gillbee before listing three controversial opinions about Taylor Swift. “Although not possible to diagnose anyone without a proper assessment, my impression, based on clinical experience, is that Taylor is likely on the autism spectrum.”
Dr. Gillbee went on to explain that Swift often seems to exhibit signs of hyper focus as well as a “childlike quality.” The drive to achieve her career goals as well as find the perfect romantic partner is credited for helping form Gillbee’s opinions.
“[Swift] has relentlessly pursued her goal of making it as a country singer. Her music also suggests that boys and dating are a particular hyper focus within Taylor’s life,” the doctor stated.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift fans have spoken out about the online health diagnosis by a doctor who hasn’t treated the singer. “Saying Taylor has autistic traits is wildly offensive and invasive,” one person tweeted. However, others tend to agree with the opinions of Dr. Gillbee. “Taylor Swift is also probably autistic,” one comment read.
It clearly doesn’t matter to fans what issues Swift may or may not have. She’s become an icon to millions around the world. However, fans love her songs and support her for who she is and what she does.
