BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - 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.

I read that, it's really sad. Asperger's is a very isolating condition to live with and people often feel ostracized and misunderstood. My heart goes out to her family. I hope she has found peace now.
