You know... it may have something to do with his outrageous drug
intake. The guy looks utterly wasted every time i see him.

Bullshit. The condition was brought on by drug abuse.

Vines' frontman has brain disorder
By Vanda Carson and Clara Pirani
November 20, 2004

THE lead singer of Australian rock band The Vines yesterday escaped an
assault charge after admitting he was mildly autistic.

Craig Nicholls appeared in Balmain Local Court in Sydney where magistrate
Susan Seagrave dropped charges that he kicked a female photographer and
caused damage to her camera during a gig at a Sydney hotel six months ago.

Ms Seagrave dismissed the charges provided he continue medical treatment for
Asperger's syndrome.

Nicholls was diagnosed with the condition - described as a mild form of
autism - after the alleged incident in May at a performance at the Annandale
Hotel in Sydney's inner-west, where the band played for about 450 fans.

He had always been a temperamental performer, but until yesterday his mood
swings were attributed to burnout.

People with Asperger's usually appear aloof, show a lack of interest in
other people and have a stilted, sometimes pedantic style of speech with a
tendency to speak "at" people.

The outburst in May followed his reported banning from US chat show The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno after allegedly causing damage to equipment
during a rehearsal for the show.

Several concerts in Australia, Britain and the US were cancelled following
Nicholls's altercation with Sun-Herald photographer Janie Barrett.

It caused a national radio network to ban The Vines' music from its
playlist.

Nicholls apologised to Barrett in a handwritten note shortly after the
alleged scuffle. Barrett told The Australian yesterday she was unaware that
the charges had been dismissed, but declined to comment further.

Lawyers for the 26-year-old singer told the court of the medical diagnosis
two weeks ago, according to police prosecutor Sergeant Matthew Baker.

Asperger's sufferers have difficulty initiating and maintaining two-way
conversations and tend to engage in lengthy monologues about their
interests.

They are often considered exceptionally intelligent, but have difficulty
reading social situations and therefore are often accused of being
deliberately rude or difficult.

There is no known specific cause, although there is a tendency for the
condition to run in families, suggesting a genetic link.

Stressful situations, especially large social gatherings, exacerbate the
symptoms, according to medical reports tendered to the court.

Nicholls's treatment would be scheduled around his touring commitments, the
court was told.

The band's recording label EMI yesterday said in a statement that Nicholls
was looking forward to getting back to making music. He has already begun
writing songs for the next album.

The Vines shot to stardom with their first album, Highly Evolved, which sold
more than 1.5 million albums, and soon after appeared on the cover of rock
music bible Rolling Stone magazine.

Their second album, Winning Days, failed to maintain the band's momentum.

umm it isn't that well known. i wasn't diagnosed with it till i was 22 - and
only than because i was dating a girl with it and i saw alot of her symptoms
in me

After having taught several students with this condition and having done
some reading on it, its clear that a
person suffering from this condition is usually the one being bullied, not
the one bullying others. They usually get
distressed and shy away from violent situations.

Its a wonder that he didn't try to get some whacko doctor to claim that he
had Oppositional Defiance Disorder (ODD), another
"load of shit" syndrome that they are going to be using in the future to get
morons out of criminal charges. (remember
'roid rage, anyone.)

You know its the truth.

This is true... but in this case, I think it's more of a scapegoat than
a diagnosis. I mean, has anyone ever seen him (CN) NOT completely
wasted?

no surprises there LOL
