Susan Boyle Reveals She Has Asperger's Syndrome

Hmm … yeah this news doesn't really come as a shock. Britain's Got Talent winner Susan Boyle just revealed that she has Asperger's Syndrome.

"Some articles have said I have brain damage. It's been something else. I have Asperger's," the 52-year-old singer told the Guardian.

Asperger's Syndrome is a high-functioning form of autism, which mostly affects a person's social interaction and communication skills. Boyle has had a series of erratic episodes since first being discovered four years ago. But she is hoping that the diagnosis will bring positive changes.

The singer calls the diagnosis a "relief." "Asperger's doesn't define me," she continued. "It's a condition that I have to live with and work through, but I feel more relaxed about myself. People will have a greater understanding of who I am and why I do the things I do."
