Also, he probably has no concept of proper consent or anything like that.
What do you guys think? He obviously knew incest was wrong, but did he know it was rape?
I remember Bob saying in a conversation with either Kacey or Julie that Chris had trouble comprehending the concept of Europe.
Chris also did not comprehend that the millions of moves he made on Megan didn't work because she wasn't interested in a romantic relationship and kept trying even after she told him in no uncertain terms to fuck off. Like if he just kept trying she'd eventually give in. And I don't mean that in the sense of "Oh he was manipulative and calculating and purposefully gross", he just honest to god didn't know any better. Nobody explained relationships to him in a way he truly understood; they just smiled and nodded and placated him.
His view of relationships in general seems very formulaic, in a way. Like any interaction with a girl means that they're into him, and if they leave little crumbs of positive interactions that they're sweethearts, and god forbid if they ever made it to the third date he might get laid.
I genuinely don't think he knew. I think he misinterpreted things in their interactions, and in a typical Chris-chan fashion things ended up absolutely catastrophic. Because all his life he was told "Oh, you're not like other autistic kids, you're better than them!" and denied the few resources/programs available to help him cope by Bob and Barb.
Not entirely out of malice, but ignorance and denial.
It's just a tragedy no matter how you look at it.
It's a horrible car crash none of us can look away from.
