Prison Letters Chris writes me from Prison (dated September 19th, 2021)

[Gregory House M.D]

Actually, funny thing about Spergers/high functioning autism is that it's really only a social disorder, of which it's obviously farther than Chris.
High functioning autistic people also aren't faceblind like Chris, and they also tend to have at least an average IQ (though are more likely to have a higher than average IQ)
My guess for Chris would be Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD) or Kanners. Basically once kids hit around 3-10, they start to rapidly decline in their abilities like speech, learning, not shitting themselves, social skills, motor skills, etc. with CDD
Kanners is "classic" autism, described as people who have very good rote memory and visuospatial skills, but are shit at pretty much everything else.
Obviously I can't speak definitely and I can't diagnose the motherfucker but hey, might as well take a guess

Chris most likely is walking around with low-to-mid functioning autism. There's no way he's anywhere near high-functioning .A truly high-functioning autistic individual can make friends, have relationships, hold down jobs, and many are known for being extremely intelligent- every one of these things Chris has proven he is incapable of.

CDD may be a good diagnosis, but it doesn't fit 100%. He began speaking around the time CDD "kicks in" but it's a likely story. Perhaps CDD, with some Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Barb was going through a lot around 1980.

As one of the other posts said, I'm eager to see what the court psychologist says in their eval- I think Bob and Barb lied to Chris about just how slow he is. HF Autistic people don't fuck their moms spontaneously.

best outcome from this timeline would be him starting the Church of CWC during his stay

Perhaps CDD, with some Fetal Alcohol Syndrome?

Does Chris have signs of FAS? From what I know, FAS shows up in the face pretty prominently e.g. smooth philtrum, small head, &c. Maybe he has partial FAS or Fetal Alcohol Effects (i.e. deficits without physical abnormalities).

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

He's probably alone in a cell 23 out of 24, so he isn't parading anything, just staring at a wall or thumbing through a Bible going crazier and crazier.

Is there a provision for him under the law for anybooks other than The Bible? I only ask as I don't know much about the US prison system outside of what I've gleaned from TV over the years but in the UK we allow books and some limmited TV programs to people even in solitary (aside from them using them as a weapon or damaging them) I think it's considered illegal to deny them books etc under some international agreement unless it's administrative punishment.

Does Chris even think of himself as truly disabled? He always sounds proud to call himself a high functioning autistic. I think he focuses on the "high functioning" part rather than the "autistic" part. I don't think he realizes that this means he is high functioning only relative to low-functioning autistics, who can't talk or carry on basic tasks. I think Chris views himself as a savant genius who can't fit into normal society because people won't take the time to understand his brilliant mind or something.

He does and doesnt, Chris uses the Tisim card to get out of jail free but he's been told that High-Functioning means Normal, he's not. Back when CWC was diagnosed High Functioning meant that he would not be a mute, head ware, butt garment wearing screaching toddler his whole life, he would likely be able to learn to talk and care for himself to a extent and likely hold a menial job.

Chris is by modern standards low to mid functioning, with a bias towards the mid point of the spectrum but he also hasn't just got Autism he's likely got something else misdiagnosed as autism or hidden by it. What Chris has is up for debate but if he had the High - Functioning label today he'd be a lower level Asburgers case and he's not that. And interestingly recently there has been calls to divorce the two conditions again as it's causing problems for the treatment and assistance offered to both sides of the spectrum.

Chris can learn a skill and repeat what he's learned but he is really bad at it, but so can other Autistic people his level of functionality and I can tell you right now outside of America he would not have been given a drivers licence, he would have been given a bus pass and a subsidised taxi service (or Comfy Bus where it's like a taxi bus service that had a area it covers but will drop you at any destination in that area and collect you, and also has timed connections with other routes, and you call them to say pick up or drop off and it's free). I know America doesnt have much of a public transport system but honestly keeping people like CWC and Old people of the roads is a better safty measure than anything else.

I think "high functioning" just means "not a drooling nonverbal retard confined to a wheelchair" or at least "can speak in complete sentences".

