The actress revealed it was when her daughter Birdie was being assessed that she realised she may also have the condition. “My older daughter was having some issues in school and we took her to be evaluated. And literally in the evaluation, my ex-husband, Marc (Silverstein), we were looking at each other because everything the doctor was asking Birdie and talking about, I was like, 'But that's me. That's what I have'.” Busy Phillips / Us Weekly. She said once she knew what to look for, the signs had been there her whole life.
