When I heard he was going to be in it I originally thought that he would be one of the most outgoing characters but he seems quiet and likes to do his own thing a lot of the time. Do you think he could be?

I wouldn't have thought so - I guess he's just not as outgoing as his public persona is.

I would think anyone with autism would find it very, very difficult in there with the unpredictability of it all.

Not everyone who is quiet and likes to be alone is autistic .

From my degree at Armchair Diagnosis, I too can diagnose people from the comfort of my living room!

Seriously, people who are quiet aren't always autistic. Some people can be outgoing and be on the autistic spectrum. Being quiet, shy and/or an introvert isn't a bad thing, nor is it the symptom of being autistic.

I've just realized that if I was in IAC, BB, or the like, people would be creating threads on DS asking if I was autistic. (I'm not.)

Never heard of him, nor do I want to .

He seems unable to have any meaningful conversation . Looks completely lost in there .

I know two autistic people and neither of them are quiet. If someone seems quiet and shy then there's a fair chance that they are just quiet and shy.

I suspect it's what happens if your life experience has been restricted to a particular group of people in a particular place. Possibly a very young David Cameron would be completely lost, too. Cameron obviously had the opportunity to travel and a great education, but that's only useful if you pay attention!

I wish he did have Aspergers, he might be mildly more interesting

I just wonder why he is there as he is getting 0% screen time and the little we see of him he is away from the other celebs not really taking part. He didn't even want to join in the pool party for example saying it was not really his thing.

he's a right little stick-in-the mud isn't he, I bet his live shows are a blast?

Bearing in mind only 45 minutes or so of 24 hours is broadcast per show, and within that 45 minutes, some of it is taken up by Ant & Dec talking, the constant reminders to vote, the trial and the Dingo-Dollar-Challenge, so if you're not selected for either of those, there's very little air-time available. And if some people in there are more entertaining then you'll not really appear on screen.

The real test is when the numbers reduce. If Tinchy is still quiet then fair enough, but at the moment maybe he's just less interesting/entertaining than the others rather than being very quiet.

Only if I'm autistic too, and I'm not. It's actually not necessary to be screamingly sociable 24/7, you know.

Quite frankly, that's insulting to autistic people. He's clearly not autistic.
He's just boring and doesn't want to contribute. I don't understand why he even went in there (surely not just for the money !!).

He's just a miserable little person happy to do and say nothing and take the money.

More of the more extroverted characters are in the limelight at the moment maybe after if some of them leave he'll get more airtime if he's still there.

I don't think that he is artistic, it might become more apparent when he is raping with Michael Buerk.

I wonder how he will feel when he comes out and realises he hasn't had any airtime. Lol.
