Tallulah Willis, the youngest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, recently shared a personal revelation with her followers.
Bruce Willis, perhaps best known for his role in the «Die Hard» movies, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia just a year after retiring from his acting career. His openness about his condition has inspired his youngest daughter to share her own diagnosis.
A touching childhood memory
The 30-year-old Tallulah recently posted a touching childhood memory on Instagram. In the video, a young Tallulah is seen at a movie premiere, playing with her father’s head while he holds her in his arms.
Opening up about autism
In the caption, Tallulah invited her 408,000 followers to join the conversation:
«Tell me you’re autistic without telling me you’re autistic,» she wrote.
This prompted many loving reactions from followers who praised both her and her father for their close bond and openness about their diagnoses.
Emotional Reactions
One of the most touching comments came from a psychologist who asked if Tallulah had been diagnosed as a child. Tallulah responded:
«This is the first time I’m publicly sharing my diagnosis. I found out this summer, and it has changed my life.»
According to NHS, autism is a developmental disorder that involves difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors and limited interests.
Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis
Bruce Willis was diagnosed with dementia in 2023, a degenerative disorder affecting communication and behavior. One of the first symptoms he experienced was aphasia, which impacts the ability to communicate effectively. His family, including his wife Emma Heming Willis and their two daughters, has provided unwavering support.
Emma described Bruce as a loving and protective father:
«Being in his arms is the safest place in the world. He is a true gentleman with so much love to give.»
Tallulah has not shared further details about her diagnosis yet, but her openness has already inspired many. She encourages her followers to share their own stories and continue the dialogue about autism.
