This is actually one of those things that are a legit case for people with autism/Asperger's. People with Asperger's can be creative and have creative solutions, but the way they learn is often a little different. I have Asperger's, and the way how I learn things is by doing them. I cannot simply watch a video or read about it and then do it later. I have to be doing it at the exact moment or within moments of being told how to do in order make the best of it.
Once the basics have been taught, they can start to experiment a little. You give them predictable scenario after predictable scenario, and then bit by bit, you add something that wasn't expected, very minor at first, but you can gradually increase it. This is how I learn and from what I read, a lot of autistic people have been taught this way successfully.
It's quite possible that Chris was never taught this way, or his own lack of knowledge about his autism (I really don't think he fully understands his own condition) means he'll never really understand it. It still is something that's far more to laziness than anything. I know a lot of other people on the autism spectrum and none of them are averse to learning or effort. They all have their little quirks and ways of doing things, as I do, but Chris is really a class his own in autism and this is why many people on the spectrum want to disassociate themselves from him as much as possible.
EDIT: For Chris and video making, there's no shortage of videos and guides on making a good video. I mean a quick search on google or youtube will reveal a ton of information you can use. I wanted to learn how to bake bread and decorate cakes, I did it all by learning stuff online, and I did get creative by experimenting a little with ingredients and finding what they did. I also had to learn how to sew stuff on when I was making a costume. I had a hard time because I didn't know how to thread a needle correctly. How did I solve it? I saw a video on doing it, plus I also saw a guy in military uniform passing by and I noticed how the stitches on his patches were done. I copied them and I haven't had a problem since. Chris won't learn because he doesn't want to.
