Ni-reveal ni award-winning director Jason Paul Laxamana na na-diagnose siya ng “Asperger's Syndrome.”
“Yesterday, I got diagnosis that I am on the autism spectrum. I have Asperger's Syndrome,” pahayag ni Laxamana sa kaniyang Instagram post nitong Linggo, Agosto 6.
Ibinahagi rin ng batikang direktor na umiyak siya pagkatapos ng session niya sa psychiatrist hindi umano dahil sa malungkot siya sa kaniyang nalaman, kundi dahil sa wakas ay mas naintindihan na raw niya ang kaniyang sarili.
“I cried after my session with the psychiatrist, not because I am sad, but because I am relieved to finally know how I'm built as a human being, and relieved to finally understand my experiences in life for the past decades, especially those times I suffered mentally and felt like an odd entity in society,” kuwento ni Laxamana.

“Now I can finally take care of my special needs, assert and demand them as much as possible, and avoid situations that do not serve my best interest,” saad pa niya.
Si Laxamana ang tumayong direktong sa ilang mga pelikulang Pilipino tulad ng “100 Tula Para Kay Stella, “Just a Stranger,” “Between Maybes,” at “The Day After Valentine’s.”
