At risk of coming over all woke and that

Arent we being a trifle harsh on him, and failing to recognise what we might call his "neurodiversity"?

Based on all of his actions, behaviour, postings here and elsewhere, tv interviews etc, its pretty clear to me that he is "on the spectrum" somewhere. No idea what - autism, OCD, could be a bundle of things. But he's clearly a little bit "unique" in a bunch of ways.

He clearly has no idea how he is viewed, how people interpret what he says and does, how a normal person works out what is important, what isnt. He's far too busy worrying about whether the club shop have this that or the other in his size, in the right shade of orange, whether he'll able to watch some non-league player he read about somewhere during his 5 day trip, that sort of thing.

In short, is there a danger that we're all piling in to our very own Rainman? Bless him.
