Muni Long disclosed last year that she had been diagnosed with lupus; however, she has since disclosed information on an additional ailment that she feels exacerbated the inflammatory disease. Muni said, “So apparently I’m autistic, and my free self is the version of me that I began repressing at the age of 22 because it made people highly uncomfortable. It started first with me doing insane amounts of drugs and then when that didn’t work I just held it in. Which led to lupus.” She continued, “And now the lupus has gotten to a point where it’s effectively impossible to contain. And in order to free myself from the rollercoaster that is autoimmune disease, I have to let my emotions, thoughts and feelings out…. But…. Autism! OMG WTF THIS IS SO WACK [weeping emoji].” She added, “But at least knowing I am autistic explains SO MUCH.”
