Will Smith banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years after slapping Chris Rock on stage
Will Smith will not be permitted to attend the Academy Awards for 10 years after slapping Chris Rock during the 94th annual ceremony last month.
Rock may not have even understood that Smith was angry as he approached him.
Which could explain why people thought it looked staged.
Chris Rock Opened up About How He's Overcoming His Learning Disability
In an interview with 'THR,' Chris Rock revealed he thought he had autism, but after undergoing cognitive testing, he learned it was something else.
He decided to seek help when a friend suggested that his inability to pick up on sarcasm could be a symptom of autism. Chris saw a doctor and underwent a nine-hour series of cognitive testing, and he eventually learned that he has a condition called nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD).
Chris has come to realize that his diagnosis predominantly manifests through an inability to pick up on non-verbal signs, an "all-or-nothing" way of thinking, and a manner of taking things too literally. So, by seeing two therapists, Chris says that he is now attempting to work through his limitations, and he's looking at how it has actually taken a huge toll on his life, from the very beginning of his childhood, and throughout his life as a comedian.
"All I understand are the words," he said in the interview.
