Gregg Wallace’s latest claim.

I imagine he probably sought a ‘diagnosis’ in November 24 when he was asked to stand down from Masterchef whilst investigations began….conveniently.

In the article I read, GW appeared to be saying that he had recently been diagnosed. This revelation explained everything for him, and was presumably made much of in an attempt to move on from his earlier comments, suggesting that middle aged women had no sense of humour and had decided to gang up on him. What will next week bring?

A pop-up this am, announced that “over half of the allegations against GW have been substantiated.

I read of many adults seeking diagnoses of e.g. ASC or ADHD nowadays and saying that it explains how they’ve felt or how it’s made them behave or affected their lives all these years.

I wonder what made GW seek a diagnosis?

Does it mention when he sought it, or why?

Gregg Wallace just needs to STFU.(shut the flip up)

Wallace is a disgusting, arrogant creep. The Autism Society have debunked his latest nonsensical claims, and anyone with autistic relatives or friends should be outraged.

Oh, and how odd that none of his 35 or so ex-wives (?!) have come forward to plead for understanding re the poor fellow, as they all knew about his 'autism'?

Exactly this larfergar

Which bit do you want an answer to larfargar?

I understand now. Your friend in education thinks that some parents are using a diagnosis to get benefits?

They kept me there too Iam for many years. When I bought papers daily the Guardian was always me go-to on the way into work. Then the new daily ‘i’ appeared. At only 20p too, I bought the first issue and continued …

The ‘I’ has a great puzzle section too.

FGT, Marina Hyde (and John Crace) are two journalists who draw me back to the Guardian

Excellent article by Marina Hyde she’s nailed it!

And having the gift of the gab quite often...

It's not what you know, it's who you know.

But there are loads of av a laf blokes about? Some of them probably very nice.
How do these people get these jobs?

I often thing these type of " characters" must have friends in the right places.

Devoid of any talent or professional training they rise to the top.

Aveline, it is an interesting topic but I will say no more as I have been put in my place.

Greg Wallace was in the right place at the right time.
He was hired about the time when the bbc decided to appeal more to the man in the street
Then hey ho along comes the av a larf greengrocer.
He supplied to all the top restaurants in London where he probably came into contact with people who had contacts.
It’s the way the world goes round.

Eddiecat78, they should be ashamed of themselves when they state they have a bit of bi-polar to pass off bad behaviour.
My friend who is a teacher, said that when they capped the child benefit for two children, that’s when all these diagnoses for attention deficit & autism escalated.

Why? Sorry I don't understand.

The latest social media driven craze is POTS - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Apparently lots of girls and young women now have this.
I remember when my GP Dad complained about patients thinking they had botulism after the papers blew up the corned beef scare.

Didn't he need counselling to cope with the rigours of Strictly?

No I don’t like him, seems like a real creep.
Every man & his dog seems to be autistic these days.

I remember a newspaper article written by a GP saying that a few years ago his surgery was filled with people thinking they were bi-polar. It was around the time several celebrities had made it known that they were. The GP said that today nobody comes to him suspecting bi-polar and his surgery is now filled with people thinking they are autistic.

Guardian!

I think the article in the garden was tongue in cheek.
