She probably has a name that doesn't stand out, and an uninspiring avatar just to keep some well-deserved privacy.

...but I'll admit, it'd be awesome to know she's here. (And being a happily married man, I promise to never ONCE start carrying-on like "oh she's so hawt" "please date me" "please validate my pathetic existence with your magnitude" or some such jargle.) :lol:

tell her that I dislike her because it seems that she's using her asperger to gain empathy ...that if she really is aspie.

Each time I read an article about heather I find out that it's focused only on her condition.


And oh btw , I find nothing achievable in a profession that requires to show ass and boobs. Such profession should not brings any pride to the aspie community.


Thats a prejudice statement to make and the part about models being showey with their assets is just wrong wrong wrong. are u ashamed of the human body? I think Heather has been brave to follow her dreams in such a public eye proffesion its admirable and i dont think its right to assume she is using her aspire to gain empathy. She just wants to be special dont we all?

This is a show where she has to put forward a good appearance at certain periods during filming (I doubt they constantly film all of her life.) Did she say she has an official diagnosis? I believe I'm on the autism spectrum, but that I'm not severe enough to be AS. My voice is normal, and when putting on a presentation (as in, there's something that I clearly have to do, like moedling, and we're discussing a specific topic that I'm interested in, as she must be interested in modeling) I seem very normal, articulate, bright etc. I stim really badly, but I have control over it - I only do it when alone or do it discreetly when people aren't watching me. I wouldn't do it knowing I was being filmed, or when I'm occupied with another task. My socialization is decent - I can definitely appear normal for a few hours - I just can't do it all the time or in all situations. So she could just be like me - maybe she falls apart when alone, which is what I tend to do, or when she is forced into random long term social situations that have no clear topic/purpose.

I see a blooming flower

A brave women who came out of her shell
embraced the world and said yes i love my life
she douted herself than proved to herself she could be just
as happy and socially comfortable as other models.
she a role model to me. I want to exhibit that kind of confidence
and love my profession, love learning new things.

I guess i idolise her. maby i got a bit out of line sorry. forgive me?

Her body language and her speaking skills seem to have improved quite a bit. She's done a good job imitating NT behavior.

OK, MAKE UP YOUR MIND! You say "I believe I'm on the autism spectrum, but that I'm not severe enough to be AS."! So WHICH IS IT!?!? If you are "Not severe enough to be AS", then you AREN'T on the autistic spectrum! HECK, many never let on I am different. I DON'T stim badly, and can stop any moment. My socialization is decent. If I REALLY tried, maybe I could do better.

BUT, NEWS FOR YOU! Se has shown about every little symptom of AS. Se is physically "clumbsy", shy, has the same motions, obsessed, etc...

And YEAH, I will freely admit I am not officially diagnosed, but MAN, I am seeing it ALL THROUGH my life. And I guess it shows. Just a few hours ago, I was speaking with a woman. She said I reminded her of her father! When I asked "HOW?", she said I was timid and shy like her father. I didn't think I came off as shy at that time. I couldn't tell you what color her eyes were if she was caucasion. I never looked! I never sat next to anyone.

Even this morning, I was admonished by my boss for being too blunt! It was because he remembered of something that happened 4 years ago(At the time, I didn't even HEAR of AS) where I was accused of being racist because of "body language". He said I am clearly NOT racist, but sometimes SOUND so because I am so blunt. HEY, I have spoken about groups of WHITES also! BTW Interestingly, te IDIOT that accused me of being racist IS considered white, and I would NEVER have known what his CULTURE was if he didn't TELL me!! !! I hate his guts ONLY because of the filthy lie he said!
