In a heartwarming Instagram post, Tallulah Willis, youngest daughter of Hollywood stars Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, shared a touching childhood memory of her father carrying her on the red carpet. However, the post carried a deeper meaning, hinting at Tallulah’s recent autism diagnosis. Let’s delve into her story and learn more about her condition!
Tallulah’s Instagram video clip showed her as a young child playfully interacting with her father’s head while he spoke to the media at a film premiere. She captioned the clip with the phrase “tell me your autistic without telling me your autistic [sic],” inviting her followers to engage in a conversation about autism.
The response from Tallulah’s 408,000 followers was overwhelmingly supportive and loving. Many shared their own knowledge and experiences with autism, discussing Tallulah’s symptoms and the loving reaction of her father. One user even praised Bruce for his exceptional care, saying, “Your dad is one-of-a-kind honey, and so are you.”
When questioned by a psychologist specializing in neurodivergent conditions, Tallulah revealed that this was the first time she had publicly shared her diagnosis. She discovered her autism diagnosis during the summer, and it has had a significant impact on her life.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that affects social communication, interaction, and behavior. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), individuals with ASD often display restricted or repetitive behaviors and interests. Tallulah’s sister, Scout LaRue Willis, provided further insight by explaining that Tallulah’s actions in the video, such as folding her father’s ear, are a form of stimming. Stimming helps individuals regulate sensory input.
Tallulah’s revelation comes at a challenging time for the Willis family, as they continue to support their father, Bruce Willis, in his battle with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Bruce was diagnosed with FTD, a degenerative condition primarily affecting communication and behavior, in 2023. One of the early symptoms he experienced was aphasia, which affects language skills.

For now, Tallulah has chosen not to disclose further details about her diagnosis. The outpouring of love and support for her speaks volumes about the resilience of the Willis family. Let’s send our best wishes to Tallulah and her family as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.

My Husband Rewrote His Will behind My Back, and I Can’t Forgive Him — Story of the Day

My husband helped me raise my daughters, although he was not their biological father. In the end, he made a huge decision on his own that changed my life and ruined everything.

Years ago, I met Nicholas during the hardest time of my life. I was a single mother and had two daughters to feed. But we fell in love and got married in less than a year. We also moved into the most beautiful home I could imagine.
Nicholas had been divorced in the past and had a son he barely spoke to, Nick Jr. His ex-wife did everything in her power to stop Nicholas from seeing the kid. He hated her attitude and missed his son.

Therefore, he took on a fatherly role with my daughters and became the best dad they ever had. Eventually, they stopped calling him “stepfather.” He was just their dad. But that was more than 20 years ago. My daughters grew up and now have families of their own.

Luckily, my eldest, Darlene, gave us two grandchildren. Nicholas adored those boys, and they visited often. They came for lunch one Sunday, and I wanted to talk to Darlene about something serious. My husband had told me something the night before that I wasn’t sure I could deal with at all.
I thought it was unfair, but I wanted my daughter’s honest opinion. Luckily, Nicholas planned to take the kids to the park. “Ok, Alice, honey. See you later,” he said, giving me a worried look because he knew I had been thinking about last night.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Darlene asked when we were finally alone.
“Oh, Darlene. I don’t know what I’m going to do now. I don’t know if I’m being selfish or what,” I started.

“Tell me. We’ll figure things out,” she told me.
“Last night, your father revealed something that I’m not sure I can forgive. He willed this big mansion to his son, Nick,” I explained.
“What? I thought he hadn’t spoken to Nick in years,” Darlene said, confused.
“He hasn’t! Ever since that big fight where Nick called him all kinds of names because Nicholas wouldn’t give him money,” I added.
“But then, he’s giving him this house? You live here too. You guys are married,” Darlene continued.

“That’s the problem, sweetheart. He just made that decision on his own without telling me anything about it. He showed me the will last night. It has been notarized and everything,” I said. “He is also giving him all the money in his bank account.”

“I can’t believe Dad would do this,” Darlene said. “I mean…I wasn’t expecting anything for my sister or me. But he completely disregarded us…his family for 20 years.”
“That’s how I feel. Like after all this time, we were never his real family! His son has treated him horribly for so long, and I know that his horrible mother influenced him. But still…I don’t know what to do,” I finished and dried the tears running down my face.

“I’m just in shock. You guys have had the perfect relationship for so long. My husband and I talked about it all the time. I can’t believe Dad would do this,” Darlene muttered. “Let me call Rosaline. Let’s see what she thinks.”
“Dad did what?!” Rosaline yelled through the speakerphone. “I can’t believe it. I don’t want his money, but I can’t believe he wouldn’t want Mom to be set for life if anything happens.”

“Yeah, that’s how I feel,” Darlene told her sister. Meanwhile, I was still crying softly.
“Well, I’m sorry. I consider him my father, but I won’t tolerate this. Mom, you have rights to the house and the money. We are taking legal action NOW!” Rosaline exclaimed and hung up.

“I didn’t want to take this any further. He’s my husband, and I know he wants to take care of Nick Jr. because he wasn’t there most of his life,” I told Darlene, hoping that she would convince her sister to back down.
“No, Mom. That wasn’t Dad’s fault or yours. What are you going to do if something happens? You would be left homeless and penniless. Rosaline is right. We have no option unless he changes his will,” Darlene coaxed.

“I’ll try to talk to him,” I said tentatively. But I knew Nicholas. I knew he wouldn’t change his mind. I talked to him that night after Darlene left with her kids. Nicholas wouldn’t budge, so I packed my things and went to stay at Rosaline’s house.

We took him to court but gave him many chances to change his mind. In the end, Nicholas decided to sell the big house and give me half the price. I didn’t want to divorce him, but there was no other option. So I received half our savings as well.
He ruined our relationship. My daughters and I never saw him again. In the end, he didn’t consider us family at all.
