“tell me your [sic] autistic without telling me your autistic."

One commenter wanted to learn more about her journey, writing, per HuffPost:
“Not sure how much of your journey you’ve shared but would love to read more."
In her response, Tallulah revealed the post marked the first time she'd ever shared her diagnosis publicly.
“actually this is the first time I’ve ever publicly shared my diagnosis. Found out this summer and it’s changed my life.”

Last year, Tallulah penned an essay for Vogue in which she revealed her own health kept her from confronting her father's 2022 aphasia diagnosis.
In the essay, she opened up about her struggle with anorexia. While receiving treatment for itat a recovery center in Texas, she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Tallulah shared it became difficult to face what her father was going through.
“I admit that I have met Bruce’s decline in recent years with a share of avoidance and denial that I’m not proud of."
“The truth is that I was too sick myself to handle it.”
After her treatment and BPD diagnosis, though, Tallulah revealed she gained the resources necessary to navigate this new chapter.
“But I now have the tools to be present in all facets of my life, and especially in my relationship with my dad."
“I can bring him an energy that’s bright and sunny, no matter where I’ve been. In the past I was so afraid of being destroyed by sadness, but finally I feel that I can show up and be relied upon.”
“I can savor that time, hold my dad’s hand, and feel that it’s wonderful."
“I know that trials are looming, that this is the beginning of grief, but that whole thing about loving yourself before you can love somebody else—it’s real.”
