Bella Ramsey, known for her role in “The Last of Us,” recently revealed her autism diagnosis in an interview with British Vogue. Ramsey was diagnosed while filming the show in Canada, prompted by a crew member’s observation. Reflecting on their childhood, Ramsey described feeling out of place in school and experiencing sensory sensitivities common among autistic individuals.
Ramsey shared how autism and acting have become intertwined, helping them observe and learn from others in honing their craft. They find comfort in the structure of acting, such as having a call time and being told how to behave on set. Ramsey sees their diagnosis as liberating, allowing them to have more grace for themselves and be their authentic self without feeling the need to hide.
By sharing their diagnosis, Ramsey hopes to unmask immediately and be true to themselves, embracing their experience of navigating the world as an autistic person. Ramsey’s openness about their autism serves as a reminder that there is no reason for people to hide their true selves and that acceptance and understanding are essential.
