He has often offered theories about things which have been completely and utterly wrong, and his attempts to project an image of living a Bohemian lifestyle is embarrassing and delusional and very immature. He is not socially competent and often destroys conversations and social interactions, and he has learnt to fill the ensuing gaps with his embarrassing supposedly heartfelt sighs which are designed to project some self-contentment when they reveal quite the opposite, that he can't understand why his conversational skills fail so often.

Here is a paragraph taken from an article written by Freddie`s father which goes some way to explaining his son`s eccentricities........and to be honest I think he has coped amazingly well overcoming such a debilitating condition....

During his years at Shrewsbury, Freddie was diagnosed with severe dyslexia. It was more than just poor spelling. He had to learn many new skills and deploy other talents to compensate for his real difficulties. Dyslexia does not go away. Today Freddie copes well but does see the world in a very different way from most people. This adds to his pronounced eccentricity

How does having difficulties with the written word account for his eccentricities???
Dyslexia in itself wouldnt make Freddie hesitant in speech or even cause difficulties in finding the right words to say.A lot of dyslexics are highly articualte as a strategy to avoid the written word!!

You are wrong. People with dyslexia can also have problems with spoken language......they may find it difficult to
express themselves clearly, or to fully comprehend what others mean
when they speak.

On the contrary
many children with dyslexia are highly articulate.And theres no link with the ability to decode language and comprehension or indeed intelligence.
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability(or difference if you want to be PC).
I've no doubt Freddie hasnt had to work hard to oversome it,but dyslexia in itself wouldnt account for anyone's poor semantic skills

Yes it would. There are different levels of dyslexia - Freddie has the most severe type and it DOES affect the way he speaks and interacts with people.

I don't like Halfwit but perhaps that a bit harsh. It's good to see some objective posts on him though.