 

[Hopkinsville Goblin]

Don't forget the obvious fact that Chris is a lazy coward. You gotta work up a lot of nerve to try and off yourself, let alone go through with it. He's also so averse to doing anything physically uncomfortable that it wouldn't be surprising if he was extremely averse to anything that may potentially be painful, even if it was just the prick from a flu shot.

Witnessing Chris nearing the end of his life will be... interesting, if it's even documented at all. I can't begin to fathom the kinds of things he'll ramble about as the reaper slowly takes him.

While Chris hates being outside of his comfort zone away from his toys, he may have a curious resistance to pain. Like he shoved his Sonichu medallion up his ass and there was the whole unclit fiasco. Chris and Barb are both fully vaccinated against COVID-19 but Chris laminated both their vaccine cards with shipping tape so I don't know what they'll end up doing if booster shots are eventually needed.

I know what you're talking about.
My driving test was literally okay just drive around the block one time and my maneuverability test was okay pull up to those cones then back up to these cones. Literally in and out took 10 minutes to get my license. I'm mostly scared of other drivers not because the test was easy but because I know tons of people that failed it. How do you fail just driving around the block?

My driving test was similar, I just drove around the part of the strip mall the DMV was in. However there was a written test as well and a lot of people fail that. All the rules in the book you study seem arbitrary when you haven't driven much yet and a lot of the people applying for a license are 16 years old and don't really want to study because they do a lot of that at school already.

I think "high functioning" just means "not a drooling nonverbal retard confined to a wheelchair" or at least "can speak in complete sentences".

That's what it used to mean but that was muddied and changed over the years, Asburges while similar to Autism isn't the same in end effect but it's diagnosis path is similar, that is why there are growing calls to separate the two again as they are different problems for the most part.

When Chris was first Diagnosed Low functioning meant - Non verbal apart from screeching, no or limited control over bodily functions or impulse control, and some level of physical deformity i.e. the worst example of what passes for a biologically viable human being.

Mid functioning where Chris is is characterised as emotionally repetitive (read as in mimicking others) low Intelligence, low social awareness, poor motor coordination, poor linguistic skills, etc but can be taught them and coping mechanisms, social scripts to exist along side others with help.

High Functioning means mostly normal but odd, i.e. was into things outside his age group and gender or a obsessive repetition of high value facts without understanding them but a abillity to join the dots (i.e. rainman level brain), I've read a intresting paper about how this might have been the driving force towards hygiene in some early cultures i.e. clean your hands before skinning the goat, clean your hands before touching food etc.... They where considerd at the basic level low intellect jobs you'd give to the nice but stupid guy i.e. basic processing and when they talked to each other they glommed onto washing hands as a way to avoid painful knicks and infections.

if I read the words "insanity plea" one more time I'm gonna slap somebody.

Insanity plea.

 

[Aeon Path]

As a certified armchair psychologist, I agree with the idea that his "high-functioning" diagnosis probably comes from an outdated idea of what autism was, an optimist/polite doctor or even Barb/Bob meddling.

I still think he is very much in the spectrum and always was, his autism was probably just hiding some, darker, comorbid disorder. That, plus shitty upbringing, cosmic coincidences, a need for ever-growing coping mechanisms and a personality that's basically the closest materialistic equivalent of being born without a soul, gives us modern Chris. At this point, the only thread holding his 'sanity' together and keeping him from snapping or just being unable to function is a mental version of pic related:

 

[Gregory House M.D]

Does Chris have signs of FAS? From what I know, FAS shows up in the face pretty prominently e.g. smooth philtrum, small head, &c. Maybe he has partial FAS or Fetal Alcohol Effects (i.e. deficits without physical abnormalities).

Definitely doesn't meet all the criteria for full-on FAS but FAE mixed with mid-functioning Autism, perhaps.Another likely explanation is mid-functioning Autism mixed with Klinefelter's. Explains everything- low muscle mass, reduced amount of body hair, a bent duck, and miniature genitals. Chris' social ineptitude can also be explained by Klinefelter's. There's a whole laundry list of symptoms- difficulty in school with reading, spelling, writing, tendencies to be reclusive and oversensitive, difficulty with social expression, poor physical features, it's all classic Chris. My guess is that Chris got a Klinefelter's diagnosis and Bob and Barb claimed it was autism.

