He said he would draw knowledge from the autistic community and hoped to give a voice to the community. Interestingly, the actor shared how he struggled even to get a diagnosis when he was an adult compared to being a child:
"This fall marks 1 year since I received my informal autism diagnosis. A self-diagnosis preceded it. Followed by a formal diagnosis," he said. "It was a long, flawed process needing updating. IMO. I'm a middle-aged man. Not a 5-year-old."
