Anyone else think this girl might be an Aspie? She certainly seems shy, awkward, and detached all the time.

I remember when I interviewed Heather from America's Next Top Model. I haven't seen this cycle though. Here's the link if you're interested:

I've never watched this programme but I just found her on youtube & from watching part of her uploaded "Random things" video she certainly doesn't come across as aspie to me, what do you guys think?

She doesn't strike me as an aspie or anyway autistic, it's pretty hard to say from appearance, but there is no empathical distance in her eyes like Heather - it's pretty much the one thing that's not fakeable through acting for autistic people I know.

The empathical distance is not unique to autism, so you know.
It's maybe a tad difficult to explain what that empathic distance is, but i've found a few non-autistics who knew what I meant. I'd suggest a empathic person irl and ask about how she looks from here eyes based upon a couple of pictures.

I dont think so. I didnt watch that season of ANTM but in I watched an interview with her and her eye contact just seemed very NT. The way she spoke was pretty NT. She maybe a bit of a geeky but i dont think so. She made really good eye contact. She seemed very engaging.
