Tuesday Vargas, a well-known comedian, made headlines after sharing a heartfelt and deeply personal post on Facebook, where she revealed the "10 things most people don't know" about her.

She began her post by opening up about her family background, saying that she is the eldest child and spent 11 years as an only child. "I was an only child for 11 years born to an OFW mom and a stay at home dad," Tuesday shared. Because of this family setup, she learned independence at an early age. "I sold yema, brownies, and even ukay as early as 9 years old when we moved to Sta. Cruz from Tondo in Almeda St. so I can have baon," she revealed in her now-viral post on the app.

The comedienne also disclosed that she was diagnosed with high-functioning autism and ADHD at just 12 years old. "Back then there was little to no studies about this condition in women. Most were done on men. I didn't take meds, I did cognitive behavioral therapy," she explained online.

Halfway through her post, Tuesday admitted that she had endured a difficult past. "I suffered through different kinds of abuse growing up. But that calls for a different post. I can't discuss as of the moment all these things in detail. Please pardon me for keeping this one to myself muna at the moment," she said, briefly apologizing to netizens for not sharing enough details about it.

Since then, she has committed herself to therapy, particularly during the pandemic when her condition worsened. "I have been in therapy since 2018. More intensely during the pandemic when my condition worsened. Now I suffer from generalized anxiety, PTSD and panic attack disorder which I am currently working on. I tried to unal*ve myself twice," Tuesday revealed.
