Susan Boyle diagnosed aspergers

[total-recoil]

Someone texted me to say Susan Boyle has been diagnosed with aspergers. This has been a great comfort to asperger societies and communities worldwide, given negative perceptions of us over the year. Initially it was believed Susan Boyle had brain damage caused by a difficult birth delivery and she did go through much of her life in Scotland thinking she had brain damage. She was also a loner with no boyfriend and had no other job apart from cleaning and spells unemployed.
For those of you who never saw this, here is Susan Boyle's appearance on XFactor:
Susan Boyle's first audition in Britain's Got Talent - YouTube
P.S. I have a feeling the panel did know how good she was before this audition and they deliberately made her seem like an underdog, knowing the audience would be shocked.

Yes, I read about this the other day. I thought that was cool news. I also read somewhere recently that actress Daryl Hannah also revealed that she is an aspie too.

I recently posted about that in this thread:
