OH...I am sure that Ian is well aware of the cameras. In fact, this season, I have noticed so much more being said about BBAD or Showtime as they refer to it. Last night they even commented that the Thursday show started an hour later!

I don't think he's faking nervous ticks or talking to himself. Al Pacino couldn't pull off that kind of consistency. The kid is autistic...he's a high functioning, extremely intelligent, autistic young man. I'm very impressed with him!

It is so easy to say someone is on the spectrum these days. When I used to teach I actually had quite a few students who were on the spectrum. I just really think that Ian might not be. I think he seems very calculating. Almost like he can dish it and not take it.

Oh, he's calculating alright. He's extremely smart. But he's autistic. One really doesn't have anything to do with the other.

Ian has Asberger's Syndrome. A type of autism. High-functioning. Wide spectrum of behaviors (it's different with each individual). Trouble with social and emotional processes.

I do think that Ian's downfall will be his mind's over confidence in the game. He tends to express outloud that he is better than he actually is. He quite easily gets the big head and mentions how highly he is in BB history. That thinking out loud lets the viewers insight to his over-confidence. His total knowledge of the game is his strong point. Anyone ever notice how casually the others often rake his brain for facts...giving them more of an edge by gaining knowledge plus at the same time stoking his ego !!!! Ok...trying to get off my soapbox..

I am well aware of aspergers. I just will not diagnose unless it's said. I really think if he did have the syndrome that CBS would have done a segment on it , rather a segment of him jumping around in pink under wear or spying on the girls in the shower

The only thing that Ian has said is he has ADD and does not take meds. And here comes hula hoop time

not without his blessing they won't. And Aspergers and Autism are so close...most Doctors still argue over the differences. There's no really way to distinguish between the two this way

And who here are doctors or psychologists that can readily diagnose this? And I am not talking about mothers of children or teachers or grandparents or nurses.

And who here is so confident of their abilities to diagnose without seeing the person in person. I would guess no one. These tags are being thrown around after seeing live feeds and edited TV show

I am calling BS. No physician would do that mainly because you can't charge a fee.

He may not want to announce it, but if he had it some of the clips that CBS has used can be really offensive, I just don't think that CBS would use them if he was on the spectrum

I'm an "almost doctor" and the only diagnosis that I am willing to make is that Dani is CRAZY!
