Many of you may remember Heather Kuzmich a finalist on the TV Show “America’s Next Top Model” who also has Aspergers Syndrome. She has just went on to further her education – by enrolling in a video game design school.

According to Rahul Sood‘s blog Kuzmich is getting into gaming because “I frigging love games and love doing weird designs for characters.”
Her favorite games include The Resident Evil series, Silent Hill, Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy 7, Knights of the Old Republic, Tetris, Katamari Damashi, and many more.
I think Heather’s best part of the interview was when she said “I am an extremely stubborn person and hate to be told that I can’t do something (unless it’s flying, and I’m working on that!). My mother has many grey hairs with my name on them.” I think this should be an inspiration to everyone – even more so those with disabilities to not let what others think limit you in perusing your life and your dreams.
I really recommend reading the interview that Mr. Sood conducted for great insight on how Aspergers has affected Kuzmich’s life and what drives her to succeed.
