    Bacharach-Dickinson daughter dies


    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.

    Nikki Bacharach died of suffocation using a plastic bag and helium, said Mike Feiler of the Ventura County coroner's office.

    Born prematurely in 1966, Lea Nikki Bacharach studied geology at Cal Lutheran University, but could not pursue a career in the field because of poor eyesight.

    "She loved kitties, and earthquakes, glacial calving, meteor showers, science, blue skies and sunsets, and Tahiti," the statement said.

    Nikki Bacharach was the only child of Burt Bacharach, 77, and Dickinson, 75, who were married from 1965 to 1981.

    It was the second marriage for both Bacharach, the Oscar-winning composer of "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head," and "What the World Needs Now is Love," and Dickinson, star of the film "Dress to Kill" and the TV show "Police Woman."

    Bacharach has three children from other marriages.

    Looked up Asperger's because I found it odd that someone with autism could accomplish that level of education and live alone.

    Short description from http://sitemaker.umich.edu/356.marks/high-functioning_autism_and_aspergers:

    There is a distinct difference between those suffering from Autism and those who have another form like Higher-Functioning Autism or Asperger's Disease.  The difference between the later two is that of a few symptoms that are still being heavily researched and debated.  Having Higher-Functioning Autism (HFA) or Asperger's Disease makes a child quite socially awkward.  These children tend to be quite smart and can typically be termed HFA until school starts where they are sometimes diagnosed with Asperger's.  It is important to look into the limitations these children may have when entering school in a social situation.  Anywhere on the spectrum, "clinically, if children with Autism Spectrum Disorder cannot repair conversational breakdown, their social and communicative interactions will be severely compromised," argues Volden (2004) "and their chances for effective participation in the community diminished."  That is why it is important to look into what classifies what spectrum of the disorder, and try to decipher who will fair well in potentially an integrated situation.

    I love this line:

    "She loved kitties, and earthquakes, glacial calving, meteor showers, science, blue skies and sunsets, and Tahiti," the statement said.

    actually, that is probably a reference to some of the topics she perseverated on...a trademark of Asperger's...

    crazy the amount of information some of these guys can accumulate.....don't get them started talking about it though.....it is obsessional
