Ladyhawke-some

Just saw this in today's Guardian:

Ladyhawke: Asperger's, allergies and aubergines

How cool is this girl?! She may just be my new favourite popster. I mean, things we have in common:

1 - Asperger's Syndrome
2 - Girls with AS (rare, apparently)
3 - Both in our 20's
4 - Both New Zealanders living in the UK

And then the more generic things like adoration of music, blonde hair, etc.

And she's toured with Soulwax. SOULWAX!! Gosh. Best live dance act ever - that would be a formidable show to be at!!



Anyway, I thought this was probably the best place to start this blog - on a nice, positive story about another awesome (kiwi) girl out there doing her thing with AS.

So what if it makes me awkward?

So what if I suck at 'proper' eye contact and look away all the time?

So what if I get things wrong sometimes?

So what if I'm a bit of a geek?

I am woman - hear me roar!



I'm going to show a couple of friends who recently found out I have AS this video, as I think it's the perfect example of Aspergic awkwardness. Note her reluctance to look right at the camera, the way her eyes are wandering so much?





Anyway, this is her single - dance and enjoy:
