Frontrunner on Show " America's Top Model " has Asperger's

Even Kuzmich, a contestant in this season's America's Next Top

Model, has Asperger's. Like the other young women on the popular

television reality show, she is tall and beautiful. Unlike the other

contestants, and against the expectation of what a model should be,

is stiff, uncomfortable when others touch her and introverted.

Although she frustratingly poses in profile as opposed to facing

forward, and can't walk down a runway without hunching over, she

captures that emotionless countenance that is gold for models. She's

the fan favorite and the current front-runner. 's admittedly

odd, but her not-so-unusual behavior prompted a colleague at the Press

to comment, " If she's got Asperger's, then a lot of people I know have

Asperger's. " And he could be right.
