I've been trying to figure out what disorder J.J. from skins is supposed to have.
In the third season of Skins. He takes so many pills, but it's never really explained why. :?:

Asperger syndrome. It's stated as much in his Season 3 episode, from the documentation his mother is wallowing in to calling himself an "autistic twat".

Side note: has anyone else stopped the JJ episodes in seasons 3 and 4 at random times because they saw a bit too much of themselves in him and have a hard time coping with seeing it on a TV screen? I feel like I'm doing that a lot.
