‘Big Brother 23’ Houseguest Britini D’Angelo Reveals She Has Autism
A big deal was made out of a houseguest being on the spectrum last year and it turns out there is a houseguest with autism in Big Brother 23 as well! During her intro interview, houseguest Britini D’Angelo revealed that she was diagnosed with autism just before she turned two years old.
Autism was a huge topic of conversation last season
Viewers will recall Big Brother 22 player Ian Terry also opened up about being autistic early on in the season. Unfortunately, some of the houseguests had a pretty hard time accepting Ian because he was different. There was even a bullying scandal involving Ian Terry’s autism that caused a massive stir. Fans at home caught several houseguests making fun of Ian because of his autism. Viewers were furious with production didn’t address the bullying and nothing was done about it.
So, for those who were so bothered by the treatment of Ian Terry last season, it is pretty refreshing to see a houseguest on the spectrum again this season.
Britini D’Angelo wants to represent those with disabilities like autism
Big Brother 23 houseguest Britini D’Angelo got a little emotional as she discussed her autism diagnosis. She admitted she had to work five times harder than people around her to get where she was today. She acknowledged that while she may make it look like things are easy for her, that is far from the case. Britini D’Angelo made it clear she hopes to be a representation for anyone with a disability.
