Craig Nicholls: Asperger's Syndrome
His often bizarre, erratic and volatile behaviour had concerned the band and their management for some time, and no-one could put their finger on why. The band had to stop touring to get to the bottom of the problem after he got abusive and violent during a radio gig, and ended up facing assault charges. The band's roadie observed that his avoidance of eye contact, dislike of being touched and his unusual speaking voice were consistent with Asperger's Syndrome - a high functioning autism spectrum disorder - and he was officially diagnosed in late 2004. He has subsequently given up smoking marijuana and the band no longer do large scale tours, two factors that are believed to have aggravated his condition.
