Tbf if I'm wrong then great, but if I'm right then I'll still like Ali to a point, but I would be disappointed with the strategy.

I really hope Ali lets her hair down , and tries bonding with the boys more bar Marcello of course.

Bar Nathan, she seemed to bond with Izaaz the most out of the lads.

I think that is probably because he is calm, patient, considerate and compassionate as a person. It would make sense for her to be drawn to someone with those characteristics.

Just like everyone else, people on the spectrum can have different types of friendships.

Personality wise, Ali seems like a caring, compassionate and protective person, and this might draw her to Lily. She might also recognise Lily, like herself, as being someone who has difficulties fitting in socially, so could well be connecting with her for this reason.

I would imagine that when Lily is out of control, loud and chaotic, she would want to calm her down in order to make the environment around her calmer, and I would also imagine there are many parts of the day when she would need time out from Lily’s company.

Remember, we are only shown short extracts over about 45 minutes on each main show, and considering the number of people in there, and the number of interactions that would occur over a 24 hour period, a full picture of what is happening will be unknown to us.

If it's so unknown to us, why are you totally disregarding peoples opinions about ali, and her level of adhd, when you've not had the full.picture either.

It would help if people could stop saying she has autism when those words never came out her mouth.

I stand to be corrected.

I’m not disregarding people’s opinions about Ali. I agreed with Sheriff that Ali’s traits were less pronounced than in others.
I am just trying to create some awareness and understanding of how the Autistic mind works, and how it can affect someone’s behaviour within social settings. My aim is to give another perspective for people to consider. If it is not coming across that way, then all I can do is apologise, and be more mindful in future.

Am I the only one that finds Izaaz phony?

I'm not saying that he is a horrible person, but he does seem to be a bit of a drip.

It's like the Hunger Games just started and somebody had to snap him out of it to get his sword & shield... "hey dude, this a game... you playin'?"

He definitely likes to be overly nice imo.

I am always weary of people like that.

Well she mentioned forming an ' alliance ' with Nathan. I wish they'd show more of her conversations with the other guys. I heard that she's speaking more to them on live feed , hopefully it makes some of the HL tonight.
