Courtney Love, the widow of Kurt Cobain, is a singer and a controversial figure in pop culture who is autistic. Courtney always found school difficult, whether it was in school or socially.

She said in an interview with Rolling Stone in 1994 that When I talked about being introverted,

"I was diagnosed as autistic. At an early age, I would not speak. Then, I bloomed. My first visit to a psychiatrist was when I was, like, three."

Curiously, her late husband, Kurt Cobain, was also neurodivergent; the singer was diagnosed with ADHD in childhood.
