Not in response to anyone in particular, everyone has traits that will fit in the spectrum its when these traits start to affect daily life that it becomes an issue for the person. i really dont care what JS does in his fishing because it wont affect me,i certainly wish my photo album was like his but dont have the time or the inclination to go to those efforts. The furore he creates in forums like this are amusing at times and worth a read, however i do think everyone needs to be a little nicer to each other, as said many times opinions are likes arse holes we all have one but dont need to share them. Just think about whats being said before typing.
Have a fab day

I think the guy who had a go has fallen into the trap of of thinking all people with Aspergers are non verbal, can’t make eye contact etc. It’s a very old fashioned way of viewing what is a wide ranging disorder. Hence we now have a spectrum. My missus is a nurse, one of their best surgeons is on the aspergers spectrum he struggles in social situations and with confrontations but he is what’s known as a High functioning case ie apart from those two situations there is nothing wrong with him, his mind just works differently.
I think Jim Shelley if I’m honest has just done too many bloody drugs back in the day if I’m honest, there was a thread a while ago about nick Helleur and his odd personality unlike Jim nick has been open about his drug use on the rave scene, they both have a shifty vibe to them that often comes from heavy drug use and before anyone goes how can you be qualified to say that, I will reiterate what I said on that thread.
I’m a chef I work in an industry with a real drug problem, I work with people everyday who display similar traits as both anglers mentioned even now they are clean and have been for a while it’s given them certain ticks as it were. Jim’s appears to be paranoia, nicks appears to be he can’t talk about one thing for more than a few seconds without going off on a completely different tangent

Asperger's, same as me. Like you I find it very hard to back down over things. Also being in a crowd can send me into a panic. Most people can't live with how "short" my verbal skills are and think I'm being an arse or dismissive with them on purpose.
If I ever mention that that I'm on the spectrum to somebody they always seem to think it makes you into some kind of genius too

I am sure that there are many anglers who have some level of Autistic Spectrum Disorder as in all human activity. "
Yes. I'm one of them. Hence I know a bit about it. Hope your little bitch fit you've just had has made you feel good about yourself.
I am as well, Aspbergers syndrome or whatever it has now been called, putting me in the Autistic Spectrum, diagnosed at the age of 45 after a few years of stress through work.
I do know that ASD means I can be an argumentative git when I know I'm in the right.
That does not mean I go out of my way to break rules fish where I shouldn't, or behave in a manner that is anti-social

Sorry knickersniffer and boonylocks but time to shut up. I am sure that there are many anglers who have some level of Autistic Spectrum Disorder as in all human activity. Your ignorant, innacurate and insensitive words and statements don't do you or this forum any favours. Think BEFORE you speak. I have no intention of developing this further, but this needed to be said.

"Highly autistic" people can barely perform daily functions or live a normalish life, I doubt that they would be able to cope with going fishing on their own.
But I do agree that mega successful people in general (not just fishing) have brains that just don't work the same as the average joe out there. Often this at odds with "normal" peoples behaviour or moral standards. They are often loners who don't have to worry about being socially accepted and carp angling is an ideal pastime for people of that ilk. They have traits that are often seen on the ASD spectrum, but will be very low on the spectrum.

Did I work for Korda? 😂 😂 😂. Nor do I idolise Jim Shelly. I think you must be a korda groupie one that owns a set of ali's punder ants. Korda have turned carp fishing into a circus show and if you don't see that then obviously you need to go to speksavers.. I remember you from my previous profile and a post spouting your nonsense seems things never change
