She suffered from a condition called ‘Apraxia’. Laura Smith, a clinician who specializes in childhood apraxia of speech, resonated with Rousey’s story. According to her, the condition isn’t well-known and even she wasn’t able to recognize when it affected her child.

Rousey has openly spoken about her struggle with apraxia. However, there is yet another famous personality who is suffering from a similar disorder. According to ‘The New Your Times‘, actor Bruce Willis has received a diagnosis of ‘Aphasia’ and hence, wants to step away from his career.
