Anyone else think Bob might have had a bit of the tism himself? Guy collected stamps and had an encyclopedic knowledge of blues musicians.
Everyone who has interests and is knowledgeable about them is an autist?
Bob was clearly an intelligent man with some specific hobbies and a good career. He was also a veteran I think.
Chris isn't autistic because he inherited it from Bob, he is autistic because Barb was so old when he was conceived, and Bob being even older didn't help.

If Bob was autistic, every engineer or academic is too, and the word becomes completely meaningless.
 
Holy Grail and Life of Brian were funny as shit, otherwise I've seen little of them
There’s some pretty good stuff on YouTube. They’re also the reason Spam mail is called Spam mail. That being said, Chris also watches I Love Lucy and I have cousins that have never heard of it.

In olden days chris would've at best been quietly locked away in aslyum, at worst hung drawn and quatered for pissing off the local lord with his autistic antics, if he mentioned his cpu goddess he'd be probably tried as a witch.
Completely depends on the geographic area he was in and exactly what you mean by Olsen days. People who made claims like Chris does were sometimes venerated in India for example and in most of Italy he’d have been forced into a monastery prior to the Napoleonic Wars. But yeah among much of Western Europe he’d be killed off even before he could troon out. Probably from starvation.

Having looked into American witchcraft trials and traditions, Chris would likely be one of the accusers of his neighbors for witchcraft on incredibly shakey grounds. There’s some really fun charges that witches fell victim to, from bewitching pigs to break down a fence, murder, suckling demons in the middle of a sermon in church, causing storms, causing illnesses, and my personal favorite, levitating people. Some of these witchcraft trials could get really interesting where everyone just gangs up on their poor, foul mouthed neighbor and tries to convince the authorities they’re a witch. It didn’t always go somewhere but there’s some really funny incidents regarding a woman who was tried for witchcraft 17 or so times and was never convicted. The townsfolk then tried to lynch the woman, and failed. Why? They only hung her until she passed out, and the cold weather made them think she was dead because she didn’t feel warm to the touch. She went on to live for another 15+ years after this narrow escape.

The witchcraft hysteria didn’t really pick up until after the Puritans got into power following the Parlimentarian victory in the Civil War. James I of England and VI of Scotland though was a big believer in witchcraft and was the one who really pushed the death penalty as the punishment for witchcraft because he, I shit you not, blamed witches for the bad weather on his journey to Denmark to pick up his wife to be, and for the bad weather that delayed his journey back. James was a bit of a strange dude.

EDIT: The pilgrims in American history have been white washed to hell and back. The Puritan movement in England was one of the most radical of the entire Reformation, essentially attempting to strip the entire faith of anything possibly linked to Catholicism. And killing anyone who wasn’t as fanatical about this as they were. Witchcraft paranoia skyrocketed among them as they saw enemies everywhere and obviously being good pious folk the only people that could EVER be against them and their beliefs were witches in service to the devil himself. The witchcraft hysteria spread around Europe too, but really the Puritans were some of the most intense about it, and among the quickest to use it against political enemies, like more moderate Anglican’s, Catholics, and anyone who didn’t speak English perfectly. It’s a bit nuts.
