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.

Anybody who has been both watching the show and has at least a basic understanding of the disorder will know that she is doing more than her very best in there. I thought she would leave within a week.

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.

From day one every poster had made mention of the spectrum

Please read previous threads

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?

Look, calling people trolls isnt a get out jail card for having nothing to say, it's also against the rules

Does accusing another member of lying fall into "discussing forum members"? Or are you only passionate about that rule when you have nothing left to add?
