Karine St-Michel Announces Pregnancy and Opens Up About Autism Diagnosis

Influencer and former reality television contestant Karine St-Michel has announced she is expecting a child, sharing the news alongside a personal update about her recent autism diagnosis. St-Michel publicly revealed her desire for parenthood in recent months, expressing openness to raising a child either alone or with a partner. Billie reports that this pregnancy fulfills a long-held wish.

Journey to Diagnosis

For years, St-Michel navigated life believing she experienced anxiety – including relational, separation, and generalized anxiety – as well as obsessive-compulsive tendencies and behavioral issues. Yet, she learned these were misdiagnoses, a common occurrence for women with autism. After a three-month evaluation process in neuropsychology earlier this year, St-Michel received a formal autism diagnosis, which she says has provided her with a deeper understanding of herself.
