Retired NFL running back Herschel is a man of many talents. The

46-year-old won a Heisman trophy, competed in bobsled for the U.S.

Olympic team, and even performed with the Fort Worth Ballet. But in

his new book, " Breaking Free, " he reveals his struggle with

dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality

disorder. ABC's Bob Woodruff reports. Read more here and watch a sneak

peek.

He was also on Good morning America yesterday so you maybe able to see a video clip of the interview. It was a great interview. I thought so anyway....Even though he talks about his issue, what he says could describe just about anyone...creativelywired wrote: Retired NFL running back Herschel is a man of many talents.

I remember when was at the University of Georgia, and played on

some really great UGa teams back in the early 80's (Vince Dooley was

the coach at the time). Won the national championship one of those

years (yeah I know, one of my co-workers is a diehard UGa fan). I was

reading something on ESPN's on-line site and said how this one reporter

thought was an excellent marketer and was just " trying to cover

things up " and such. How does a person really cover up something like

AS? After all, I did it for the first 40 years of my life.

Eventually, the past catches up with the present.

, I fooled myself pretty well, I think: I did not fool everyone! Now, when I meet people who are a bit knowledgeable about autism, I wonder if they can tell. wrote: I remember when was at the University of Georgia, and played on some really great UGa teams back in the early 80's (Vince Dooley was the coach at the time).

That's a very good question, . I am sure with more

understanding about autism, that I will be able to identify who could

be autistic and who might not be. I think one of the things I'm

finding out is that I can be a support to individuals who might have

Asperger's or another form of autism even here locally.

, How do you know they are AS or autistic? How do they know they can tell you? If you write me off-list, I will share the latest in autistic radar, if you do not know already. : ~ ) wrote: That's a very good question, .
