Tallulah Willis, the daughter of actor Bruce Willis, shared a video of herself on the red carpet with her dad when she 10 years old to show an early sign that she was on the autism spectrum.

Tallulah Willis, daughter of actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, revealed in an adorable throwback Instagram post that she is autistic.

Tallulah shared a video of herself with her dad at the 2004 premiere of The Whole Ten Yards. In the video, she can be seen playing with Bruce's bald head and ears while he was being interviewed on the red carpet.


The now-30-year-old fashion designer captioned her post:

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

You can see below.

Viewers of the post applauded Tallulah for sharing her diagnosis, and they, in turn, shared their support.

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 it at 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.”

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
