One of my favorite tv shows is “America’s Next Top Model” and whenever there is a marathon on, I am pretty much glued to my couch. After I watch it, I start walking like I am on a catwalk, I am FIERCE! <~~Tyra Banks word, not mine. Sadly, the new season is on Wednesday nights, which is when I work. Good news is that my mom has TiVo, so I can watch it the next day when I stop over her house after school. This glimpse into my life has a point, stay with me here…
There is a contestant on the show this season named Heather. She has been given the most attention out of all the girls because she has Asperger’s Syndrome, which is a form of autism. Right off the bat, the other girls are saying a lot of negative things about her! It really does tick me off that just because this one girl is different, automatically she should be shunned like she has the plague. Its amazing how people react when they don’t understand something. I know autism and dysautonomia are two separate issues, but they can both be looked at as “hidden illnesses” because you don’t see it in someone when you first meet them. I wish I was on that show just to hug her, and be there for her because it just makes being sick worse when you don’t have anyone on your side.
Sometimes I think I need to write an entertainment blog too man…we already have those on here though. I can incorporate my interests in here though too. And you better like it!! Just kidding…
Gotta finish watching the show…”Gossip Girl” on TiVo is next…ooh la la!
