    Only the NFL Network broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year long, exclusively for NFL fans. With exclusive live games, Thursday Night Football, in-depth fantasy insights, breaking news, and NFL original programming, NFL Network is the perfect place for football fans.

    However, they are seeing one of their own go through a life-changing experience.

    Rachel Bonnetta, former NFL Network and Fox Sports television host, revealed Wednesday that she has autism:

    Bonnetta, 33, joined Fox Sports in 2016, where she hosted a number of shows, including Fox Bet Live. After leaving Fox Sports, he moved on to NFL Network in 2021, serving as, among other things, a host for sports-betting content and NFL GameDay View and a fill-in host on Good Morning Football.

    Bonnetta left sports media in 2023 to become a stand-up comedian. She maintains a strong social media presence, and announced her autism diagnosis today on Instagram.

    “I am autistic🙂,” Bonnetta wrote. “I was diagnosed a few months ago and it has completely changed my life and the way I understand it.

    “I have always felt so much confusion about who I am, what I feel and why I feel the way I feel and I finally got the answers I’ve been looking for since I was a kid.”

    Bonnetta went on to say she has been on “a journey” the last eight months to explore the inner-workings of her brain.

    After undergoing rounds of testing, the Orono, Ontario, Canada native says she was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, OCD, ADHD and PTSD.

    Bonnetta also took exception to a recent news story about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is seeking to find a cause to the autism “epidemic.”

    She included a screenshot of a headline about that topic in the carousel of her post and mentioned RFK Jr. in the caption.

    Here is her full Instagram post:
