Video Redux: thought this had also been posted on this page before, but maybe not? Kim Niglio (née Schaub, Class of 2011) in an episode of MTV’s True Life. It's about two brothers (Kenny, age 23, with Asperger’s, and Brad, age 24, on the Autism Spectrum). As their social worker, Kim helps them in their quest to become more independent. You should watch the whole episode (about 20 minutes); but if not, you can see her from 4:44–7:37 and again from 16:15 until the end.
