I think that Jane Fonda described Lohan as having more emotional range than most other actresses she's worked with. That being said, Fonda is currently in the Mayo Clinic for 'mental issues'. Lindsay is a genuinely talented girl, she just seems intend on fucking up the opportunities she's been given.

Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder. Both Asperger's Disorder and Autistic Disorder are in fact subgroups of a larger diagnostic category. This larger category is called either Autistic Spectrum Disorders, mostly in European countries, or Pervasive Developmental Disorders ("PDD"), in the United States. In Asperger's Disorder, affected individuals are characterized by social isolation and eccentric behavior in childhood. There are impairments in two-sided social interaction and non-verbal communication. Though grammatical, their speech may sound peculiar due to abnormalities of inflection and a repetitive pattern. Clumsiness may be prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behavior. They usually have a circumscribed area of interest which usually leaves no space for more age appropriate, common interests. Some examples are cars, trains, French Literature, door knobs, hinges, cappucino, meteorology, astronomy or history. The name "Asperger" comes from Hans Asperger, an Austrian physician who first described the syndrome in 1944. An excellent translation of Dr. Asperger's original paper is provided by Dr. Uta Frith in her Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

A pre occupation with celebrity gossip - especially to the exclusion or detriment of 'real life relationships' - might qualify any one of us here as potential Aspie's. Then again, with the way the Internet is growing, soon we might all be Aspie's. (Supposedly Bill Gates has Asperger syndrome - he left Harvard to go work on computers in the garage. He became absolutely obsessed with the idea of personal computers. His parents left him to his own devices, and it paid off!)
