Sharing her truth. Demi Burnett revealed that she was diagnosed as autistic after undergoing a psychological test.
The 26-year-old, who appeared in Colton Underwood‘s season of The Bachelor in 2019, shared the announcement via Instagram on Saturday, February 19. She prefaced her candid post with a “trigger warning” just in case.
“I did a psychological evaluation and I’m autistic,” Burnett captioned a photo of herself posing in a funky outfit next to a rack of clothing options. “There is a huge stigma when it comes to autism. I encourage you to be open minded and accepting. Swipe for some “memes” that might be helpful when dealing with an autistic person.”
The images were offered a loot at the autism spectrum, ways to support a neurodivergent person, a definition of ableism, a chart of autistic traits vs trauma symptom and more. The Bachelor in Paradise alum (she appeared in seasons 6 and 7) hopes that her new diagnosis can help others.
“All I want is to have a better quality of life ❤️ I will share more on my story of my evaluation and how I got to this point and all of my pain and struggles along the way,” Burnett promised followers. “I want to make sure anyone who is/was feeling like me can know you really aren’t alone. It can get better! And most importantly it isn’t your fault ❤️.”
The Texas native was met with much support in the wake of her announcement.
“So proud of you always being so brave and strong. A real ass person and that’s why I love you ❤️,” fellow Bachelor Nation member Onyeka Ehie commented.
Kirpa Sudick, who appeared with Burnett on season 23 of the ABC reality show, wrote, “Proud of you girl ❤️.”
BiP alum Maurissa Gunn added, “I love you so much. I’m so proud of you. You’re the most amazing person ever. ❤️”
