People irritate Martin who prefers his own company.

 



Are you quite happy to sort of hang out on your own?
 
Yes, I’ve always preferred me own company. People irritate me.
 
In what ways do they irritate you?
 
Just everything they do; breathe, talk, get in your way in the middle of bloody ASDA, look at yer.
 
So how would you describe having Asperger's Syndrome to somebody who didn’t know what it was?
 
It’s like being a normal person really; it’s just that you’re more interesting. You don’t get on as well with people. That’s basically how I’d describe it.