Prisons typically have a library that prisoners can borrow books from. I'm not certain but I'm pretty sure jails would have something similar. Maybe the selection isn't great, and maybe the books are beat up from being passed from inmate to inmate for Lord knows how many years, but I imagine when you're locked inside a concrete box for nine tenths of the day, any book is readable.

Of course, being a goddess, Chris would gravitate towards religious texts. I wonder if he's reading the Koran and the Book of Mormon too.

I think he'd gravitate more toward Little Golden Books and Clifford.

Ah, yes. Clifford, the big red dong.

 

[Pappy Striderite]

he casually throws the whole LGTB+ movement under the bus, using a slippery slope argument that'd make Alex Jones blush.... as a defense argument for porking Barb, no less.

lol
yeah, "i'm a god so i made things like rapingmommy [cough] or being gay okay. i did that for you, queers. you're welcome !!! "

diaper / no diaper.
or maybe they draw the line with helmet / no helmet.

even the most cursory glance at Chris' artwork proves his extremely poor visuospatial skills

All the rules in the book you study seem arbitrary when you haven't driven much yet and a lot of the people applying for a license are 16 years old and don't really want to study because they do a lot of that at school already.

When I got my license my high school actually offered a full driver's education course that included coursework, driving simulator, driving range on school grounds with actual cars including one specially modified to replicate going into a spin on ice or other slippery surface, and driving practice on public roads and highways. When I went through my final driving test I had to demonstrate my knowledge of the vehicles various functions and features, demonstrate my ability to safely navigate traffic on surface streets and the freeway while also obeying all trafic rules/laws, abiding posted speed limits and other instructions from road signs, my ability to safely signal and merge/change lanes, demonstrate that I regularly check my mirrors, all while the instructor in the car quizzed me on traffic laws and rules, provide answers to various scenarios, and would question me about my surroundings to make sure I was paying proper attention to where I was and what I was doing. But I'm an old fucker and this was back in the mid-90s, so things might have gotten a lot more lax since I went through driver's ed.

I think he'd gravitate more toward Little Golden Books and Clifford.

It would be a real kicker if Chris got into reading the Comminist Manifesto and Mao's Little Red Cookbook, became a hardcore Pinko Commie, and became the badass Communist Revolutionary that Phil/ADF always dreamed of becoming (and did his best to fool people into believing he was). Phil has always hated Chris and was envious of Chris getting more TardBux and being more popular and liked, so seeing Chris surpass Phil as a Pinko Commie and being more successful at getting respect and validation from people as a Revolutionary would be amazing to see. I don't know exactly how Phil would handle it or what he might do in response when he found out, all I know is it would be really ugly, likely really smelly, and definitely something that shouldn't be missed. Chris is already a more legit hardcore criminal than Phil will ever be.

yeah, if Chris had CDD he would've never made it through community college. Obviously we don't know the extent of the amount of hand holding chris got at PVCC, but people forget there was a window from 2007 - 2012 where Chris could've still had a normal life if he'd just stayed away from his computer and thrown Sonichu in the trash

I think "high functioning" just means "not a drooling nonverbal retard confined to a wheelchair" or at least "can speak in complete sentences".

Chris' definition maybe, but you may actually know people who are high functioning autistic, but they've been able to adapt and overcome it so well they never figured it out. Tim Burton wasn't suspected off having autism/aspergers until much later in his life when people gave him a description that matched his childhood behavior.

 

[AnOminous]

I don't know about the jail he's in. In a long-term prison, there's usually some kind of library, although not necessarily particularly well stocked and generally heavily censored.

 

[Jack Awful]

Some community colleges just pass retards through so they can collect tuition and help the parents not feel like their kids are useless.

I honestly think that he's got Klinefelter's. The symptoms line up too well.
