In an interview with British Vogue, Bella Ramsey discussed her autism diagnosis, which she received while filming HBO's 'The Last of Us.' A crew member's comment about their autistic daughter prompted Ramsey to seek a formal evaluation. She expressed feeling like a 'weirdo' and a 'loner,' often reflecting on her experiences of hyperawareness regarding others' expressions. Alongside Pedro Pascal, she stars in the series, which has gained critical acclaim for its storytelling in a post-apocalyptic setting.
"I've spoken a bit about neurodivergence before, but I always for some reason didn't want to say what it was. I got diagnosed with autism when I was filming season one of 'The Last of Us.'"
"I felt like a weirdo and a loner and had always wondered if I had autism, since I also had a painful hyperawareness of other people's micro-expressions and body language."
