		<description>I agree with your premise, but you may be missing some sub-text.   The obstacles include something glossed over in the special - her disability, which *appears* to fit on the Autism spectrum (social interaction issues, mood swings, occasional panic attacks, focus on one thing, problems of verbal self-expression but above-average intelligence, etc).  

Susan talks a bit about her symptoms in her recent interview with Australia&#039;s Sunrise tv.   It is amazing to me how well she&#039;s done.  

She is also from a poor area of Scotland, whose population isn&#039;t regularly  embraced by the UK in general.

To be clear - no one has officially said anything about Susan&#039;s disability being on the autism spectrum.  But, there is a reason the websites dealing  with that disability report on Susan.</description>
