Daryl Hannah faced challenges due to her autism but gradually embraced her uniqueness and found ways to thrive in her performing arts career. In a 2013 publication, she candidly talked about her diagnosis as a child and doctors insisting on institutionalizing her against her mother's wish.

Hannah further added how the condition made her "horribly shy and isolated," and how acting saved her, saying:

"I wasted too much time scared, self-conscious, and insecure," Hannah says of her battles. "Life is too short to stress the small things anymore."
