Amazing singer Susan Boyle has Asperger's. The pieces of the puzzle
fall into place.
I remember when she was discovered, and afterwards she was accused of "odd" behavior and a temper. I'm glad for her that she's found an answer to her personal riddle -- and also an audience for her beautiful voice.

LONDON (AP) - Singer Susan Boyle says she has been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism - and feels relief at finally having the right label for her condition.
Boyle told the Observer newspaper that she saw a specialist a year ago, who told her she had Asperger's and an above-average IQ.
Boyle, 52, had learning difficulties as a child, which she was told were the result of brain damage from oxygen deprivation at birth. She struggled in school and was bullied by other children.
"I have always known that I have had an unfair label put upon me," Boyle said in the interview, published Sunday.
"Now I have a clearer understanding of what's wrong and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself."
