Singer Robbie Williams believes he may have Asperger Syndrome.

Asperger Syndrome falls under the Autism spectrum disorder and is a condition that affects someone's social skills.

Speaking on BBC Radio 2, the 44-year-old said, "There's something missing in me, I have big blind spots. Maybe Asperger's or autism. I don't know what spectrum I'm on I'm on something."
The singer also opened up about living with mental illness, revealing, "It's quite hard work being in my head I have an interesting compulsion, addiction, mental illness, I'd say."
Crediting his wife Ayda Field and their two children for helping him manage his mental health, the singer said, "Day-to-day, things change. I do the same things as the day before, but today's a different day and I don't know why it's difficult to get out of bed. It's just who I am."
