THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! Craig Nicholls of The Vines has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome!
"Asperger Syndrome is a neurobiological disorder which causes the sufferer to exhibit autistic-like behavior and marked deficiencies in social and communication skills... People with AS have difficulties with transitions or changes and prefer sameness. They often have obsessive routines and may be preoccupied with a particular subject of interest... Asperger Syndrome has only been recognized by professionals for a few years and those diagnosed with the disorder are often overly sensitive to sounds, tastes, smells, and sights. The person with AS may prefer soft clothing, certain foods, and be bothered by sounds or lights no one else seems to hear or see... These neurological differences may cause odd or unusual behavior. Before diagnosis, those with the condition are sometimes thought of as eccentric, absent minded, socially inept or awkward physically."
