Jade is dyslexic....?

[Someone]

I know I know, bringing this up after a while (sorry)
Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Jade, I liked her in the beginning and half way through the show. She's not my favourite but I DON'T hate her so please don't take this as a hate post from me.
At the beginning of the show I was posting a lot more than I am now but I've stopped posting as much because I've been spending most of my computing time researching Autism and Aspergers as my son is now in the beginning stages of being diagnosed with high functioning autism/Aspergers.
Last night while scrolling through the forum and reading lots of posts about Jade I started seeing a lot of similarities of people with aspergers so I did a search here to see if anyone else has suspected this and I found this thread.

What got me thinking is Jade's obsession with Ed. She's obsessed with Ed, too much that he is all she talks about with other people. She doesn't notice that they are getting bored with the subject and so keeps going on and on and on... She strictly follows rules and never breaks them - this goes more for adults on the spectrum than young kids. She avoids eye contact, When I see her speak to someone she's always looking somewhere else. Yes she sometimes does look people in the eye SOMETIMES but mainly she's looking somewhere else. She speaks in a monotone voice a lot.

In her time in the house Jade has not displayed any more symptoms of Aspergers than any other typical human being would display if you watched them for three months and compared all of their behaviours to the diagnostic checklist.

Her obsession with Ed is not the sort of obsession that people who get lumped into the Aspergers category tend to display. She doesn't speak in a monotone voice, and if she avoids eye contact its probably because she has an anxiety problem (she has spoken about having panic attacks and she shakes terribly when nervous).

She's an emotional person who makes decisions with her heart, not her head. People who get lumped into the Aspergers category are logical and analytical. She doesn't lack social skills, and the terrible way she approaches relationships is unfortunately quite common among women.

If you meet someone who properly fits the Aspergers category, no matter how mildly, then you should be able to pick up on it instinctively. You don't need to go through a checklist if you've met enough adults like it before. Before the term Aspergers syndrome was ever heard of, we used to use the term "nerd". If they aren't a nerd, then they don't fit the Aspergers diagnosis.

She is too introverted for Asperger's and if you were placing her in either it would have to be autistic and she just doesn't have enough of the signs of it.

But people who fit the Aspergers criteria are almost always very introverted...
