Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Tallulah diagnosed with autism
The youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, 30-year-old Tallulah Willis, was diagnosed with autism. The heiress of the actor, who suffers from temporofrontal dementia, spoke about this on social networks.
Tallulah posted an archived video of her father from the red carpet, where he holds the girl in his arms while she touches his ear. “Tell me about your autism without telling me about your autism,” the actors’ daughter signed the video.
One follower praised Tallulah, 30, for her candor and asked if she was diagnosed as a child. To which she replied that she found out about him last summer: “It changed my life.” Willis added that this is the first time she has spoken about the disease publicly.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is “a broad spectrum of disorders characterized by problems with social skills, repetitive behavior, language, and nonverbal communication,” according to Autism Speaks.
Tallulah has always been open about her mental and physical health. She previously suffered from anorexia and stated that her treatment "hasn't been easy." Willis recently wrote that she fears the disease will return. "I'm at a point where I romanticize unhealthy times and how I felt throughout the day in a body that size."
While struggling with an eating disorder, Tallulah also dealt with ADHD, depression and borderline personality disorder - the latter of which she was diagnosed with during treatment at Driftwood Recovery in Texas in June 2022.
Despite her health problems, Tallulah lives a full life: she is in a relationship, spends time with her family and attends social events. Recently, Demi Moore's youngest daughter appeared with her mother and sisters at the Vanity Fair party.
