While appearing on the Tuesday, November 4, episode of "The Louis Theroux Podcast," the Talking Heads icon, 73, recalled the first time he considered that he may be autistic. "That might have been in the ‘90s or something, there were articles in magazines and things like that about this idea of spectrum," he said.
Recalling the time he first he considered the idea, Byrne shared, "I said, ‘Oh, yeah, I’ve recognized that.' I’ve never thought of it as a disability, but I can see that there’s a part of me that is like that."
Also during the interview, Byrne opened up about the challenges he's faced as someone who may be on the spectrum. He even pointed out that the topic is explored on the song "She Explains Things to Me," which is featured on his 2025 album, Who Is the Sky?
Byrne went on to share that he feels he's become "a lot better at that now than I was in the past."
"I’m a lot more comfortable with people now than I was in the past. So it changes," he said. "I’ll give music credit for that, too."
Byrne concluded the topic by stating that "making music, working with other people on music" and "playing together with musicians on stage" is a very "ecstatic, transcendent kind of social thing" for him. "And I thought, 'Okay, over the years, time passes and you kind of change after a bit,'" he said.
