More info.

She is not used to flying alone. (Her brother was supposed to be flying with her)
Her assistant later, accompanied her home.

That's sad. It sounds like her fame is really hard on her.

Even people without her handicap can suddenly and without warning have a panic attack about something (crowds, flying, small spaces, etc.) even when they've never even had a whisper of trouble before. Not saying this is what happened.... just something that came to mind...

I am saddened to hear about her struggles. I have her version of "Amazing Grace" on my iPod. When I feel stressed, she comforts me, yet she struggles to find comfort. Seems ironic and unfair. I wish her well.

After reading that, outbursts are not new for her. A shame on several levels. If she hadn't found fame she wouldn't be in these positions as much, but if she hadn't found fame, authorities would not be treating her public outbursts so sympathetically either.

And we can't know, if she has arguments routinely with her family, if she is usually the "cause" or it's her family. It can't always have been easy to live with her, with or without a diagnosis.

Yes, she does. Even though she may function at a relatively high level for those with Asperger's, I can understand why this situation upset her to such a degree. (My now deceased nephew had Asperger's. Sister and BIL refused any treatment.)

It creates a lot of anxiety, fears, and panic disorders.

Even people who have no medical issues or conditions may sometimes become overwhelmed in crowded situations and become anxious, stressed, very frightened, become agitated, have panic attacks, and become extremely disoriented.

Very frightening absolutely, nevertheless but this can and does occur.......so I can easily sympathize and understand how Susan Boyle felt, especially considering her Medical disability.

"May God continue to watch over her, and I hope she is never left alone in this type of situation ever again.

Susan should always have someone accompany her, to keep her feeling very safe, cared for, and very calm.

Life in general is never easy but kudos to Susan as she most certainly has come a very long way and travelled a very hard road, and her success is certainly overdue and well deserved.

Susan was most certainly gifted by God to have the voice of an Angel, in spite of her medical disability, and any other problems she may have.

Others often try to emulate her, but there is only one Susan Boyle, and the world is a better place for that!
