Lesley Bee Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I like Brendan, its good to see H&A introducing a character with a disability and Kain is doing a great job, very well portrayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I think its great that HAA have brought in a disabled character, and this young actor is amazing. He was in Out of the Blue playing a teenage tearaway, completely different. Very talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiyaBlake Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I think its great that they have introduced a disabled character. Brendan did annoy me a bit and I reckon he will annoy me more as I see more of him. He's a bit in your face and I know that is because of his disability but thats just how I feel. But Kain O'Keefe did an amazing job. I think they've portrayed him as having stereotypical autism and it's a bit over done. Just my opinion though? But I think Kain's a good actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetown Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I have never seen autism so I don't know whether the portrayal is accurate, but certainly a great actor. I still think Brendan has the look of a H&A character. He is still a beautiful, toned, fit lad - and the first young lad to bare his bum on screen! I'm not saying that if you're autistic you can't be gorge but it seems that you have to be beautiful just to live in Summer Bay unless ur a stereotypical nerd, biddy or wierdo!

grumble bum Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I loved Brendan tonight when he kept saying "Hugo loves Martha". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azkadellia Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I am so happy to see an autistic character weaved into the show - I am loving H&A's strong attempts to step up and include rarely seen, but real issues and characters into the show! Brendan is such a great guy - he brightens the mood up in many scenes (and Kain is brilliant at portraying such a difficult character)!

Miranda Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I think they've portrayed him as having stereotypical autism and it's a bit over done. Just my opinion though? But I think Kain's a good actor But isn't autism autism though? People have certain features and characteristics which mean they have autism, otherwise they wouldn't be diagnosed with autism. Hope that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiyaBlake Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) ^^ No I understand My Brother has autism and is 14 now. I just meant that there are so many different types of characteristics people with autism have and they have chosen the more obvious one. I guess it's just because my brother is so different. He know's every swear word imaginable but is very irrational! Hope I didn't offend anyone saying that though!
