[Trevor Wilson]

The actress who plays Amy Farrah Fowler (Mayim Bialik), as Sheldon's
'girlfriend', completed a PhD in neuroscience, studying
obsessive-compulsive disorder in adolescents.

Just thought it was worth mentioning. It seems she has been perfectly cast.

** Mayim was cast to play a female version of Sheldon. She is a competent
actress and was given only a couple weeks to invent all her character's
mannerisms - having apparently never watched the show on TV previously.

Jim Parsons character (Sheldon) is a salve to rules, routines and familiar
things not because of OCD - those are all common traits of Aspergers
Syndrome or ASD.

When I first watched the program, I could hardly believe that all the main
characters were cast as ASD sufferers with the clear exception of Penny.

** Not true.

She studied "neuroscience" - not a medical subject but a branch of biology.

Her thesis was on the " Prader Willi " syndrome - a genetic abnormality.

She was also a child actress playing the character of "Blossom" in the

show of the same name.
