BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Nikki Bacharach, daughter of Burt Bacharach and Angie Dickinson, committed suicide, the songwriter and actress said in a statement Friday.

Nikki Bacharach, 40, suffered from Asperger's Disorder, a form of autism. She killed herself Thursday night at her condo, said Linda Dozoretz, a spokeswoman for the family.

"She quietly and peacefully committed suicide to escape the ravages to her brain brought on by Asperger's," the statement said.

What Asperger syndrome is

i've been living w/it for ages now...unfortunately know all about it. it's one of the reasons i'm so bad on the phone &c. i need to be able to see people's facial reactions and body language to understand what they really mean. which all means i put in shitloads of smileys and stuff cause i take things so literally. there's more but too personal and for once, i won't go on.

amen.

and thank you too, very very muchly.

As am I.

oooh, this is turning into an SG lovefest. I LOVE IT! (but i do...my fucked ego, Asperger's, ADD/ADHD, Tourette's, OCD and worst of all, low self-esteem NEEDS these things. yes i know, i'm fucked in the head----but y'all knew that already).

double amen

jeez, this is unbelievable to me. thanks, Dude.

I'm hard as a rock over you being here.

OMG! you said the forbidden word ('rock'). but really, big thanks to y'all for making my days (especially today) a helluva lot more pleasant (weakass word, especially today).

now i'm off to 'get' EVERYONE else who didn't bow down to my SG-ness (kidding!)

back to the article, i would've liked to have met this chick. it seems she had everything including cool parents. not that i would've tried to talk her out of it (it's impossible for me to talk anyone out of anything especially when i've had my own same tendencies since i was like 5 or so) but still...it's sad, sad, sad. fuckin' bloody hell!

ps, to RainbowDemon: i have issues w/that 'we all' cause i could name names of those who don't, especially certain chicks but i won't. but thank you again, dude.
