    Nope, he's not special. Just a common or garden run of the mill nerd.

    I'm not so sure myself. If relative of people suffering from aspergers are debating this, I think it may be worth considering.

    What a horrible thing to say. We are all special. Apart from Craig.

    I'm not so sure either. He definitely has some form of anxiety...his reaction to tasks is a giveaway.

    Special needs? Nope. Just a boring baffoon.

    That's because none of us are qualified to say. And we shouldn't be commenting anyway. This kind of discussion is too heavy for a BB forum, and too controvertial.

    He's just a geek

    He doesn't appear to have problems bonding with people he just has nothing in common with other people so he talks a lot

    the fact he is a virgin is probably becuase he's not exactly attractive and he's boring

    I dont think he has aspergers at all

    Well it's sad if that is the case. I don't believe it's something to be ashamed of. If he does have aspergers we should be proud of him for being so brave as to enter the house, not try to hide such things.

    Exactly, i don't see anything wrong in discussing what we think, no-one is stating fact and saying that he does have it.

    As has been stated on BBLB, Eugene is not at all unattractive, his geekiness probably turns people off though

    Agreed. Boring, unattractive nerd.

    Only a proper assessment can really settle it, but he shows definite indications and I would be suprised if he wasn't on the spectrum somewhere. I am a bit Aspy myself - not the full blown syndrome and it doesn't make us bad people :)

    Eugene is just a shy person who is more into his hobbies than he is into other people, but all the same is a courteous and well brought up person mature enough to realise that couple-dom isn't something that appeals to him. I know several people like Eugene, and am not far off being like that myself. Being loud and selfish and over-sexed is not a prerequisite of "being normal"

    Sometimes I think some of the people who watch BB get the housemates they deserve.

    Sorry, ,I don't think it's very fair to raise speculation over something like this

    I'm only asking for peoples views on whether he has aspergers. Saying he's unnatractive is completely unrelated to the topic in hand. Maybe you're unnattractive but you don't see me voicing an opinion on that.

    I wonder just why with his obvious shyness, anxiety and nervousness, he chose to apply for BB....

    It could enlighten people to aspergers, so I don't think it's wrong to talk about it. It's as if it's something so terrible we shouldn't discuss it, like sexuality used to be. If a lady who has a son with aspergers is sad that eugene/asperegers posts keep getting deleetd, I think that alone is food for thought.

    there are plenty of ugly boring people with sex lives - all the accountants where I work for a start. :D

    And whether or not he has Aspergers - it is still very admirable that he has pushed himself to do something like this. We can't all be natural born media stars, it is good to see that difference can be acceptable - and Craig and Kinga look increasingly bad for mocking him.

    Eugene is a perfectly normal person. It's not his fault that the other HMs have no sense of humour or of curiosity about life outside of their own concerns
