Bella Ramsey has revealed that they were recently diagnosed with autism. They sought a diagnosis after a crew member on The Last of Us with an autistic daughter assumed Bella was autistic.
Ramsey called the diagnosis 'liberating' and said "It enables me to walk through the world with more grace towards myself about not being able to do the easy everyday tasks that everyone else seems to be able to do.
