Tamra Judge is learning more about herself.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star shared that she was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder during her first therapy session.
“I am on the spectrum,” an emotional Tamra said during the Oct. 15 episode of her and Teddi Mellencamp‘s Two Ts In A Pod podcast. “We’re trying to work through that. I have a really hard time processing stuff. I have a lot of sensory issues—sound, light, touch.”
She noted that her diagnosis helped her understand why she felt and behaved the way she did during different times in her life.
“I’m a person that just thought that things were black and white,” the 57-year-old admitted. “I grew up with a family that didn’t have a lot of empathy or love, so I just transpired that into my adult life. But after talking and going through everything and my emotions, I have a hard time with empathy and feeling other people’s feelings.”
