Tim Dormer conflict with Channel 10

Not that I want to wish mental health issues on anyone because I don't, but I am not sure how else to say this. At this stage if it turned out to be marketing for something then he has gone too far and he, and whatever he is marketing for, are going to get backlash for it.
 
Reading his most recent post he is saying it was a prank I think... if so as I said above not so funny. If it is all a cry for help I hope he gets it.

Perhaps he's gone back on some meds.
 
As someone who’s struggled a bit with mental health I think it’s pretty obvious he’s going through it. In hindsight some of my most unhinged and problematic moments on this forum were tied to poor mental health.
It is a sad fact that a lot of gay men like us, despite their often very outgoing personalities, are hiding serious mental health struggles deep down inside.
 
His need to insist that it’s a normal autistic response makes me feel uncomfortable as a neurodivergent person. It sends the wrong message about what autism looks like to neurotypical people, autism looks different in everyone and I’m afraid his behaviour at the moment aligns more with psychosis than it does with neurodivergence
Honestly, as an autistic person, i think these type of comments (where the neurodivergent community seeks to distance themself as far as possible from any of their own publicly acting in ways seen as problematic) are really cruel, as they lack both common sense (sometimes autism is the reason behind some of these behaviors now) and compassion (as some of us me included once showed problematic behaviors when we were younger).
