Reality Show Characters w/ AS

Post Reply New Topic

I know there's a billion threads like this one already, but I'm not talking about fictional characters here. I'm talking about actual people on reality shows and documentaries. So even if they really do have AS or you think they do, list them here! I'll start off.

There's a documentary called "Little Beauties" on child beauty pageants. One of the girls, Jordan, definitely has some AS traits going on. She's extremely clumsy (falls over and trips quite often actually- horrible balance problems), her pageant coach said she had absolutely no rythmn, she didn't really do much eye contact, she was very shy when she was with the other girls her age, her voice was fairly monotone, and her mom actually said at one point, "People either love her or they don't get her at all." She also had some sensory issues, such as absolutely refusing to wear a flipper (a fake teeth mold) and she hated the air brushing and said it was "too cold" for her. Fortunately, she's actually a very happy kid. She enjoys life and winning isn't everything for her, even in the big pageants.

If anyone cares, here's a screencap I grabbed of Jordan. If you can, post a picture of your person you mention, too!

Also, does anyone else agree Jordan has AS for the description?

There's Heather Kuzmich who was on America's Next Top Model.

On the UK big brother 2005 there was a man their called eugene (if thats how you spell it). And he definatly showed signs, he got to the final and came second.

Keep 'em coming! Does anyone know of anyone else?

And let's not forget about Jordan! Does anyone else think she matches AS?

*bump*

Come on, people! How about some more replies?

Hey Lightning, I am sorry if this seems like a random and rude comment.

Do you take antidepressants?

You don't have to answer this though, just wondering. Shame on me if this is rude, I'm an aspie how should I know

Jonathan Jayne, who auditioned for the sixth season of American Idol (and was rejected), admitted to having "a mild form of autism".

Several of the guys on "Beauty and the Geek" seemed Aspie to me, especially Richard from the first season.

Possibly Ken Hoang from Survivor: Gabon.

In one of the Supernanny shows, there was a little boy named Tristen who was autistic. He was three I think.

In the show where you go on a trip while a whole mop of workers build you a new house and you live in it. What is the name of the show? Well in one of the episodes, this family had autistic kids and all of them were except one and they all lived in a tiny house and they tore down their house and built them a whole new house and in each of the children's room had their own theme they liked. One aspie kid was into electronics and the 14 year old was into childish things. The five year old had stuff that would help him communicate and work on his speech.


And of course Autism x6. All their kids were autistic. Three aspies and three auties. One of them had PDD-NOS.
