This just further makes a good case that he could just milk these retards for their money selling shitty sticks... If only he could see that - but ah, Asperger's.
I do wonder if Autism/Asperger's have a high rate of alcoholism or drug abuse in their adult years (genuine statistics). The lack of inhibition and such would easily make them indulge in such a thing I'd imagine.
Well, people with brain injuries definitely have a higher rate of substance abuse if untreated, and there is a bit of overlap between autism and brain damage. (Not understanding social cues, poor impulse control/emotional control, having a slightly obsessive personality in hobbies or interests, as well as struggling to keep healthy relationships)
PL: source, have brain damage and grew up learning all about brain injuries, symptoms and common therapies needed, as well as interacting with other kids and adults with it, and asking different neuro docs about common symptoms. PL:
I've been sort of watching Jord Sandeux for over six years at this point, and while I do take breaks because of how repulsive and depressing he is, he always seems to outdo himself eventually and I'm back watching his livestreams.
I gotta say though he's been going down hill way faster in the last couple years. Ive never witnessed someone become an alcoholic before, can anyone confirm that this is what it's like?
Yup, though he isn't a functioning alcoholic at all. A functional alcoholic, you can rarely tell is drunk as an outsider aside from minor tells you know to look out for and the smell. Immediate family can tell because your personality changes a bit, you're noticeably a bit more emotional than you usually are, maybe even clumsier. They basically need alcohol to function and are only normal when they are drunk.
He's considered a non functioning drunk. He would never be able to hold down a job long like this, keep relationships, or do daily chores like a functioning alcoholic can. At the rate he seems to be drinking, stopping isn't an option anymore. He would end up in whats called being "dry drunk". That's basically where your brain is so damaged, that you still act and experience the world like you're hammered. It takes therapy and medication to pull you out of this state, otherwise you can stay dry drunk even years later.
