That One Time America's Next Top Model had an Autistic Competitor | retrospective media analysis

#ANTM #americasnexttopmodel #actuallyautistic this video is talking about america's next top model (ANTM) cycle 9's participant Heather who is autistic and reflecting on the edit of that season around her, i have also since making this video read another participant's memoir of this season 'you wanna be on top?' where she share's the girls were actually all much closer and were FRIENDS which is not what it appears in the edit of this show and is actually really quite sad to see and know in some ways that they were continuing to ENFORCE the stereotype of an autistic girl not being loveable or befriendable, but also that a lot of the girls of this season being neurodivergent including the author of the memoir who i believe stated has ADHD. so there are some minor corrections i wish i could add to my video but not enough to really make an entire new video because of the memoir and i havent watched the new documentary yet? idk if i wanna honestly! but support the other model and buy or borrow her book from the library! chapters 00:00 intro 01:02 video starts 38:55 outro Looking for books and want to support me and indie bookshops?
