Wentworth Miller has revealed that he has autism.
The “Prison Break” star posted a blank white square on Instagram Tuesday, alongside a lengthy caption explaining that he received a formal diagnosis of autism a year ago.
Calling it “a long, flawed process in need of updating,” Miller, 49, admitted that the news was “a shock but not a surprise.”
The Princeton grad wrote that he will now be “re-examining 5 decades of lived experience thru a new lens.”
Miller, who has been out since 2013, has been open about his mental health struggles and how he tried to kill himself as a teenager.

The pressure was such that he tried killing himself several times.
“I waited until my family went away for the weekend and I was alone in the house and I swallowed a bottle of pills,” he said. “I don’t remember what happened over the next couple of days, but I’m pretty sure come Monday morning I was on the bus back to school pretending everything was fine.”
