Steven would be very low down on the Autistic Spectrum - he is extremely extroverted and gregarious. If any housemate is high on the AS it is Christopher.

We get this every series, so and so is autistic, so and so has aspergers , pretty sure the HM would know if they had a disability and they would talk about it. Diagnosing HMs with syndromes is just ridiculous. Steven since he emerged has proven himself very capable of handling interviews, and actually comes across as quite a nice guy, though maybe a bit gullible when it comes to love, and loves to talk about himself but that is all.

He is a very intelligent guy and has a good head for business. He has tics or habits that he constantly doesn't, like trying to pull out nose hairs. His dress sense isn't that great. He walks in a similar was to some autistic people.

If that is true, and I'm not saying it is, but if it is then he comes across as a much more interesting character.

Problem with this theory is that he does NOT have a head for business and is not particularly intelligent but rather says he is. The wise man is the man who does not claim to be wise at all.
His "business" is a joke, he was desperate for the cash. He said he had a great judge of character, he was not.

Steve was the ultimate personification of David Brent.
