This is where i disagree. I think Chris has concepts of these things but only understands them at a basic level. He clearly has no understanding of how a court works at age ~40, and thats something in itself. He has the mental maturity of a 6 year old.This is thankfully unlikely. Chris is not low functioning. He knows the concepts of money, responsibilities, and consequences. He is lucid and can communicate. He is an extremely low functioning human being when it comes to maturity and making wise decisions, but strictly speaking on autism, Chris is still high functioning.
As someone who grew up with 2 "high functioning" friends, Chris is not high functioning. Keep in mind his diagnosis came early in the studies of autism an is likely innaccurate.
The thing that will get chris set free from this will not be whatever charges they give him, it will be the argument that he literally can't understand why hes being punished, which from what we can tell seems to be the case.
