I feel for her. Perhaps Simon Cowell could come and recue her, and take her to sanctuary, like he did once before? :P

Oh geeze. Does nobody realize that the woman just needs quiet, not stimulation?

Give her some comfortable earplugs, a soft hoodie and sunglasses and she'd probably be fine.

I wish the media would get over it.

Unfortunately, the media is blind to what people with Asperger's need, and people are unwilling to make accommodations.

I am not surprised about the media, just annoyed. I am surprised none of her friends or PR people have thought about it, after finding out she has aspergers, how to help her avoid meltdowns. I can't imagine she travels alone, especially for her job. They just accept the situation how it is, like there are no other ways to help reduce her stress? From the little I have read, it seems like she is trying her best to just "deal with it" on her own.

I think you can get quiet reflection from positive stimulation as well as an enhanced mental and physical backdrop from the unknown. She’s probably got more baggage at customs than SIMON Cowell's new babygro formula..
