I have a theory regarding Steven. I think he may be on the autism spectrum. He seems to have a number of the traits. First off he is very centred on what he can do,and constantly talks about himself and how he is. He is never that interested in how others are feeling unless it invloves himself. 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.

I have a daughter with a diagnosis of autism and i can say quite clearly he is not on the spectrum.

[Achilles]

My theory is that he is a knob slob blob

[Rageofangels]

I was thinking more of asbergers syndrome. I know a few people with that condition and he seems to tie in with quite a few of the traits. If I recall we're all in the autism spectrum, it's just there's a point where it becomes noticeable.

Just an observation.

To be on the spectrum you would need to have significant difficulty with imagination/social relationships and communication, he has no problems in any of these areas, eye contact is usually a tell tale sign and he has excellent eye contact.

I'm sure he's pretty normal. Self obsessed but not mentally ill.

My son has Asperger's Syndrome, and there are no similar traits that are comparable between Steven and my son.

Autistic people are not mentally ill they just see things and feel things in a different way to us mainstream folk.

Agreed and unfortunately always will be.

He has time to sort it out but it's Steven so no.

[LukeB]

my theory is he does not love kimberly, he loves himself

[sampvt]

I have researched and tried to understand this man and after weeks of research, lots of paper sifting and diagnostic analysis, I now have a prognosis and I am afraid you are all wrong, please excuse me for bursting your bubble but he has an acute case of a very rare disease brought about by a very sheltered up bringing and I can now tell you his illness is called being a simple self absorbed TWAT.

[JTM45]

I think the twat-tistic spectrum is more likely for Steven!

Lol! Probably a correct diagnosis but I have a sneaking suspicion that if we met him we might actually like him......

[2] to pretty much all these replies

Being an over-dramatic knob doesn't qualify you to have Aspergers /autism/any syndrome (and having grown up with someone who had it extreme, I'd know), it just means you're an over-dramatic knob

[Lwize]

He's on the Narcissist Spectrum

[Bedouin]

He certainly seems to have a very low EQ. Reminded me in some ways of someone I knew with Aspergers. His complete lack of self awareness among countless other signs just show he wasn't nurtured well.

..I agree with Ruby, he shows every sense of social awareness, it's just that his awareness is all of himself and think that maybe Sam, without his medical experience comes closest to Steven's diagnosis...

Second that but he does have a high degree of cunning. Right from the first week I did not like the bloke and as the show progressed those feelings grew,but somehow he managed to make me feel bad about having those thoughts.! And even voicing them on here.

I genuinely believed that his eviction and interviews would break him yet he cruised along turning a negative situation into at the very least a neutral one.Even managing to sway some into thinking that Goode is good.

So yes I still think he is a Twat but a cunning and manipulative one.

..absolutely Mick, I thought for a while that maybe he was just trying too hard and it was coming over all wrong but I think in time he started to show his manipulation of people....

Literally the only trait I can see is him being terminally self-involved, but, from what we've seen of "mummy", I'm pretty certain this is just "golden boy syndrome". He was spoiled rotten and could do no wrong, mummy spent a lot of time and energy getting him to believe that he was "special" and "better than the other little boys". He still believes it.
