Bruce Willis' daughter reveals shock new health diagnosis
Tallulah Willis, 30, has revealed that she was diagnosed with autism as an adult.
The daughter of Hollywood stars Bruce Willis and Demi Moore took to Instagram to publicly share the news for the first time.
"Tell me you're autistic without telling me you're autistic 😂," she wrote underneath a throwback video of her playing with her dad's ears during The Whole Ten Yards premiere in 2004.
She continued opening up about her diagnosis in the comments.
"Actually this is the first time I've ever publicly shared my diagnosis," she replied to a follower.
"Found out this summer and it's changed my life," she added with a sun emoji.
According to Health Direct, Autism spectrum disorder is a "lifelong developmental disorder" which affects how people behave and interact with the world around them and "is caused by differences in how the brain develops".
Many fans were quick to comment on the sweet father-daughter bond that her and Bruce share.
"The moment when you look at each other !!! So much was said with just one look ❤" one wrote.
"I love this so much and I love how unfazed he is while you’re playing with his ear. So precious!" another added.
"This is so powerful. The love you share with your papa. He calmed you here, his very body , and that is beautiful. You are beautiful. ❤" a third wrote.
A few others thanked Tallulah for her transparency and sharing her autism diagnosis.
"My son is autistic too. And I love the saying, “you know one autistic person, you know…. one autistic person.” Because everyone is so different. My son had stims that look nothing like this. But that certainly doesn’t discount what calms you! Most importantly tho: thank you for this post," wrote one fan.
"This made me cry! I'm also autistic and felt this through my soul. Die Hard was a favourite movie of my dad's & knowing that you share the same diagnosis as me & so many others warms my heart," another commented.
Tallulah has always been candid about her mental and physical health, as she recently opened up about her experience with anorexia nervosa and told her followers that recovery is not linear and can sometimes be "messy."
