You're kidding, right? The Nena from 99luftballons(Nena Kerner) ,..., looks quite a bit different, is german, and probably still has a german accent. Also, I don't think Nena Kerner has AS. HERE is the Nena from 99luftballons:

Daniel simply noticed that linasgirl always spoke about Nena Aragón's videos, and asked if the two were one in the same.

I was assigned female at birth and thus proceeded through more or less a typical female socialization process -- that is, as "typical" as it could be for an autistic girl. As a teenager, I was diagnosed as having been born intersexed. I was extremely confused by this news. I obsessed about it, faced years of major depression and self-destructive behavior. I already did not see myself as human because I am autistic. This just provided additional confirmation of that.
I now am in much better shape but Lina, the love of my life and an Aspie, will tell you that I still struggle with it -- a lot. In addition to videos about autism, I also make videos to help transgender individuals to live more fulfilling lives. I do this because my path in life has given me a unique perspective about their struggle.
I hope that this clears up any confusion. And yes, I am not the Nena of 99luftballons.

Sorry, I mispoke, and heard a rumor. I won't pursue anything further down that area. I apologize.
