ptsd was to do with an incident when he was tackling someone with a knife.
the thing is, if that was real, then he's done amazing... BUT using to get the sympathy and upvotes and gifts and praise is a fucking disgrace.
reality - i have friend who has ptsd, been diagnosed for some time and been through counselling for as long... the last thing he wants is a fucking ptsd party with likeminded people. i'm not saying it's not a thing, I'm saying it would never once occur to him as being a good idea. so, the fact that del is 'taking on this massive project' is fucking alarm bells ... attention attention attention ... calling out the DAS ... attention attention attention ... no need for this horse shit. nothing about his campaign seems genuine (however real his history is).
I feel sorry for everyone he's taking the piss out of.
finally - he's getting all the nhs to this cinema showing too... so how's that work then? two parties or 1 mixed do? if this was authentic, if he was credible, this would never be happening. that's what i'm saying.
Ramping things up for attention is his specialty. I remember when Jen had a time they thought she had a fairly serious underlying medical issue, which is fair enough. This was broadcast anyway, and then it was found out she was fine, but after they continued to make it seem like she had cancer or something similar despite knowing the facts which was in my view disgustingly tasteless.
Don't forget going out their way to document giving coffee to the emergency services. Its all about public perception and wanting sympathy and at the same time doing something to make others praise him for being salt of earth doing nice deeds. The cinema thing is just a larger coffee giving idea.
Having autism would make sense for Del though, just at the lower end of the scale. It's clear he hasn't got the sensory type issues connected to autism so would be more connected to the social side of things, and wanting praise and constant re-assurance can form part of that which does make a lot of sense.
100% Del was the kid in school who would do a project/assignment which would be to a universally accepted good standard. But he would tell others how he felt it was terrible, just to have them praise it.
