I think Ian has some issues, I don't think it is aspergers or autism. He has some OCD traits but who doesn't it is the degree that is disabling. We could all do with a little. I think he is just really very intelligent and it is hard to live in a world of midstream people. I am sure because of his intellect life has been very frustrating for him and some of his quirks are coping

They should turn this night into a surprise to honor the Evictees Britney maybe Danielle. Let's celebrate them both. They could make it cute special and memorable. Cute food, good champagne toates, gifts. Give each person a job to do. Make it fun!

The "that's what she said" quote may have been on The Office but I remember guys I went to high school with saying it all of the time back in the 70s.

Mom_of_three; I agree with you.. rocking is something my DH did as a youth,nothing wrong with him it was just relaxing for him... I think Ian is a nerd, and I have felt that he is auditioning for a part on The Big Bang Theory...the glasses all the things he is doing... the Ian cant lie, he cant handle fighting...he has shown us he can lie and he has no problem calling someone out when he doesnt get his way....I have thought he has been playing everyone from the start...and yes he is a bit weird....too..

I have been in health care and education. It is how much it hinders your life. Ian will be very successful. I have no doubt. I do think everyone has autistic and OCD and neurosis to a point it is how they function that is the determinate. Now, that aside. I would still love for Shane and Joe to man up and vote Dani out. That face would trump that "Dan, what was you talking about " face all to heck.

Oh, Abby! The event Boogie was saying was a great event was a different one. It was a woman's show in Edmonton in Canada that Boogie and Will went to. Boogie said that it was a great event. I don't know if they're still there but there used to be Youtubes of that event. Of course, that was 6 years ago (not long after BBAS) so I don't know if those vids are still there.

Trust me he has asbergers. It is a Form of autism. It is a broad spectrum of behaviors/afflictions that manifest very differently from one individual to another. There are many things asbergers patients have in common though. They don't understand emotional and social dynamics which can affect those closest to them, often in destructive ways. They often don't understand consequences. They are highly functioning and can be unusually intelligent. They will tend toward one or two tasks at which they are nearly savant and with which they will completely involve.

Michael Scott may have popularized the joke "that's what she said" but a very young Alfred Hitchcock was the first to say it on camera in the 1929 sound test for his film Blackmail.

I have noticed that Dan is sitting next to Brit again and I have a suspicion that there is a reason. He is trying to endear himself to her, so he will get her jury vote. Yes, I think he will be there in the end.

I know what aspergers is. I cared for several kids with it and they are usually of normal Intelligence and socially inept. They run from physical Interaction. Ian doesn't do that. He is socially inept but develops emotional bonds with people whether positive (Brit, Boogie,Dan) or negative (Frank,Joe) aspergers sufferers usually only have negative social interactions.

We all have seen Ian constantly having to move and even when no one is around, he does walk on his tippy toes. He may just have a slight case of something that we have no idea what it is. He's a really smart kid with a few tics.

Nana thank u. Jabelljba I respectfully disagree. I think that Ian is not on the spectrum. I really think he is playing to the cameras. I understand that those who suffer from aspergers or differing degrees of being on the spectrum are sometime socially awkward, they may not have empathy, they may say things differently.i feel like ian on the other hand is calculated. Just listening to what he says in the dr

I don't feel it is fair to diagnose anyone and then put a label on them...other then what we have seen of Ian on the feeds,we really have not right to say he has or hasn't. I have worked in the school system with kids with behavior problems, I am not in the medical field...I have a 21 year old son with a disability and I would hate for some one to label him...

Ya know none of us make our living diagnosing things seen on TV. If that were possible,we are really being hosed in his country paying for people to be tested. Just put them on a reality show!

Dani, not every question is directed towards you. Sometimes people actually want to have an answer from someone else.

It always seems like Jenn is trying to hard to me, like she doesn't really want to talk to these people but she has to, does it seem that way to anyone else?

You know Nana that is exactly correct to me. the reason I don't work in a hospital is because the patients are just room numbers and diagnoses. I left the school system because they put kids in a box with a diagnosis and never a thought outside of the box to help them just knew the diagnosis and the current school of thought on aforementioned diagnosis. Ian has gotten a helluva lot further than I would have gotten in this game and I say kudos!

Thank you Ark, I grew up in the 70's and I told my kids "that's what she said", was as old as the hills, I got a big ole "right mom". I am copying and pasting your post.
