The actress spoke with British Vogue about the illness that sometimes has her tripping and falling over herself due to lack of balance. “If you're a boy with those symptoms, you get an MRI. If you're a girl, you're called 'crazy,'” she said of the signs that appeared early on.

“I looked like a "normal" girl to them but I was Disabled this whole time,” she says of the signs that included losing the vision in her right eye, then the use of her left leg, and eventually control of her bladder by the age of seven.

The symptoms only got worse with age pushing Blair into a depression and a pretty serious case at that. On the brighter side, The Sweetest Thing actress is in remission from the debilitating disease.
