this is a large part of what fed into his delusions and fantasies, bob and barb literally built him a world of make-believe from day one. paying and bribing people to befriend Chris, include him, reward him / give him credit where it wasn't due, fed him the false impressions that he was talented, good at school academics, was popular, smart, well liked, etc. when he was none of the above LOL. this with his majority of his stimulation, and daily life revolved almost completely around games, tv, cartoons, toys. everything fantasy. very litter outside real world exposures or experiences.
