Tallulah Willis revealed Friday that she was diagnosed with autism last summer.
The daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore shared an old video on Instagram of herself stroking her father’s head while walking the red carpet with him and captioned it, “tell me your [sic] autistic without telling me your [sic] autistic 😂.”
One follower praised Tallulah, 30, for posting the clip and asked if she was diagnosed as a child, to which she noted it was the “first time” she had ever publicly shared her diagnosis.
“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,” according to Autism Speaks.
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 intens [sic] 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.”

The Wyllis founder also shared before-and-after photos of her body to show how far she had come in her journey.
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 the “Die Hard” star, 68, grappling 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.
