Coming from the experience of having two children with Dyslexia my observations are that its possible that he may have a Learning Disorder.( one of which would be Aspergers)

There is a perception that people with Dyslexia or other underlying learning disorders are slow, but in fact they can be on the higher levels of intelligence, very creative but have weak social skills.. And each person displays it differently.

I find it very disturbing watching how Freddie is being treated as I have seen my children been bullied and unable to deal with it.

You may not agree with me, but I feel its important to say as I am aware of how such a person may be misunderstood.

When I watched it with my child last night we both shed a tear because we've been there.

How do you know that Freddie suffers with Dyslexia, Did i miss something big ?

Big Brother has doctors on the case.

They cannot afford to take risks.

My belief is that if they really thought that Freddy had some kind of personality / bipolar disorder then they would either not have let him in, or would have bailed him out by now.

On one episode, as part of a mini task, he had to stand in front of the rest of the house mates and talk about himself for 15 minutes, that's when he mentioned his Dyslexia

It has been suggested here on the Forum and Aspergers mentioned too.

Its just my observations, based on what I have learned from my children and being involved voluntarily with other children with various Learning Difficulties.

I'm just making the comment as I feel obliged too. Not really looking for anyone to agree with me.

Dyslexia is NOT a personality disorder!

It is a learning disorder - mainly related to reading and spelling!

Bi-polar is a depressive disorder!

They are all entirely different!!

People really should get their facts right before that make comments about such things!!

Also I think freddie needs time to think about situations to mull it over in his head and then he comes up with an answer..great if you have patient people but not so great when you have people that are impatient and get frustrated..sadly he has chosen to try and sort things out with Bea who does not posses a lot of patients.

THAT is exactly it,freddie likes to think about situations insted of wading in there feet first like most people do,it's not a bad trait but could be annoying sometimes for the impatient

I don't warm to freddie and especially not marcus but the way bea behaved last night was cruel...she needs an award for the worst actress.

Dymps...yes we knew about Freddie's dyslexia from the beginning but I dont think it has been WHY he was the outcast.......CLASS was always the issue..The Tory toff with a plum in his mouth...thats why lisa took against him...I know gay people here in the North (Im further North than lisa) who cannot entertain The shires Brigade...it wouldnt matter how hard Freddie had tried with Lisa...she made it clear in the first weeks she could have nothing to do with him in normal life.......solely based on class

In spite of his dyslexia (and asthma) Freddie has done amazingly...going to Oxford University after all..........where he was a controversial figure........

I find him the most REAL person in a reality tV show ever...he is the opposite of all the PLASTIC people we see in todays botoxed celebrity culture where everyone is plastically enhanced like Sophie........and wants to be either Chantelle or peter andre.
Whether he goes or stays this week, I feel ENORMOUSLY GRATEFUL to the producers of BB10 for letting us gett o know him a little for these 10 weeks. I would hardly have watched this series without him.

It's ok, I'm acting a prick, just blame it on some made up mental disorder.
