Susan Boyle: "I Have Asperger's Syndrome"
Susan Boyle has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome.
Boyle, who rose to fame following an unforgettable 2009 performance on "Britain's Got Talent," claimed she visited a specialist a year ago and was informed that she has the autistic disorder, which affects her social interaction and communication skills.
Boyle revealed to The Observer that the diagnosis is a "relief."
"Some articles have said I have brain damage," Boyle, 52, told the outlet, noting: "I have always known that I have had an unfair label put upon me."
Boyle continued: "Now I have a clearer understanding of what's wrong and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself."
"I struggle with relationships," Boyle admitted, explaining: "I never know if people are genuine. I would say I have relationship difficulties, communicative difficulties, which lead to a lot of frustration. If people were a bit more patient, that would help."
"Asperger's doesn't define me," Boyle was quoted as saying, adding: "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."
