Mamya - // Andy, I gave my opinion - I think she has the potential to succeed. We'll likely never know either way.
I am surrounded in my family by those on the spectrum and though it may impinge on each of their chosen paths to a greater or lesser degree we don't use it as a measuring stick of who they are. //
I would never suggest that anyone should be measuring anyone else in that way - that was not my point.
In the same way that we cannot make valid judgements about anyone we see on tv for ten minutes, we cannot assume that this lady will or will not succeed in her career, on the spectrum or not - it's an invalid assumption.
That was the point I was making - if you interpreted my post as being more about her possible issues caused by her being potentially on the spectrum, then I failed to make my point clearly, and if I upset you then please accept my apologies.
