Vinny Is Autistic!
The soap followers know that a few days ago, Kammy Hadiq organised a housewarming party at the Dales. At Dale View, Vinny Dingle lives with Lewis and Ross Barton. Many villagers, including Vinny, were happy.
But when Lewis Barton found out what was going on, he soon became nervous. Lewis has autism, and loud noises trigger him. This is the reason he puts headphones on when he gets overwhelmed in the cafe. Thus, listening to music distracts him and makes him calm.

At the party, he interacted with many of his friends and other villagers. However, after the event, the soap fans realised that he was facing a tough time. Meanwhile, when Vinny dealt with a hangover, Lewis’s personality started to change. In the latest episode, Lewis was overwhelmed by the noise in the cafe.
A Love Story Awaits Amid Lewis’s Panic Attack!
He got a panic attack and went home. Nicola was concerned, so she followed him. Then she gave him space to deal with the things. Later, she found out that Kev is Lewis’s biological father. She thought that this could make Lewis spiral. So, she decided to hide the truth. When Vinny came back home, it didn’t take him long to find out that something was wrong with Lewis.

Then Ross’s half-brother told him that the things were too much for him. He felt drained. Lewis said that things were bad. He felt that the noises were louder than usual, colours were too bright, and his heartbeat was fast.
Vinny listened to him, and it also felt like he was considering whether he liked Lewis more than a friend. He realised what he was doing and moved out of it quite quickly. Thus, Vinny has a strong connection with Lewis. The soap watchers wonder – Will the love story go ahead? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale updates!
