They didn't say he "might be" autistic. They said "Freddie is academic but slightly autistic". Can't you see that? And his dyslexia is "widely known" bit is because is has been published by Channel 4, Endemol have commented on it in the press, it's been spoken about by his best friend on BBLB and Freddie himself has spoken about it. It isn't a secret.

This thread is idiotic. Have fun on my ignore list with all the other abrasive, ill-informed people on there.

No she certainly hasnt, BEA has, so when someone has dated one man for 3 years, and kissed one guy in the house and rightfully went back to her ex after a few kisses, certainly doesnt make one a *****!

And unless we are all virgins here, I doubt anyone can cast judgement on her.

We are in western world factually and statistically, there is a lot worst...and compared to millions out there, Noirin is a blooming angel! she is hardly a single parent on the DOLE, or someone with STD passing it about! :laugh3:

Halfwit has stated he is dyslexic, you can take it or leave it!

I never said she had,you did.

:pat:

wow, where is the rest of my post! LOL

But you certainly called her a *****, and HENCE, my touch of realism for you!

Bea 50 men

western world, filled with single parents and STD carriers!

Get real before you call someone who has dated one man for 3 years a *****...whilst her only crime was kissing one guy and a bit of fliriting here and there!

*****!

Considering how nerdy they are, I'd say they have read the house quite well.

Er- excuse me - single mothers on the dole, as you say, are at least there and looking after their children - which is more than can be said for the irresponsible missing fathers who often don't contribute a penny - then go and get other girls pregnant! Those mothers are more responsible than the fathers - so how about making nasty digs about the fathers instead! Old double standards!

agree. not a professional but his social interaction and understanding is off balance.

Ok i felt i had to make a post here. I am a clinical psychologist with a Bsc in psychology a Phd in social psychology and a DClinPsych (professional doctorate in clinical psychology). On his birthday freddie disclosed that he had problems as a child picking up social cues in addition to his dyslexia. let us forget for now that dyslexia is correlated with autistic spectrum disorders and look at his behaviour since entering the house. Freddie clearly shows an inability to pick up on non-verbal cues and finds it difficult to communicate and engage effectively in social situations. He frequently demonstrates sterotypical behaviour and show a complete inability to manage his emotions.

There is no scientific basis for the pop-psychological concept of emotional iq and it is generally considered the area of quack psycho-practitioners (ie non-qualified would-be psychologists).

There are no absolutes in psychology or psychiatry however if Freddie were under my care i would be putting him forward for assessment as i believe he has a possible autistic spectrum disorder probably high function aspergers.

this is, however, only a 'professional' opinion based on observation

I can make judgements too.
;)

I thought Freddie said he had Asperger's, which is slight Autism. Maybe I misheard.
