The Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor stated that the reason he disclosed his diagnoses was to let others know that they are “not stupid” if they experience such difficulties.

He wrote that those who struggle are “not alone”, and has been hailed in the replies for his bravery in opening up.

 The Wrexham co-owner’s full Twitter statement read: “I was recently diagnosed with a host of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities! At 46! I go through the full diagnosis/prognosis on the @thesunnypodcast (which drops in 2 weeks) It’s not something I would normally talk about publicly but I figured there are others who struggle with similar things and I wanted to remind you that you’re not alone. You’re not stupid. You’re not ‘bad’. It might feel that way sometimes. But it’s not true.”

McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have been integral to Wrexham’s recent promotion into League Two, with the club returning to the Football League for the first time since 2007/08.
