Tallulah Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, confessed that she was recently diagnosed with autism last summer.
Tallulah shared an old video on Instagram of herself stroking her father’s head while walking on the red carpet and captioned it, “Tell me your autistic without telling me your autistic 😂.”
One of her Instagram followers praised her for posting the clip and asked if she was diagnosed as a child. Talullah responded it was the first time she had ever spoke out about having autism and that she only just found out.
“Found out this summer and it’s changed my life,” Tallulah replied before describing herself as “neurospicy” in a separate comment.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is “a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication.
Tallulah always has been candid about her mental and physical health, having recently shared how her recovery from anorexia has sometimes been messy.
“I’m having an intense moment of romanticizing unhealthy times and how it felt to move through the day in that size body,” she wrote on Instagram last month. “Just wanted to voice it because I know (hope) I’m not alone.”
Tallulah shared before and after photos of her body to show how far she has come in her journey to be healthy.
While battling the eating disorder, Tallulah also dealt with ADHD, depression and borderline personality disorder, the latter of which she was diagnosed with while in treatment at Driftwood Recovery in Texas in June 2022.
She stayed at the treatment center for four months at the behest of her parents despite her father Bruce, 68, battling with his dementia diagnosis.
“I realized that what I wanted more than harmony with my body was harmony with my family, to no longer worry them, to bring a levity to my sisters and my parents,” she shared.
