Tallulah Willis Reveals Autism Diagnosis And Mental Health Struggles

Harry and Meghan attend event marking the World Mental Health Day in New York

Tallulah Willis recently shared on Instagram that she was diagnosed with autism last summer, describing the discovery as life-changing. The youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore posted a childhood video on social media, playfully interacting with her father, along with a caption hinting at her autism diagnosis.

This revelation is not the first time Willis has been open about her health struggles. In a previous essay for Vogue, she discussed her battle with anorexia, which she had been dealing with for four years. Willis also revealed her experience with ADHD and the positive impact of stimulant medication on her life.

Additionally, Willis touched upon her mental health journey in relation to her father's frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. She candidly admitted to avoiding and denying her father's decline due to her own struggles, but expressed a newfound commitment to supporting him as she continues to prioritize her own well-being.

Reflecting on her upbringing in the spotlight, Willis acknowledged the challenges of growing up in a famous family and navigating her own path to self-acceptance. Despite the shadows cast by her parents' fame, she now feels empowered to stand in her own light and embrace her journey towards healing and self-discovery.
