Tallulah Willis<\/a>‘ autism diagnosis gave her a “level of validation”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tallulah Willis has opened up about her autism diagnosis<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old actress was diagnosed with the neurological and developmental disorder in 2023, and Tallulah actually felt relieved to learn that “these things are not just in [her] head”.<\/p>\n

Speaking to PEOPLE, she shared: “That there’s not a feeling of, ‘Oh, I need to be less.’ Because there’s a sensation of, ‘I’m safe being who I am. I just require a different set of tools to navigate.'”<\/p>\n

Tallulah actually looks at her autism as a “superpower”.<\/p>\n

She added: “I feel very fortunate. And with that comes my responsibility and my desire to continue to create awareness and advocacy, particularly on females getting late-in-life diagnoses.”<\/p>\n

\nTallulah was diagnosed with autism last year, and the actress subsequently admitted that the diagnosis “changed [her] life”.<\/p>\n

\nTallulah – who is the daughter of movie stars Bruce Willis and Demi Moore – shared a throwback video on Instagram from when she was a child, in which the ‘Die Hard’ actor had her in his arms while being interviewed. And as Bruce – who has now retired because he is battling FTD, a form of dementia – was speaking, his daughter rubbed his head and played with his ear.<\/p>\n

\nShe captioned her post: \u201cTell me you’re autistic without telling me you’re autistic [cry laughing emoji] (sic)”<\/p>\n

\nIn the comments, a follower praised Tallulah for her candidness and asked if she was diagnosed as a child.<\/p>\n

\nTallulah – who previously battled anorexia – replied: \u201cActually this is the first time I\u2019ve ever publicly shared my diagnosis. Found out this summer and it\u2019s changed my life. (sic)”<\/p>\n

\nMeanwhile, in another comment to a fan, Tallulah referred to herself as “neurospicy”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
