"good at getting around others and making them do what he wants ? " Is he ? The vast majority of people chris has ever come in contact with dislike and avoid him. It just happens that he is a lolcow and internet famous. Meaning a handful of sad sacks out of hundreds of thousands of autists find him interesting enough to simp for.
Regardless I still would think chris being a spoiled autist accounts for enough. People in general need reality checks, and those reality checks can take very different forms based on the persons personality. For healthy individuals finishing highschool, paying bills, moving out and struggling through workforce is the reality check that turns them into functioning adults. Chris alternatively is severely autistic, and has been entirely allowed to live an infantilised life with zero repercussions or expectations all the way to age 40.
Id say this ties into what was mentioned earlier in regards to sensitivity to criticism. Chris is lazy and disinterested in doing things outside of his specific interests. He has zero work ethic and therefore expecting him to do anything is lining up future criticism for when he doesnt do it. Therefore he avoids any work whatsoever since he views it as a negative itself.
He tries to make that happen, is the point (that particular assessment is phrased as a self-assessment, but I included it/the questions as illustrative, not conclusive proof).
He absolutely makes efforts to get around people he perceives as between him and what he wants, has fibbed and lied and tried to troll in attempts to get others to do what he wants; he manipulates, which is what that question was about.
In any case, he's diagnosed autistic and developmentally compromised. Being work- or obligation-avoidant is a hallmark of at least one profile within autism, and that plus his hitting 90% of the other indicators for that particular slice of the spectrum makes a lot more sense than merely being spoiled and un-disorder-related lazy.
Diagnoses (real or hypothetical) aren't excuses; they're potential explanations. A person can also be irritating regardless of the "reason" for it. If you're saying, nope, he's just a regular guy choosing to be weird, I can't agree, but I'm not trying to convince you.
(I do agree that for many people (typical or atypical neurologically), and maybe including Chris at this point, constant/a lifetime of failure tends to lead to avoidance of things that have historically failed.)
