Susan Boyle struggled with Asperger syndrome

By GalaTView Staff

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. 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.
