Certainly not you, it seems.

A touch of empathy would not go amiss tbh, try putting yourself in someone else's shoes for once.

tbf to Anne, it was Rita that kept asking her about it and tbqh I found it educational, I don't know alot about autism/aspergers

[BBDodge]

ITV News in a major Anne promotion.

Winner already decided.

It's barely been a few days give Ann a chance to settle in , i'm hoping she slays the trial .

As an uncle of two autistic nephews, I find her presence on the show and her frank discussions of her condition refreshingly honest, even though it is quite a common condition there’s still a lot that people don’t understand about it, it’s great to have someone out there in public allowing people to learn more about it.

Did you expect her to lie?

Someone asked her

Do you find Harry refreshing and honest for talking about nearly dying in a car crash or nearly killing his wife?

No. Course you don't

[Jack_]

Why are people concerned whether she’s going to be pulling her weight? We’re not living with her, so who cares?

Same kind of nonsense we get on BB too

It's a common symptom of Aspergers/autism.

No, he's talking about actually talking frankly about it and how it's affected her life and how it's caused her to struggle with even the most basic parts of her life.

Rather than being embarrassed or ashamed of talking about it. Non-physical disabilities have held a stigma for a long time that stopped people feeling comfortable to discuss them.

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 ..

That's what you'd expect a women of her age who's extremely overweight ( unhealthily so ).. given the hot ,humid conditions and her lack of food and sleep

And on the topic, I think what Anne is doing is amazing, she is giving awareness to 11 million viewers on national television every night, I will be supporting her all the way for doing this.

Bravo !!!

Did you actually watch the show !?

She said last night that she never mentions her Aspergers BUT if someone asks her about it she's happy to answer any questions.

How much more accommodating can she be ??

ie. you're just intolerant to anything that doesn't affect your narrow little world.

I hope she stays in the show a while and gets the chance to tell more stories about how Aspergers effects her in every day life ..

Millions around the country watch it and many of my work colleagues...so from a selffish angle the more she explains to the others the more my fellow workers will understand my problems and issues ... thankfully I work some lovely , supportive people anyways though .

Yeah I can honestly say i never even knew Ann was autistic until she mentioned it on launch , and i was surprised as i never knew . Ann obviously will be open if anyone asks her about it and that's good i think .

Me and Anne agree and you can't handle the fact I was right and you were wrong.

Anne has actually been on more than one prog where she has spoken about her problems and how she came to be a Chaser.

[LeatherTrumpet]

She was awul tonight and needs to go as she is ruining people's experience now
