Interesting.... sad but coincidental

[The People]

There is an article about Susan Boyle, woman who came out of nowhere and has taken the world by storm. Came second on Britain's Got Talent. Might be MT but fits with discussion we had a while back about varying issues overlapping.

People mocked her because she forgot her teddy bear ad had a tantrum. She was 46 "and not been kissed" when she walked on the stage and blew people away. Audience laughed when she said she wanted to sing. Her hair looked like it hadn't seen a comb in a while and her persona appeared to show... something. She got 2 notes out and you could hear a pin drop she was so amazing.

Yesterday Susan was taken to hospital from a busy airport (Heathrow perhaps). She has publicly acknowledged that she has Asperger's Syndrome and loses control sometimes. Yet when she is on stage she is able to maintain control.

I remember reading a book years ago. It was written by a woman who had Autism. It was most likely Asperger's as they hadn't been dxing it yet. I remember noticing similarities between her and myself. Even writing a letter to someone who worked with her, asking if they ever noticed similarities.

Makes me wonder if DID and the Autism spectrum affect the same part of the brain in some ways?
