Again I am probably the last one to find out!

Susan Boyle has ASD

The story is so sad, but at least now she has million$. Her story is similar to the stories of those who lived decades without help or even tolerance, before the kindly docs put ASD in their DSM. (That sounds like a straight line, doesn't it?)

I thought I spend a lot of time here on WP but I missed that.

You know what is in that article that I found interesting - she didn't find out until both parents were gone. That's true of me too. Mom was a force in my life. Our health is excellent and that's that. When Mom passed, I felt - oh you're going to think this is ridiculous - a ping, a snip, as if some thread was cut, some thread connecting me and Mom. I knew she was gone.

My sister felt it too, in another city.

It was only then that I found WP, got a Dx, etc. I was free from pretending to be normal.

Anybody else with that sort of thing?

I like Susan Boyle's music. She's also a cat lover.

It's been pretty much an "open secret" that Susan Boyle has Asperger's.

She has a lovely voice.

She was unbelievable when she won "Britain's Got Talent."

I remember when she won Britain's got talent. After that, I got rid of my TV and the cost of turning it on. I've been way out of touch ever since.

I remember seeing a video of her singing "Memory" as a tribute to her cat. It made me cry.
