Aspie girl on America's Next Top Model

Post Reply New Topic

This evening I was watching TV with my mom and brother. It was America's Next Top Model with Tyra Banks on and one of the girls, her name's Heather, is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome!! ! I became so excited and is determined to watch every episode of the show to see how it goes for her. It was so cool that a Aspie is on a show that is watched by millions in USA!

It's rather old news. It musta been a repeat.

Yeah, that cycle of Top Model has already ended. Now you have to decide if you want to go online and find out how she did, or just watch the whole season as it is rebroadcasted.

In the United Kingdom it is not old news as we only got cycle nine of ANTM this month.

Okay, you hear that everybody? NO SPOILERS!

the cycle with heather is airing here (aus) right now and it is up to the overseas part.

it's an old repeat these days. MTV is rerunning old episodes of ANTM, but it's still worth watching.

Yeah, even though I've already heard of Heather Kuzmich being on America's Next Top Model, it's still really cool. It's pretty awesome because it's rare for a person with Asperger's to be a fashion model (or at least I think it's rare). I always hear people on WrongPlanet not being the most popular or the most fashionable people while they were in school. Most have said that they preferred to dress more comfortably rather than fashionably. Of course, being a fashion model could be a little different than, say, high school. I think it's even more cool that they were portraying a view that was more real than what's been on the media in the past about Asperger's Syndrome. It's not to the max extreme like when they were talking about Asperger's in the media only when a guy named William Freud shot himself and his girlfriend (since not every aspie would go out and do something like that). In other words, it represented people with Asperger's better.
