Jerry Seinfeld, famous for Seinfeld and most recently Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, believes he’s on the autism spectrum.

“On a very drawn-out scale, I think I’m on the spectrum,” Seinfeld told NBC’s Brian Williams Thursday.

Williams then asked Jerry why he thinks he’s on the autism spectrum.

“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,” Seinfeld said. “But I don’t see it as dysfunctional. I just think of it as an alternate mindset.”

MTV.com reports that Seinfeld has long been a supporter of fundraising efforts for autism, making, for example, an appearance at 2012’s “Night of Too Many Stars.”

According to the National Institutes of Health, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a range of complex neurodevelopment disorders, characterized by social impairments, communication troubles, and restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior.
