“The Last of Us” star Bella Ramsey
That is why her diagnosis of autism was “liberating”
“The Last of Us” star Bella Ramsey spoke in an interview about the diagnosis of autism. To find out was “liberating”.
Bella Ramsey (21) spoke in a new interview about the diagnosis of autism and explains how the neurological disorder has positively influenced her career as an acting person. “I spoke a bit about neurodiverse before, but for some reason I always didn’t want to …”, the “Last of Us” star opened. “I had the feeling that I didn’t want to say what it was … crap. I was diagnosed with autism when I turned the first season of ‘The Last of Us’.”
During the filming in Canada, a crew member suspected with an autistic daughter that Ramsey was also autistic. So there was an official psychiatric assessment and diagnosis. Something was confirmed that Ramsey has always been “surprised”.
These were Bella Ramsey’s signs of autism
As a child, the “The Last of Us” star in school regularly felt out of place – as a “spinner” and “loner”, who felt more comfortable among adults than among unpredictable peers. There have also been other signs: sensory problems as well as hyper perception of the micro expressions and body language of other people. For example, the heavy waterproof clothing and the thermal pants that had to be worn during the filming in Canada would have very annoyed, according to the series star: “Too much stuff on my body”.
Ramsey also emphasizes that autism makes it easier to act. “I have always observed and learned the people. The fact that I have to learn manually how I can deal with and interact with people around me and helped me with acting,” explains the “Game of Thrones” star.
Autism diagnosis was “liberating”
The routine through working on the set is also very helpful: “I have a time to speak, I am told what to wear and what to eat.” The diagnosis was “liberating”. “It enables me to walk through the world with more self -compassion because I am unable to do the simple everyday tasks that everyone else seems to be able to do.”
Bella Ramsey had outed himself as a gender fluid or non-bistär in January 2023. In the article, Ramsey explained that no certain sexual pronunes prefer to prefer and not like gender -specific assignments.
Ramsey became known to a larger audience as Lyanna Mormont in “Game of Thrones”. Since 2023, the star in the successful post-apocalyptic HBO series “The Last of Us” embodies the figure Ellie Williams alongside Pedro Pascal (49) as Joel Miller.
