Gah.
Lisa has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism, which triggered a spending addiction. She was said to have an obsession with shopping and had a £2,000 shoe collection. In June 2003, Lisa was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and detained.
Lisa is alleged to have Asperger's syndrome. Since she denies this, and only her mother has spoken with this claim (no doctors or anybody, as far as I can tell), it is wrong to treat this as a proven fact. Furthermore, AS does not trigger spending addictions. Unless I'm missing something...? And, of course, the fact that her parents got her locked up would mean a lot more if she hadn't been let out a few months later.

I hate labels.
