[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not surprised that former playboy bunny and Hugh heffner ex Holly Madison has been diagnosed as autistic. I think her ability to relate the decisions she's made - both positive and negative -to her autism is impressive.  I also think autistic girls are especially vulnerable to being taken advantage by men and her story is a prime example of it[/quote]

Why do you say you aren't surprised? Curious about what you picked up on.[/quote]

A few things made me wonder.. she just comes off as very rigidly masking. Shes created a model of what she thinks people want from her and she doesn’t deviate from it. She's one of the first women we've seen in the reality era that's overly plucked, veneered, microbladed, contoured, botoxed, bleached etc. She’s the precursor to the kardashian era. If you look back to magazine covers in the 80s, supermodels had plenty of "flaws" like natural facial hair. (Obviously these arent flaws at all). It reminds me of what I think Marilyn Monroe said about wearing "Marilyn " as a mask over Norma.

She also has low affect.  Her eyes never smiled when she did. Its not the botox- there are plenty of instances where other models are smiling rigidly but the rest of their faces, bodies, voices are involved.

And the way shes has conversations..

The first 2 minutes of this video she spends not declaring her topic and delving into it but excusing herself for having an opinion . She's trying to predict how the audience will react to her opinion (she assumes the audience will think the worst of her) and change that opinion. It's  social anxiety and its hard to watch because i can feel her fear in the first 2 minutes.

And yes I agree with pp about many famous women are asd. But she's one of the first to know and discuss her autism[/quote]
