Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah revealed she was diagnosed with autism: ‘It changed my life’

A few days before Bruce Willis’ birthday, Tallulah Willisone of the actor’s daughters, said it publicly for the first time he was diagnosed with autism.

The 30-year-old actress, the youngest of three daughters from the Die Hard star’s marriage to Demi Moore, uploaded a video of herself as a child playing with her father and jokingly wrote: “Tell me you’re autistic without telling me you’re autistic”.

In the comments on the post, a psychologist asked her whether she had been diagnosed with autism as a child or as an adult, having noticed that undiagnosed ASD occurred “quite frequently” in girls and women. And she didn’t hesitate to answer him.

“Indeed, This is the first time I have shared my diagnosis publicly. I discovered it this summer and it changed my life.“Willis’ daughter replied.

Tallulah became famous for starring in the FOX reality show Stars on Marswhere he reveals, among other things, that he has suffered from several health problems throughout his life, such as anorexia nervosa, depression, addiction and ADHD.

Bruce’s daughter is part of the actor’s entourage, made up of loved ones who have taken care of him and accompanied him since he was diagnosed with the disease. frontotemporal dementia.

In a post dedicated to her ex-husband on his birthday, Tallulah’s mother, Moore, shared a photo of Bruce and his daughters (the other two are Rumer and Scout).

State of health of Bruce Willis

In March 2022, Bruce’s family announced the actor’s retirement from acting after he was diagnosed with aphasia, a language deficit caused by damage to the left side of the brain, which in turn makes it difficult to read, listen or write.

However, less than a year later, reflecting his advanced cognitive decline, it was revealed that Willis was suffering from frontotemporal dementia. Since then the actor has struggled to recognize his family and, according to the testimony of an uncle, he no longer even recognizes his mother.

At the end of 2023 it was learned that his health would deteriorate more rapidly than normal. Glenn Gordon Caron, his friend and creator of the Moonlight series, spoke to the Washington Post about the actor’s health and what he said was not at all encouraging.

“I try to go see him every month, but I’m not always that good,” he admitted. Additionally, I talk to him and his wife and have an occasional relationship with his three eldest children. “I really tried to stay in his life,” Caron said.

And he explained: “My feeling is that within one to three minutes he knows who I am. “He’s not totally verbal.”

Despite everything, Willis’ wife still hopes that her husband doesn’t continue to get worse. “Today I have much more hope than when I was first diagnosed. Now I understand this disease more and I am connected to an incredible community that supports me”, she wrote some time ago on social media.
