Good luck to her, I feel it is sad when people just use their brain to keep their ears apart. With some luck she is putting her brain to work to show that she can be a beauty queen with a sharp mind.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
