Exactly, they all seem to adore her and want to make sure she's alright, no one is getting treated badly because of it

As Marsh said it's not like Ann has a secret indoor bedroom .

And I repeat, her aspergers isn't effecting her time in the jungle...her obesity is.

Nick said that he was always going to give the pillow to the person who needed it most. I'm sure if, say, Fleur hadn't slept a wink since entering she would've had it.

I doubt she would have taken it if he had, not that he would have...she would have had the common decency to say no....no Nick, that is your luxury item and I don't need you patronising thank you.

You do realise alot of people would of struggled with the under water trial right ?!!, luckily forJohn he's an excellent swimmer . I actually think even Malique would of struggled as he seems easily panicked . And not everyone is a good swimmer .

I remember Rebecca Adlington still had to be exempt from certain trials due to her asthma despite her being athletic.

She can't really do much at all, can she!

Do you bang on this much when someone is too skinny and weak?

You seem awfully offended by someone else's weight.

What has that got to do with Anne getting special treatment,? the special treatment I've just proven she is getting by being excused tasks because of her self inflicted condition!

it could well be that Anne can not swim and that was why she couldn’t do last night’s trial

Do you honestly believe that will be the only one she is excused from?

I can promise you that not one will be because if her aspergers, that's for sure.

Anne isn't the only person to be exempt from trials for one reason or another.

And I'm sure the camp mates would rather someone who didn't have an illness, a disability or a condition that would prevent them from completing a trial. Whether that is Anne or anybody else.

But, what I said has everything to do with what you posted, you seem awfully offended by someone else's weight. Do you get offended by underweight people too?

yes a lot of this is to do with being morbidly obese and the others are using her autism as a way of circumnavigating this fact to excuse her

its being polite, but it wont last

I agree with this. I think there are a lot of things she can do that are not affected by her condition. She has admitted shes lazy....probably why she is obese...and I think that if other people are willing to do things for her she will let them do it. I would like to see her getting involved with SOMETHING...even preparing the veg would be something...but she needs to push herself a bit more physically..she can fetch or gather wood with someone else...but if she is going to be an inspiration she needs to start getting involved and pushing those boundaries.

Blatant ignorance on here

Given how there's never been any signs of ableism on this forum among the racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia we see in on-season, I honestly thought people would have the compassion to understand someone struggles.

Meanwhile people say Anne's only "claiming" to have Asperger's and that she dragged the public's view on autism 'years back'. It's utterly vile and the fact people are unwilling to understand and respect that she's autistic vile.

Also I think those people misunderstand the desire for "equal treatment" minorities have. As a disabled person, I want to be treated equally in society - I want to be confident that my disability won't affect my employment and that I will not be judged for it.
That doesn't necessarily mean I want to be held to the same standards as able-bodied people. Like, if someone expected me to run 100m (heck, even walking it can take it out of me) alongside athletes, I would refuse, and the logic some of these people would have would be "well you wanna be treated equally right? So why are you wanting special treatment?"

Which seems like such an odd example to bring up, but when we consider that Anne is being judged for being exempt from trials on medical grounds (and we don't even know what those grounds are) it's just ridiculous. Part of getting equality is recognises differences and accommodating them - no way should (a demographic - depending on their impairment) disabled people be held to the expectation they should be physically equal to able bodied people because we want to be treated fairly

Donald Trump inspires people, does this mean he's exempt from criticism or nasty comments?

And it's fine to be nasty about another person, so don':t pull others up about doing it when you do it yourself.

Have you known her for 60 odd years?

Well, unless she's displayed any of those tendencies in public, you're not going to treat someone like sh*t just on the off chance she might be homophobic or racist.

Compared to a man running one of the world's most powerful countries based on his own hatred.

What a silly comparison.
