Abs was in CBB many years ago, and he described himself as having Asperger's.
I think he playing everyone, acts like an uncouth yob, when with the younger HM's. But can manage a sensible, articulate, conversation when talking one to one with someone like Saira.
Maybe he is good at self preservation, if you don't present yourself as a threat to those who think they will win BB, they are less likely to nominate you.

I wasn't really being serious.
When you think about it, that would make Bear George. Can you imagine George in a pink feather boa?

Interesting theory. Would explain why he quickly backs down when called out about things he's said and agrees to apologise. "We're good, right ?"
I really don't see him as on the spectrum at all
I just see him as a loud mouthed sycophantic moron to Lewis and Bear who is now suffering their disapproval after trying to think for himself

You are obviously taking the p***?
Carrie was a shy and quiet girl.
Although, Bear deserves some bloody sanitary towels thrown at his head.

There is no such thing as "Asperger's Spectrum"...
And I've seen you insulting people quite a few times when they haven't insulted you... Perhaps you should follow your own philosophy?
For goodness sake - maybe Heavy has issues, maybe he hasn't - either way it doesn't give him the right to be a knob to Chloe just because she doesn't fancy him!!! He is actually getting quite creepy about it. In my opinion.

Well, unless it's fried in vegetable oil, it isn't bad for it.
I really felt for him last night when he said :
" yer bu' fi in like she din fon shu' said nu' an' buf if nah no , an' fif anf fif uh uh ."
