If he's like you say he is, and you aren't exaggerating it somewhat in your perception because it bothers you so much, then I bet you anything that people tell him not to do things a lot. He just ignores them and does what he wants. Sometimes loud overbearing people are that way.
Well that is what other people say, that because of my spectrum condition I have trouble tolerating someone like Barry. That is, I do believe NT people find him loud but not painful and because he talks about sports and small talk they still talk to him. About the odors, well maybe I am a bit sensitive about that. It seems to be, as my sister says, he has "the glow" because he is a doctor. I never heard that one before.
Come to think of it, she is a dentist, supposed to be an "intelligent girl" and has just about given all of her life to Barry. I think had they not met, she would have had her dream dental office by now and very successful.
