do you think jon james has mild form of aspergers

Zippy · 20-07-2010, 11:33 PM

You should tell us what it is first. I cant be arsed googling it.

Stacey. · 20-07-2010, 11:34 PM

Never heard of that.

watchinittoomuch · 20-07-2010, 11:38 PM

No.

My son has Asperger's Syndrome so I would recognise the signs.

Jords · 20-07-2010, 11:39 PM

No.

MusicMan · 20-07-2010, 11:39 PM

If he does have it, it's mild as you suggest
But I don't think he has it
My friend has Asperger's, it's a form of autism, a social impairment which makes it difficult for the sufferer to understand people, and often like to be alone (generalising a bit). It is also common for sufferers to have a specific talent or strength, for example my friend has an amazing memory for dates and history etc, other affected people are fantastic mathematicians or musicians, for example.

Miss Ivy Balls · 20-07-2010, 11:43 PM

No way. I have a friend who has it and she gets frightened around new people/certain situations. John James is a confident person who will take anyone on in any argument.

Angus · 20-07-2010, 11:44 PM

No, JJ has a borderline personality disorder - he displays most of the symptoms. He has severe trust issues which seem to be at the root of his anger.

Stacey. · 20-07-2010, 11:44 PM

What's autism?

fingers · 20-07-2010, 11:45 PM

He more or less told Josie on the couch tonight that he has a pathological hatred of liars, she was appalled at this psycopathic admission, even though she's not the sharpest tack in the box.

Frank E · 20-07-2010, 11:49 PM

No, there seems no basis for a Psych assessment for Aspergers.

Speedster · 20-07-2010, 11:51 PM

No. My Niece has apergers. What this freak has is a bad attitude and bad manners.

Alpertinator · 20-07-2010, 11:54 PM

I'm shocked that some people here have no idea what it is. Zippy? I thought you were a smart arse.

Anyway, I personally think mild asbergers is much more common than most people think. I have it. Mild. I voted yes. I think JJ shows signs of it.

I noticed someone say their son has it so they'd know the signs which is a fair point but there's different levels of it, and most people who know they have it know cos' it's an intense level of it. Me I didn't find out 'til last year, and my dad almost certainly has it and still doesn't know (even though people have told him, he denies it and gets asberger angry) and he will never accept that he has bad asbergers' much worse than me cos' he's so old fashioned. He's basically isolated himself from society and me and my brother can hardly stand him anymore. You got asbergers' then you gotta' accept it and learn to deal with it basically.

I think JJ has it, mild spectrum.

Bit of a strong diagnosis there Dr Angus lol. I do see him as very emotionally immature though.

He admitted tonight that he has a pathological hatred of liars!

not that he dislikes liars - he has a pathological hatred for them!

But how do we know how deep this 'hatred' actually is?

Jarvio · 21-07-2010, 12:04 AM

What the hell?!

Of course he hasn't got frickin aspergers, do you even know what it is OP?

It's a form of autism but instead of making people introvert, they're very extrovert and are often (if not always) hyper active.

A very basic piece of information about AS ^^

I dont think JJ has any of the signs.

as90 · 21-07-2010, 12:06 AM

I've taught some kids/teens with aspergers and JJ definitely does not have aspergers, so far JJ has been accused of many things, he's generally a decent guy.

If you had seen the conversation you'd know what I mean, but it will never make the HLs or be covered on the BB site!

I said pathological, does that tell you anything?

Yeah I have it too.. well mild autism.. I was acting different when I was like 1/2 years old then well my parents found out that I was part of the autistic spectrum. Aww I don't have an amazing talent.. which is a shame. Sometimes when someone asks you a question.. it is like you have to think of it twice as long before answering at times.. or there is a lot of other traits to do with it too. Lol I don't mind being alone either. I don't like being around a group of people for too long. I get nervous and flustered around big crowds of people.. at my work..I have only just got used to being around quite a few people.

I don't think JJ has it.. but I could be wrong.

Alpertinator · 21-07-2010, 12:12 AM

Okay people are being way too harsh on the OP.

Some people don't fully know what their on about. It's not really right to say that JJ doesn't have any of the signs whatsoever. To be honest there are a lot of symtoms of the syndrome and therefore many people have signs of it, even if they don't have asbergers (JJ possibly falls into this category).

And Speedster what you said was more relevant to ADHD. Asbergers' are more extrovert yeah, but not neccesarily hyperactive. They're intense... definitely very intense.

Anyway I said in my other post that for the most part the people who actually know that they have asbergers' know because they have an intense spectrum of it... people such as myself, with an incredibly mild spectrum, may go a lot of their life if not all of it without knowing. I was only diagnosed last year and I don't consider it a problem... other than that my mum seems to love talkin' about it.

Doesn't mean BPD really though. His issues probably stem from his Dad dying and the fact he had to quit wor to comfort his mum. He definitely has a lot going on up there though. Could do with a Psychiatrist.
