she wasn't taking on board a word he said, she's made a snap judgement of him out of nowhere. Even when he tried apologising,she just shut him down and walked off in a very weird passive aggressive way. She's made up her mind about him...and she clearly won't give him a chance.

Does she think she's above him ? . She's stuck up and seems to have a permanent scowl on her face . If she wants to psycho analyse the housemates, maybe she should try and apply for the therapist job next time on L& L ...but somehow I think Judi James' job is safe... So Judi has nothing to worry about.

Only time I've seen Ali crack a smile is when Nathan broke wind . She really is a sour lemon .

I can understand your response, as even though I understand why Ali might have behaved as she did, on this occasion, I don’t think she handled the situation well, and I didn’t like how she made her accusations and humiliated Khaled in a very public way, even though to her, she probably perceived her behaviour as honest, genuine and direct.

If she felt this way, it would have been kinder and more appropriate to have discussed it with Khaled in a personal, rather than public setting.

I do kind of agree that her perception of Khaled has been influenced and formed with her professional head on, rather than from norms of behaviour in a social setting - the first approach of which she would find a confident and comfortable way of thinking, whilst the second would be much more difficult for her to understand. Autistic people can become quite fixated on an idea, and I feel that Ali has made a judgement of Khaled that she cannot now shake off, and which might influence her perception of everything he does in future. I don’t personally agree with her perception, or find her judgement justified.

Even though I might understand why she may have behaved as she did, I don’t believe she chose the right approach on this occasion, and I do wonder whether she might recognise that when she has had some time to think.
