Default Asperger syndrome?

I'm not suggesting he's got full blown autism but his social barriers seem to be kinda non-existent. He's not told a lie yet but he keeps telling the kind of truths people don't want to hear about themselves..... and long may it continue.

He can be seen as an underdeveloped 21-yr old or a slightly overdeveloped 11-yr old!

Having worked in a school for autistic kids I was wondering myself. He's on the spectrum if you ask me.

Agreed. I have some experience with this too which is what got me thinking in the first place.

I think, Sam, enjoys seeing people suffer, based on the "truths" he hurls at them. He seems to be very intelligent and can "read" people very well, finding out their vulnerable spots. He then takes aim.

He seems to lack empathy of any kind. does not "feel" for the hurt he is causing others. He will say he's sorry when caught out - but only to buy himself further time for refuelling his guns. He's fearless based on the fact he can hurt others without himself feeling any pain - as most "normal" people would. he does not suffer any kind of remorse.

He's a master manipulator.

IMO, there is a name for this condition - and it is not aspergers syndrome.

Makes me shudder to think what he will be up to a few years hence.

I would be the same as you but surely he's only doing it for the show?

Absolute classic symptoms of what I'm on about.

I was editing my last post as you were replying, so your quote misses out wsome of what I've said.

I do not believe he is doing this only for the show. Sure he had planned in advance that he would do it, but he is such a master of the "technique"! He has been doing this from he was very young, IMO.


Also, the buddies he hangs out with - a much older age-group than himself seemed to indicate that he was more than just a prankster on when they were interviewed on the BBLB show.

I dunno what his condition is, but he's definitely got something wrong with him.

He has gone in to stir it up. And a grand job he is doing. My worry is that he is a bit of a loose cannon and he may go to far and be escorted out of the door.

I think hes been coached by BB to do this to get things going and spice things up.Maybe d.room chats also as to what to do or say to whom next - who knows,but a lot of what he says is spot on.Last night when Dave was moaning about being picked he said " Mario had to pick someone so he chose the biggest pr..k in the house". Brilliant!

I agree. I think people are too ready to label anti-social behaviours so they can hide behind that label and excuse it instead of addressing the actual problem.

Sam knows exactly what he's doing and is deliberately being an a*sehole, so long may it continue whilst the dross remains in the house.

Hiya

There's only ever been one housemate that I thought displayed the signs, and that was Eugene, but I cant remember if it was confirmed?

Then as you know the thing is there is an Asperger's sliding scale of classification which goes from very obvious to almost unnoticeable. In fact there are many with the condition leading practically normal lives without the slightest clue that they have it.

Yup, I know about the spectrum, I know that people live with it and dont know...and I also know that some people are just being upfront in your face rude ****ers, which is what Sam was sent in there for.
