Agreed, I wish people would talk about it to him but he probably wouldn't listen. With autism you see things very clearly in your head so it's hard to be told that someone, or a number of people see it differently and think you're wrong, because it's so simple to you. Unfortunately having stubborn principles doesn't guarantee that those beliefs (or your approach to them) will be good, which you can see with Goyle doubling down on things the rest of us can see clearly as inappropriate, even me at this point. With autism there's a big element of 'well why shouldn't I, just because it makes other people uncomfortable? Surely that's their problem not mine' so even if people do try to school him there's a high chance he wouldn't pay any heed.

I was very anxious about discussing this and am grateful that talking on here for the first time has been received okay :) I don't want to diagnose, was just interested in what others here thought

As someone with both Autism and a MSW (omg hi Autistic friend!) I don't think this is autism. Autism is largely diagnosed with social interactions and he doesn't have any traits that would lead me to want to screen for it.
It is more likely that he is dealing with unprocessed trauma, a disorganized attachment style, and possibly GAD.

That being said, we probably shouldn't try to diagnose outside of a clinical setting! I just genuinely don't think that's it.

It’s official! I’ve been blocked on every single one of my accounts!
How bloody ridiculous, I never even commented! I think I must have like a comment about Joel I want to say, two or three weeks ago? I’ve followed Carrie since before 2012, I’ve written her letters(I was like 15, dont judge!) and never gotten a response, I’ve bought her terrible books, I’ve seen her several times. Even the other day I found a Snapchat story from years ago calling her my idol, not once has she ever paid any attention to my existence but I like one comment about her Shrek fiancé and I’m blocked?
Good luck Carrie, you’re going to have no genuine followers left by the end of this train wreck.

Time and time again she proves to me she doesn’t give a shit about her fans, just what she can get from them. So sad.

Interestingly, that's how she treats everything in life. Mr Fiance is just a means to get over Oliver and to have that ring on her finger (I genuinely think she doesnt care about him at all, at least not in a Love of my life kind of way). Musical theatre mostly serves the purpose of her hearing applause. She became a writer so she can say she is a writer, not because she loves writing. What an exhausting - and annoying- way to live.
 
I'm sure there's lots of good hearted young actors she could have dated after Oliver but perhaps they had seen / heard about her and decided "nah". I think Joel got very lucky and he is running with the opportunity at full steam. He won't let go without a fight. Hopefully Carrie will reflect when she is away for panto that his behaviour is suffocating. She wanted someone to fawn over her but did she really want someone to take over everything? Nah. I think time will tell her. Hopefully they don't set a date too soon. There's still time for her.

I mean considering she fits her writing around all of her other projects i’m not surprised she doesn’t answer. i remember several vlogs for totally separate books where she admits she’s behind on her deadline. and since she’s one of those ~always has to be busy~ people and schedules herself for far too many things + her terrible writing as it is it’s clear she doesn’t actually dedicate any proper time to writing

Other projects = spending hours every single day of her life scouring tattle and blocking people on social media.

I've already completed NanoWrimo (November writing challenge) word count on tattle this month and it's only the 12th 🤣

Yup, at the start of their relationship this was one of the big ticks in his favour for me. He has a west end CV that imo outstrips Carrie’s. So I (wrongly) assumed that meant he had less incentive to use her. A sweet summer child I was!

Don't blame yourself... We were all so young and naive back when they started dating. Admittedly, some of us haven't heard a birthday since but the point still stands!!

yeah i am autistic too and have said on here before i don't see any traits of autism in him like obviously it is different in everyone but i don't see anything that points to him being autistic

Could someone give me the cliffnotes about that god awful tattoo? Is it really dedicated to Carrie? Whats the quote from? Big EW to get a tattoo like that after 7 MONTHS of dating.

The quote is from Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the movie Carrie and Joel saw on their first date. They clearly consider it ‘their quote’ as less than a week later Carrie posted an Instagram caption referencing it (and also implying that they’d already said I love you - she wrote “all the universes” and the quote is “I love you in every universe”). Definitely a ridiculous move for Joel to get it tattooed 🤢

No engagement ring...? But there does seem to be a thin gold ring when you zoom in 😶

I really feel like she needed to shag someone who wasn't famous and had never heard of her before during her "single girl revenge era" that lasted all of 5 seconds. Could have given her some new perspective

She might not want to bash it doing choreography as emeralds are quite fragile
