Containment What If?

Mainstreaming did Chris no favors, if Borb put him proper SPED classes and dealt with his autism instead of blaming all his problems on it he could very well be a functioning member of society, not a doctor or an artist but he could hold a job like a normal almost 40 year old.

It's hard to know for certain. Honestly if they got him help early on rather than going out drinking, Chris would have probably been better adjusted, and mainstreaming him wouldn't be an issue.

- The taser thing is a cop out to end the dimension merge, and Chris claims the shock freed him from Nazis or something of that sort.

- The taser allows him to fake his death and it's all been planned for months.

It's not really a taser and it probably can't hurt anyone. The only person who is likely to get hurt if he tries it out on someone is him when they kick his ass.

My cousin has autism. In a lot of ways he's like Chris, he's obsessed with games and certain characters. Strange mannerisms, stilted speech, all that. He even used to draw comics and write stories of questionable originality. BUT, his family aren't dogshit doodoo shitheads, and they actually prepared him for living in the world by putting him in a good special ed program and coaching him about how to conduct himself. They helped him think realistically about the world and set realistic goals for himself. They never would have allowed their adult son to think that his Sonic recolor was groundbreaking work, and that he was a genius for coming up with it.
As a result, he is doing fantastic. He has a college degree, a driver's license, a retail job, even an autistic girlfriend.
Chris is not any more autistic than my cousin, but he was raised by people that thought if they ignored his deficiencies, they would go away. They also set a terrible example for him, they were narcissists who lived in filth. In better hands, Chris could be pretty normal, but with the parents he had, even without autism he would be fucked up.
EDIT: also want to add, special ed can cover things that are outside of the normal curriculum if a child needs the help. That could have been huge for Chris. In addition to getting a high school education, he could have gotten a bunch of free counseling for things like getting a job and managing his finances. I don't really know how this works, but if a disabled child hasn't yet met the goals set in their individual education plan, they can stay in school for free until they're 22. Maybe could have stayed in school for 4 more years learning life skills. He could have even gotten the Dating Ed shit he always ranted about.

What if Chris watched Lain?

Imagine the most literal, brain dead interpretation of that show and filter it through several layers of severe autism. Actually with the one interpretation of the show being that Lain is God, than he'd probably identify with her character and incorporate her into the Sonichu universe. I can't wait to see what he comes up with for Arichu.

At the time I was in high school (2011-15), a certain few people with disabilities stood there for free until age 21 by August 31. I have met all of the academic skills, but I didn't know how to socialize with people very well from what I have informationally gathered in the last last meeting before transitioning to college. I was stuck in weekly speech therapy appointments my whole IEP career and I knew for sure time flew by fast. Yet, I still didn't know how to communicate with people a bit further besides saying simple stuff. I used to ask them questions, but I was still wondering if I really fit in with a particular group of my own true interests. I mean I was used to film club (didn't get in), anime club (done it one year, but meh - I like Hetalia and who doesn't like Sanic X), and I could go on and on.

My parents prepped me up for having to live in the real world and they placed me on IEP 16 years until I graduated high school. Me being under their guardianship placed me down financially and that made me chronically unemployed due to coddle-right. My job opportunities were only limited to volunteering and I wasn't used to it. I am more of a Patreon gal, so I can make money fast every month to provide for a household peacefully. I was self-taught, and yes, I chose to go to a community college that had a special program for autists. I made a decision since age 16 and I looked forward to attending it until enrollment. Getting all the required paperwork is work in order to be completely qualified. Sadly, there is a 25% chance of being properly admitted because reasons why: circumstances vary (whatever it may be) regardless of any individual case. College got in the way of what I have had wanted until I got a college degree a year and a half ago, and that was done away with. For now, I have to sign up for the volunteer work of sorting donations before March. I can't drive. I used to take a public bus to school and back before the pandemic. I only work from home on a way more flexible 24/7 job and I only got paid by SSI each month. Do not judge me for how poor I am compared to Chris. He had $7.50 a day. I only had $2.50 off his daily allowance just because of gender difference and pay inequity. I am still seeking for a guyfriend and yes, I am not married and I am not pregnant. I am still single and physically celibate (not counting the blue speculum with lights on top and the phallus ultrasound camera).

Yup. It is coming up next school year in Washington due to f***ng CSE (comprehensive sex education) as I predict it would happen.

P.S. My dad said, "I want you to be independent!" And I thought to self, "I am working on it."

Did you draw that?
 
What if Chris was really fucking good at drawing, but even worse at writing?
