The Young Ones.. so often it's fun to be autistic...

The Young One.. yup! If you remember them you are as old as me...

Replaying now on BBC iplayer.

K, so which ones do we reckon are on the Spectrum...

Not Mike, he's too sauve and savvy. Much too much EQ and knows how to use it.

Rick - so, zero social awareness, obsessed with Cliff Richard's - clearly his special interest and permanently on the verge of, if not actually in actual melt down. And so very 'right on' politically. Defo for me

Neil, well.... chilled, but couldn't organise his way out of a paper bag and soooooo moral, but zero idea about personal hygiene. Certainly has traits, but very touchy feely though. Dyspraxic maybe?

Viv oh dear, don't know what to make of him. Melt down material too, but not quite autistic...ADHD perhaps??? Very bright but zero attention span and short temper.

Good God! Am I seeing myself in my university days? At least I didn't fail. Got to laugh when we see ourselves, huh? There must be a reason I loved that show...apart from Alexie Sale, who was way to sensible for me.

Lol

  • Never missed an episode, I didn’t realise it at the time but it was actually one of my special interests.  ( could that have been me being autistic!)  Chertsey Balowski was one of my Favourites, too sensible?  “Come out little pigs”.  'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor? There can’t be another song with the line,” I keep tropical fish in my underpants”!  First time I had seen Lemmy singing Ace of Spades.  Sorry to go on but you have reignited one of my interests and I’m smiling for the first time this week.

    LOL, point taken.  Relatively compared to Rick and Viv, that's sensible. LOL
