Do you think she has helped or hindered the Asperger's cause (if that is a thing)
ie: her actions in the jungle, will viewers have a more positive view of the condition or a negative one? (please show your workings)

I would perhaps stop looking at individuals as reflective of an entire demographic. The idea of there being an "Aspergers cause" rather than taking people with Aspergers to be completely different from each other is just... reductive.

or maybe she could just be a person who happens to have Asperger’s who does not need to be defined by it?

As someone who admitted you know sweet FA about aspergers/autism, you have no grounds to base this on.

She has set the autism cause back 50 years IMO. She has convinced viewers that people with autism are quitters who are too lazy to get out of bed.

You're basing this purely on your own opinions on her having both admitted you know sweet fanny adams about aspergers.
Also, there is a lot of evidence online (if you actually take the time to look instead of just basing your opinions on ignorance) that shows that she has encouraged a lot of people with aspergers and shown them that anything is possible for them, for example, the widely publicised little boy who wrote her a letter.

Take that up with the kids parents then, it has nothing to do with Anne. And I’m a Celeb is a family show anyway. What has happened over the course of the series that has been unsuitable for the under 10s?

It’s not just about the trials, it’s to do with the being completely outside of the comfort zone that is a huge issue for people with Aspergers.

As someone with high functioning Autism myself, and quite possibly Aspergers (I've shown cases of it but am yet to get a full diagnosis on that) I personally feel she has had a positive reflection on ppl like me. Like it or not, she has pushed herself so far out of her comfort zone and I commend that so much. I think we are forgetting that she has gone halfway across the world with a bunch of ppl she doesn't know and also challenged herself in trials. I am happy she decided to go ahead with IAC bc it's honestly heartwarming especially for someone like me to see her push herself

I don't see how. She is one person, on one line of a very wide spectrum, and is also completely out of her comfort zone. Not only has she been plonked in the middle of a jungle but also with a bunch of people she has probably never met before - she is in both a physical AND mental situation that I'm sure she has tried very hard to avoid. She must have all sorts going through her mind, it's no wonder she may sometimes be unable to act accordingly to what is expected of her.

I agree. Plus, she wanted to leave to within a few days to my understanding and the fact that she’s managed this long just shows how well she’s doing

Thankfully I knew through my ex-wife someone with Asperger's. I certainly wouldn't call him lazy. So I know not to generically label anyone with Asperger's as lazy. It's just how Anne is.
And that also goes to show peoples ignorance of Asperger's. It's not a one-size fits all. People have it to differing degrees. Has Anne helped bring awareness, yes. Has she helped people see her in a different light, sure. I didn't know she had it and now I know I can see that behaviour come through on The Case. I always found it a bit rude, now I'll be more tolerant.

Anne does not have one likeable personality trait. Not a single one. The only thing she is good at is quizzes.
Are you and her other supporters suggesting that I should like her because she has Autism?

I agree with what you say to a degree...
However...she wasn't put there..she put herself into the situation. She chose to be well out of her comfort zone with people she knew she hadn't met before. It's a physical challenge to all of them. If she's tried so hard to avoid these situations it's an extreme situation to suddenly put yourself in.
She's coping...but she's coping because everyone is making it easy for her..doing everything for her and treating her like a child. It's obvious she wasn't going to be good at many of the tasks and challenges...I just feel there were things she could easily have coped with but sat back and let others get on with it.
No, little children need sleep to help them grow and fight disease and should not be watching Harry Rednapp tell Emily she has had a lot worse in her knickers than a cricket
