ANTM參賽者患有Asperger Syndrome

有網友問起Heather有什麼病症,我就翻一下這篇文章囉。

The new cast of America's Next Top Model 9 includes insecure girls, overly-confident girls, girls who will be labeled the beeyatches -- just the usual mix of colorful personalities. But there was one girl who stood out for me during last night's premiere episode. Her name is Heather and she revealed that she suffers from a form of autism called Asperger Syndrome. According to About.com's Autism guide, "Asperger Syndrome is at the high end of the autism spectrum. Individuals with Asperger Syndrome may be very bright and capable, but may also have serious difficulties with social interaction, or have unusually low tolerance for loud noise, bright lights, crowds, etc." It will be interesting to see if the 21-year-old college student's difficulties will affect her performance in the competition or her relationship with the other girls.

ANTM9的選角包括不安定的女孩、過分自信的女孩、將被認定是"Bitch"的女孩....多采多姿的人格混雜。但有一個女孩在昨天的首播中,名字為Heather,她顯示出,她正苦於一種孤獨症,稱為Asperger Syndrome。根據About.com's Autism guide.Asperger Syndrome是一種高程度的孤獨病。有Asperger Syndrome的人可以是非常耀眼且出色的,但可能會嚴重地有社交互動的困難。並經常對於聲量、亮光、擁擠的忍受度很低.看這位21歲大學生的難處是否會影響到她的成績以及群體關係將會十分有趣。
