The dissenting candidate LREM in the municipal elections of Paris Cédric Villani does not know if he is autistic because he "never felt the need to be diagnosed" but he does not see what "it would change".

"I am autistic I do not know, I never felt the need to be diagnosed and what would it change?" Replied the MP for Essonne to a journalist the Daily show on TMC.

There is "something that drives me crazy, this noise that starts to spread that I have something to hide, that I am insincere," lamented the mathematician, winner of the prestigious Fields Medal, considered the equivalent Nobel Prize in Mathematics

"Always, in all my fights, I went with my heart, with my sincerity, without trying to erase myself, as I am.We are all different, we all have our particularities, sometimes more visible than others ", he still pleaded.

Cédric Villani is in competition, for the conquest of the mayor of Paris, with the official candidate of LREM Benjamin Griveaux.
