I'm not a psychologist or anything but probably the worst thing you can do for an autistic is shelter them. That's why Chris has such bizarre way of talking and acting. Autists don't know how to act socially and Chris didn't have any friends or peers. So instead of trying to conform to the norms of a friend group, he imitated the mannerisms of his elderly parents and what he saw on TV. That's why I think he flails around like a cartoon character in his videos. We all know the reason Chris "transitioned" was because in his fucked up brain he thought it would get him pussy. I think another component is the only IRL friends Chris had were women. Chris's brain interpreted the way the women around him acted as the way he should act. That's probably why he acted like such a fruit even before the tomgirl saga.
i think Chris has a sort of "main character syndrome", wherein he doesnt understand himself or the way his mind works, so he attempts to define himself with a list of likes and dislikes, quirks and behaviors, like a character sheet for a cartoon character, concrete and eternal unless he decides to "rewrite" himself, not organically mallable the way a person outght to be
he holds to opinions and tastes strongly because he decided to
like his whole "playstation good xbox bad" thing, any normal person would just say "yeah im not fond of xbox because X and Y, i prefer playstation" and be able to comprehend their emotions, but Chris simply decided that he hates the hexbox, so now he hates it, and when tasked to explain why, he might be able to come up with a reasoning, but im sure in his mind the first result that comes up is the memory of the day he decided to hate it
likewise Chris doesnt identify as a woman because he looked inside of himself and felt that he does, he identifies as a woman because he decided that he does, and now that trait is a part of him, no more or less real than any other construct in his head
i also think normative women have a habit of "adopting" challenged people, its not uncommon for autistic guys to feel like they "get along better with women"
not to :powerlevel: but being an aut' myself, i found the same feeling when i was younger and assumed that was the case, despite relating more to other boys, i had an easier time communicating with girls, which can make a person feel pretty confused and lonely
it wasn't until i was older and noticed the same behavior from adult women and how they tend to coddle all other autistic and disabeld people i know that i realized it's just some kinda nurturing instinct and not genuine friendship
"That jerkhore was playing America's favorite game of kick the autistic."
