I am sure now that she has been told she is like OHHHHHHHHH!!!!


?? what does that mean.

I havent got a clue and I'm hoping it isnt a snark at my post.


your answer That is all she hears or focuses on, she can't move on or make that decision to move on.


So it comes down to precise and indepth instructions. IF Heather was told to do the list in any order, she would have been okay??

or do you feel, as per your specialized knowledge, that she still would have been just as focused on that FIRST person on the list?

also, do you have a book or some kind of text/ medical info in which I could get really indepth info about this?

I am asking questions because more and more I am starting to wonder about stuff. My early years and School experiences still puzzle the heck out of me.

As an adult, who does a person see to definitively diagnose Aspergers? my specialist that said he figured I had it, has been no help for info.

Sunshyne totally not a snark. I meant that what seemed so obvious to us watching, like you and other said about going to another job or moving on, that I am sure now that people have seen the show they have all told her she should have moved on and she is probably like OHHHHHHH I get it, but she didn't get it at the time.

No 2 Asperger patients are the same but if I had to bet even given directions she still would have focused on the first and not been able to move forward without being told to.

I do have some books but they are at work, early next week I will look up some titles and pass them on to you. This is a website I have gotten information from and read their book

Most of the time on diagnosis doctors refer parents to a PPD specialist.

The reason I ask is that I can find stuff about small children, but nothing for adults who are trying to figure this stuff out.

I finally watched the last episode and I just don't understand why Jenah is still there. She is so unattractive in my opinion.

Bummed Heather got let go, I was routing for her. I always route for the underdog. lol

I don't really like the remaining women.

I also don't get Jenah staying over others. I don't find her attractive and do find her somewhat hard looking. I also feel they have made Chantal less attractive with their makeovers than she was when she started on the show. She, too, looks somewhat harsh and not as naturally beautiful.

basically a review of the seasons. Each one is given 20 mins.

a few of the girls from each season interviewed, occ'l judge interviews and various cast talking about the girls. Most seem to be blurbs from that actual time period, except some of the girls.

What I am finding most interesting is the "real" story behind some of the occurrences. Toccara talked about how it was fake that she was evicted due to 'losing her spark'. She also talked about how the stylists would tell her that they couldnt find clothes in her size.

Adrienne and Elysse were interviewed a lot as to their time on the show. Both talked about how there was so much producerderived drama...like Elysse's supposed anorexia.

oh, at least three of the past contestants have said that it is just a reality show not a real modelling contest.

It sounds like a real cheap show the first two seasons. By season three they still didnt have it together, the girls all got put into a HOLDING area for Three days due to a screwup when they were trying to go to Tokyo.

They had to leave and go to Guam...then come back another day.

Anyways, If there is anything of interest other than gossipy stuff, I'll post it.

OH everyone remember the hottub orgy with Mercedes, Shandi and the Italian Male models? The producer Ken Monk says that it was an allout orgy with everyone and mercedes said that nothing happened it was all just innocent fun.

Who do ya believe? LOL

on to another topic. the most viable real life models based on body type, face, and being photographic, are heather and lisa. the big disfunction in this show, is tyra, and her band of judges, who base choosing the group of models, and their eliminations, on story driven basis, which they believe will be good tv, and their own personal neurosis. this is why there has never been a real top model discovery that has made it in fashion world.

that has been my perception as well aalife, although i hate to be presumptuous

like i have said, i think lisa was the ONLY contestant they have ever had who truly looks like supermodel material. i know she choked with her speaking role, but i was so bummed to see her go.

the judges overlook weaknesses with the girls all the time, and give them more chances to improve, and more mentoring. i wish they had been willing to invest more in lisa and heather

a few of the girls from the past have been working steadily. Sounds like Ann (Eva's friend ) was called practically the day after she was evicted.

oh and we all remember Tiffany when Tyra went off on her? Tiffany came right out and said that the 'forgiveness and She just wanted whats best for me' routine that she did afterwards and on the TYRA show was just fake. She was takenaback at how angry Tyra got.

Both Tiffany and ?? Going blind mom are working inbetween raising their kids.

everyone remember crazy Lisa?? She hasnt been able to drum up anything. She is still very bitter about being booted. She alluded to the fact she thinks the show might have hurt her chances.

ohhhhhh I just remembered something. Adrienne (season 1) was talking about the photoshoots and how you dont get treated like that in the real world. Tyra was just doing it to make 'good tv'.

everyone remember the Water tank photoshoot? Shandi looked terrified, Mercedes did great...evidently the girls were all asked a week earlier when they all were due for the periods.

They thought it was weird. Later there was the Tank shoot...and there was supposed to be a Live Shark in with them. The producers decided it was too risky as sharks go nutz if any blood in the water.

I was surprised. Forget the periods! what if someone had a bleeding hangnail or cut themselves in the kitchen?

The "Next Top Model" designation for the winner of each cycle is mostly a joke. Keepng busy as a model is NOT being The Next Top Model.

great interview with heather here - apparently she and Bianca were actually friends and did a lot of practicing together but, as she says, they edit the good parts out.

I saw her on GMA the day after last week's show, and she did an awesome job being interviewed by Diane Sawyer. I was even more impressed with her than before. She was poised, articulate, and absolutely gorgeous (especially when she smiled). She was proud that she'd made it as far as she had, in spite of everything. Truly, a wonderful young lady. I hope she succeeds in whatever endeavors she chooses to pursue.

I am glad a agency picked her up. I think she will be working a lot. The agency knew they had money in the bank getting Heather, the cover girl of the week favorite. Plus Heather worked hard and had proven herself that she can model. I am proud of her.

One of the recognized guru's of Asperger's Syndrome is Tony Atwood. If you Google his name, you will find his website.

I think that In Heathers case as smart as she is, that it doesn't matter if an agency picks her up! She Will make something of her Life
