So the New York Times reports that the show "America's Next Top Model" is opening the public (and a house full of models') view on what it's like to live with Asperger's Syndrome. But I say to the New York Times, why do you hate "Boston Legal" so much? They've had a character (and now two if you count Jerry's new girlfriend) on the show with Asperger's forever. He is very over-exaggerated, sure, but that's the first TV character I've seen with the syndrome on television. But, more seriously, it is cool that "America's Next Top Model" is trying to bring some depth and reality to an industry notorious for being shallow and generally unaccepting to anything different. Thanks Tyra.
