My daughter wasn’t officially diagnosed until age 20. The school years were a nightmare, I knew and she knew she was different and was struggling. I had zero support from our small hick town school district no matter how much I asked. Good for Tellulah for bringing this to awareness.
I feel you. I’m pretty sure my daughter is but she is still undiagnosed. School was so challenging…and she was ostracized by girls her age…I begged the girls to explain to me when my daughter was in 5th grade why they thought she was different…she’s done so well but I feel it would be easier for her if she was diagnosed…she is 21…
Did being diagnosed help your daughter to overcome her problems? My son is 19 and he struggles with communication. Making conversation is very hard for him, so he has struggled making friends. I've had him evaluated, but they said he did not fit the pattern.
@@nena200able being diagnosed as an adult did not help her. It was nice to finally know what we had been dealing with for so many years had a reason.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 43... finally put my life into perspective. My life makes sense now. Thank you Tallulah for bringing awareness to this. You are Amazing for using your platform for good. ❤
I'm 59 and in the process of being diagnosed. I have felt different my entire life and have always thought I was broken too. It's good to have some answers.
The Willis girls were raised for the most part in Idaho. They lead real lives outside the glitz of Hollywood. Demi and Bruce are to be commended for that choice. It paid off.
Yep. Bruce and Demi were among the first celebrities to buy land up here and build a home (IIRC). It is quite beautiful in the northernmost part of the state, and not overpopulated...yet. It's 5AM so I don't have brain function, so the only other celeb I can think of that has a house up here is the late Legend, Patrick Swayze.
My son is 21 and was diagnosed pretty recently. He is also high functioning. The diagnosis was so freeing for him. It’s so awesome that Tallulah is using her platform to share her story. Not just girls, boys too.
How did being diagnosed help your son? Can you share? My 19 year old son has always struggled with communication (making friends and reaching out for help if he were to need anything) and I've had him evaluated, but I've been told he doesn't fit the pattern. So I'm wondering how being diagnosed would help someone.
I was about to be kicked out of dental school. I felt broken too. But at the age of 27 I was diagnosed with Auditory Processing Disorder. I can relate to her bc I wasn't diagnosed until adulthood and felt broken. Thank you Ms. Willis.
I’m so glad that more people are coming out talking about a diagnosis that exists in such a big community now. It’s refreshing they definitely need more recognition. Lovely lady good for her.
What a lovely, beautiful, well spoken young woman. Oh my Tallulah you're a delight in this world. My heart goes out to you and your family for your Dad's struggles.
What a humble kind and brilliant woman ❤Demi & Bruce must be so proud of her and very well spoken. Praying for Bruce and for u 🙏😇what a beautiful family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can relate to her so much. I am 46 on my own journey to a diagnosis after my three boys have been diagnosed. I grew up being told I was different and feeling like I don’t fit in. I relate 💯
My daughter was diagnosed with ASD in her early 30’s. There was such a sense of relief that she finally understood why she struggled for so long. This is so common, and alarming that so many women are struggling with a wrong diagnosis. Beautiful young woman.
I just lost my dad & I'm 31. I'm glad he never went through something as devastating as aphasia. My heart goes out to this whole family. Cherish every day you get with him.
Tallulah Willis is beautiful!! What an exemplary woman, who has overcome so many obstacles and challenges in her young life. Her smile and effervescent personality is charming, she is honestly, pure hearted, and a wonderful daughter. I want to wish her all the happiness in the world.
Good for you, that you got a diagnosis that helps you & other people that are in the same boat. You’re a great person & I appreciate the work you’re doing on the show. Here’s to a successful career & your a winner in life, so bravo, young lady!
Good for her, though I wish she weren't working with Auti$m Speaks. Hopefully she listens to other people on the Spectrum about what to look out for, and what to pursue.
I guess people think because they have the word in their name that you can trust them. Nope. People need to read Steve Silberman's book, may his memory be a blessing.
Same here. It's interesting that she said her issues were more sensory, but I thought that was a co-occurring problem and that the social element was more of the basis for diagnosis. Just to be clear, I'm not being critical of her in any way. I'm just confused about the symptoms too.
Tallulah seems so sweet and genuine. I've seen pictures of her over the years but haven't heard her interviewed. I commend Bruce and Demi for raising what seems like grounded children in Hollywood. I'm glad she found a diagnosis for her condition and I love the relationship she has with her father!! ❤❤
Thank you for sharing. Our son is high functioning and it’s truly refreshing to see people with a platform share their diagnosis and see it as a gifting not a deficit.
I think it would be helpful to talk about how this manifests and not just the emotions after diagnosis. That's what will really help if someone feels like they have some severe symptoms they're suffering from.
