What is it specifically that you guys are picking up on that tells you she has AS? I maybe don't know what to look for, as she seems "normal" to me
Maybe I just miss it, because this other video on here a few months back with a bunch of people with AS, I thought they all seemed 100% "normal".
I'm really glad someone else noticed this! I have zero interest in reality shows, but my mom told me about this, and had my watch all the sections with her in them. I've asked her to let me know whenever she's one.
Here's her video on the CW's web site (this wasn't in the broadcast as far as I know):

By the way, did they actually mention on the show this person had Asperger's syndrome? Did they say, "Hey, what do you know? This contestant has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism that makes her socially clueless. Laughs galore await!"?
Yes, they specifically said it, and I think she talked about it briefly. They weren't weird about it at all though, it was just kind of stated matter of factly, I thought respectfully.
She said she was diagnosed at 13 with AS and ADHD (which always seems like a weird combination to me from my understanding of AS, but I guess it's common).
Anyway this is quite exciting! There are hardly any "outed" people with AS-well, lots probably wouldn't know they have it! (I'm suspicious of Harrison Ford...)
