Okay, so the problem, Kevin, with lying to a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist is that it defeats the entire purpose. You aren't "lying to get what you want" you're "discounting the advice of people with superior knowledge to get what you think you want" which is not medical treatment just blind consumer shopping. You wouldn't do this with Transformers or stuffies, but when it comes to a greater expenditure of both capital and the permanent state of your life you advocate for it. This alone is proof you should not do it because it's clear evidence that you're being irrational and in the ideal form of your favored system the community would definitely prevent you from doing it unlike capitalism which looks at the capital expenditure and says "sure, why not?"
With that in mind, could it be calculated by a very autistic individual how much he has spent on transformers, other plastic toys, soft toys and sheer garbage and how much of his surgeries he could have just outright paid for with the same money?
My clumsy and unknowing estimate is roughly 30 usd a toy on average, some being a few cents, some being over 100 dollars.
As it looks like he has at least 1000 of these things, 30 grand would buy some breast implants and a vaginoplasty.
I am probably horribly wrong, but I do think he should have fronted some of the cost himself.