She’s great and I’m happy to see her on here - however, I’m surprised no one has commented yet on her mention of “functioning”, she’s still learning and all, but it’s harmful to use those terms. Just putting it out there for those who aren’t aware. Hope we can see more of Tallulah in the spotlight! 💕
She is a delightful, extremely bright, and well-spoken young woman. Her story is bound to help to many individuals, families, and their loved ones. Her family must be so very proud of her.
Congrats to tallulah. I got diagnosed with ADHD at 25 and I’m 38 now and my cousin recently at 48 and there is plenty more of us than we know, but I’ve always had an issue with being diagnosed and kinda wished I wasn’t and let me live as I am. I hope the best for you and bring awareness to the issue and hey to your dad. I hope he’s happy and healthy. My uncle has aphasia too.
Very high functioning indeed. I have a very good friend with a 30 year old young man she has at home. He can speak, but not always. Shouts/yells, hits. Goes to a special adult day care. Now finally has a special needs person come to the house 20 hours a week which was a huge fight through the state for them to get this help. Lots of red tape. The parents are in their 50's so as they get older they are looking for a full time facility for him when they are gone. Heartbreaking. I'm glad she is high functioning. A beautiful and smart woman.
I'm high functioning, and I'm clocking MANY signs in her. Bless her, for being a voice for women who are misdiagnosed and finally rightfully diagnosed at a later age ❤
Tallulah, congrats on your correct diagnosis, I hope it continues to open the world to you and you’re able to come to full acceptance of yourself. Thanks for sharing your story.
It's actually beautiful to see someone say 'congrats' here. There's still so much stigma and reframing what this condition means - as Tallulah is doing, and as you're doing with that 'congrats' - is really powerful.
grace!!! Love it, be gentle and compassionate with ourselves...or we can't do it in a healthy way with others, YOU are so brave and courageous sweet girl!!!!! I love your family!
Going through my own diagnosis as a 29 year old woman after years of misdiagnosis. I feel so much less alone after hearing your story. Thank you Tellulah 💞
I think you're asking a very important question. To me it looks like coming out tell everyone about your struggles without actually telling about those struggles. Also, the primary point of diagnosis is to get treatment. We go to health care providers to obtain treatment for what ales us and the is no need to go see a psychiatrist or doctor if we think we are fine and there is nothing wrong with us.. but what I'm saying here isn't going to liked by those who are seeking diagnosis for other reasons.
High Functioning adult women tend to either be under-diagnosed or undiagnosed for years, if at all. We present completely differently and learn to "mask" very early.
I hoped the same honey, when I was late life diagnosed at 52 after a LIFETIME of being misdiagnosed and bullied. I had hoped family and friends would understand me better, like I finally understood myself. Only to realise that, while my true friends who knew me my entire life said "Oh, that actually makes perfect sense" others stared blankly at me for a moment then went back to their day per usual and some people, actually laughed in my face and said no way. I still get adult bullied but, I stay to myself more often and give myself grace. We have to be the voices who bring awareness now.
Coming from someone who was never diagnosed at 36 but thinking that I may be.. I definitely feel you. Growing up felt like I couldn't fit in anywhere no matter how hard I tried. Kids in my neighborhood never understood me or even in school. I had my few friends but bullying still happened off and on. My co workers are awesome now but before them...others literally made me feel like something was wrong with me. It's still a struggle but I'm slowly learning more about myself.

@@Amba_Gyuwity I totally get it. Sometimes I have to keep reminding myself I'm an adult and I have to stop feeling a certain way. Sometimes I think it's because I didn't get to experience alot like most people my age over the years. It's a working progress but I'm doing my best.
I didn’t get my Asperger’s diagnosis until age 50. I can relate to her for sure. It’s so frustrating not knowing what is wrong and being constantly mis-diagnosed.
That is wonderful that she is being public about this. So many young adults are being diagnosed in their 20’s. It is such a huge spectrum, so it’s wonderful for people to see you can be high functioning like her and still feel different.
She's such a genuine, well spoken and empathetic young woman. Bruce and Demi raised a wonderful daughter.

I didn’t get my Asperger’s diagnosis until age 50. I can relate to her for sure. It’s so frustrating not knowing what is wrong and being constantly mis-diagnosed.
She is the spit of her dad. ❤❤❤❤ What a wonderful person she has s.
That is wonderful that she is being public about this. So many young adults are being diagnosed in their 20’s. It is such a huge spectrum, so it’s wonderful for people to see you can be high functioning like her and still feel different.
20's, 30's, and beyond. I was 51 when I was diagnosed.
