Greg Wallace’s autism means that he can’t wear underwear. Really?

Headline in today’s Times. As a mother of a diagnosed autistic DS I find this playing of the disability card pretty offensive. He also blames the BBC for not supporting him in managing his disability. He is capable of putting a sock on his privates when exposing himself to lowly and therefore vulnerable female staff members, so it seems that he got over his sensory sensitivities to some extent. His consistent blaming of others and absolute lack of self-awareness or remorse for his actions is just reprehensible I think.

@Cherrytree86 i was responding to the OPs question as per the title of the thread. After getting annoyed by reading in a news article comments from a so-called expert in autism that they were unaware of autistic people being able to wear underwear. OP asked the question. I answered.

I have no idea whether he is a flasher or had a wardrobe malfunction. In all honesty I don’t care. But I do get very annoyed by self declared experts declaring that X or Y is not an ‘autism thing’ when they haven’t the faintest.

Thank you. How do you fight behind the scenes? What does this look like?

I suspect his PR team are totally fed up with him.

Depends on the PR company but if they’re big enough, sometimes it’s a case of, ‘if you don’t print this story, we’ll give you an exclusive on this other bigger story’. It’s a trading system.
