Jerry Seinfeld believes he has autism.
"I think, on a very drawn-out scale, I think I'm on the spectrum," ," the 60-year-old comic told Brian Williams during a Thursday interview on NBC's "Nightly News."
Jerry explained that honing in on the right subject or topic is a challenge for him.

"Basic social engagement is really a struggle. I'm very literal, when people talk to me and they use expressions, sometimes I don't know what they're saying," he explained.
But the former "Seinfeld" doesn't feel like it holds him back.
"I don't see it as dysfunctional, I just think of it as an alternate mindset," he continued.
The "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" creator/star has lent his support to a number of autism charities over the years, including Autism Speaks events and 2012's "Night of Too Many Stars."
