Tisha Campbell has revealed that she was recently diagnosed with autism and ADHD at age 57.
Date: September 17, 2026
During an appearance on Way Up with Angela Yee, Campbell explained that the assessment process helped her recognize patterns in her own life and better understand herself.
The revelation comes as Campbell promotes The A Word: A Mother’s Journey Through Autism and Love, a memoir centered on raising her son Xen, who was diagnosed with autism as a toddler.
Campbell has spent years advocating for autism awareness and for families navigating diagnoses, particularly in Black and Latino communities.
Her comments add to a broader public conversation about adults—especially women—receiving autism and ADHD diagnoses later in life.
