Kanye West = Denies Bipolar Disorder Diagnosis
Before divorcing West, his now ex-wife Kim Kardashian shared his bipolar disorder. “As many of you know, Kanye has [bipolar] disorder,” Kim told her fans. And at the time, she pleaded for “compassion and empathy . . . so that we can get through this,” noted the NY Post.
As a result, some have recalled West’s bipolar disorder diagnosis and used it as the reason for his at times erratic behavior. But now West has decided that the diagnosis is incorrect. And in a new interview, he shared that he might be diagnosed as “slightly autistic,” reported HipHop DX.
However, Kanye also seemed to ramble in his new interview. For instance, he announced, “Like my dad said: ‘You know, they’re gonna smear your name if you’re associated with Hitler.’ Yeah, obviously! Of course, dad. Good idea, thanks a lot.”

Kanye West – Feels Autism Has Become His ‘Superpower’
Alternating between discussing religion and mental health, West also denied those who claim he suffers from a bipolar “episode.” And he added, “The truth is Jesus says love everyone. God says love everyone. For me, I believe that in no way I am not Bipolar, I am not in some kind of episode.”
However, Kanye then announced his new diagnosis. “But I may be slightly autistic-like ‘Rain Man,” added the rapper. “And that’s part of my superpower! That’s the reason why I can produce tracks and design and do so many things.” West continued to list what he feels he cannot accomplish.
“But what I can’t do,” added the rapper. “There’s two things that I can’t do. I can’t accept hate and I can’t hate.”

However, Kanye then attacked China. And he claimed, “We need to bring Christ to China. China control y’all.” He also alleged that “China made this phone and controls this phone and controls the people that you’re gonna give this video to.”
And after more anti-Semitic remarks, West referred to “reports that we might be in outright war, not just a cyber war,” he added. “But an outright war with China within the next five years. People say our greatest threat is China. Our greatest threat is Satan. At all costs, we need to bring Christ to China.”
