This Witch doesn't burn
|
Don't get me wrong I love her on the Chase, but I don't understand why the campmates are fawning over her, yes she got upset then she got over it and that is fine and its good to talk about her disability, but they seem to be doing what many people do with people with disabilities assuming they can't do stuff so doing it for them, why is she sitting back watching the others doing things in camp, it's not sitting well with me at the moment

I agree, I really like her, but all Ive seen her do so far is lay or sit down and talk about herself ....and then to declare she's no intention of helping in the camp ,I will soon go off her if she doesn't change

She just needs to find her place in the camp ... if it was me I'd take care of the fire ... keep it burning and go foraging for wood supplies each and every day . It will be so hard for her ... she had that alter ego of being a bit narky but she's clearly a kind , caring soul . Yesterday when they went to choose their treat and thingy said 'it's no choice , obviously has to be scones and cream' ... Anne said nothing and went along with the 'decision' yet when the camp chose the wrong answer and they didn't get the scones .... Anne let it slip that SHE would have chosen the other option ...

She’s already said it’s difficult for her to help out in camp because she has to go through a process to get things done whereas the others can just do them without thinking about it. I’m sure she will pitch in at some point but I think the main priority whilst it is still early days is to find her bearings.

I worked with autistic children for 10 years, she is doing disability a disservice as she is not really trying to get involved, her campmates are fawning around her rather than enabling. I also think she feels she should have special treatment. Nicks gesture with the pillow was nice, but not creating a routine for her to enable her to get involved in camp life is not doing her any favours and her not trying to get involved is just perpetuating the stereotype that people with disabilities cannot contribute in the same way that people who don't have can

That's a question only she can answer ... I can't imagine she's gone on there without watching some previous episodes to get an idea of what's in store for her . The complications are she has no idea who was going to be on her team .. where camp they were based ... and so many unknowns / variables to unsettle her .. It's also dreadfully hot and humid , being eaten alive by insects ... not sleeping and they've not eaten a decent meal for ages .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It's absolutely not the same for the others ... Aspergers 'experience' life so differently to 'normal' folk.. An example is that if they suddenly announced tonight that the two were joining together and there would be a party to celebrate... everyone else would be deliriously happy and start dressing up an getting ready but I can almost guarantee that Anne would retreat back into her shell and start fretting about what the evening would be like .. plus whilst everyone else may be excitedly dancing around and be in good spirits ... Anne would be sat in a corner on the fringe of things and keeping out of the way .. It's what we do .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

After seeing her dressed as a garden gnome and having so much fun, she can do no wrong.
Lover her, and also like the fact that she is not frightened to show her vulnerability. |

i don't like saying it, but I think she is using her disability as an excuse. She has to interact with the world and perform activities in real life, so why does she get a free pass there? She did the first tasks on launch night without issue, she will be doing a trial today. All without thinking it all through first.

No I know what she means ... you find yourself overwhelmed by jobs or things that need doing but you can't just 'do them' you have to prioritise things then go through the main job in your head kinda visualising every step before you even start on it . She's probably a perfectionist as well which of course only adds to the pressure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 20-11-2018 at 11:42 AM. |

It’s nothing to do with being lazy. She has to tell herself to get involved with the jobs around the camp because the social etiquette of “I should help with that” doesn’t go through her brain naturally like “normal” people.
