A model of South Sudanese heritage from Canada I found attractive, but I think she has Autism/Aspergers. Heather Kuzmich may have not been the only one who has Autism. Evangeli has absolutely NO diagnosis, but I want you to judge for yourselves.


For one thing, she's a good painter:

But it's not just painting that makes her possibly have Autism/Asperger's:

This quote may or may not convince you:

Quote:
I am a very easy going person. I am not as outgoing and talkative as most models. I am very discipline, and reserved. I am a bit shy, quiet but I don't let that stop me from my work. I am the complete opposite when I am in front of a camera. I let my work speak for me. I enjoy the opportunity to express my myself on the runway, in a photo shoot or the clothes I wear. My love for fashion is what draws me to this industry.



What do you think?

I wonder if the ocd community have draft picks like people that have or think they have autism do.

I think any you may be projecting your own hope for a talented and successful life on of your own on someone who has already attained it. The fact that you find her attractive also supports this though — people with”crushes” often imagine common qualities that may not even be there.

The fact that she is comfortable with flashing lights, loud music, and odd-fitting clothes made of odd fabrics belies the “sensory overload” aspect of autism. Being a graceful fashion model belies the “physical clumsiness” aspect, too.

I mean it's just a bit of harmless speculation Fnord?

Yes she is

As for Evangeli, not nearly enough information. Autistics usually come off as edgy, they make people nervous, not "easygoing". That is not proof she is not autistic.

A question was asked, I answered it. Problem?

Not necessarily.

Not all NTs are these super outgoing, mindless zombies that don't have to push themselves once in a while to live up to their dreams. She might just be a sensitive NT with shyness or something. And being brilliant at something or interested in something doesn't automatically make one autistic. NTs can have ambitious interests too.

Yeah that makes sense. She is also breaking into an industry where her "look" isn't that widely popular so she's also breaking glass ceilings which might make her appear cautious.
