Prison Letters Chris writes me from Prison (dated September 19th, 2021)

[Phalanges Mycologist]

Chris is between low and high functioning.

He can talk, drive, operate machinery, buy groceries.

As I said he's mid functioning, he can do all those things as you said but you need to qualify it with Poorly.

On a scale of 1 to 100 where one is totally non functional and 100 is a high achieving person with autism and 50 is a socially functional individual Chris is about 40 to 45. In most developed parts of the world Chris wouldn't even be considered for a driving licence and purely from the outside looking in it's really weird but I can understand why he's got one (i.e. location and distance he needs to travel for basic necessities etc) and I'd like to know how he qualified for a licence in the first place and was there any special considerations given to him getting one as from what I've been told he drives like a old woman i.e. slow and steady but often misjudges distances etc leading to a lot of minor bumps etc.

He can talk but his speech patterns are erratic and his vocal control is lacking, if he has to talk past some learned points he has to pause and think about what he's going to say often for non complex subjects and often loses his train of thought. He often has to rehearse what he says and uses padding words or sounds to buy him time ( this used to be a common speech therapy technique I think) He also uses phrases out of context as he believes it means something else and will automatically be understood by others the way he does and when they don't he get's smug and feels superior.

The Groceries thing is hard to quantify, Chris will spend money on toys and other non essentials before he thinks about food Chris isn't incapable of buying food but he chooses to subsist off fast food and tinned / microwave meals (a lot of people do this so no real shade can be cast on chris for that) but I'd say if the instructions are more complex than open tin and put in pan he's incapable of basic meal preparation let alone anything healthy or balanced and I think that's why he relys on fast food and the whole Barb refused to cook thing was just a convenient excuse for him (and for barb as well to do less) to not learn to a new skill.

Chris is a weird scatter shot of abilities and level of functioning, he can do X so people assume he can do Y but he can't and can barely do X with any level of competency.

Klinefelter's have an extra chromasome XXY...

You're telling me if someone tested Chris's dna he'd be actually intersex? That's amazing.

It's possible. Ad someone said earlier, there are many signs and symptoms that match up. I doubt Chris' DNA is going to be treated anytime soon though, so we may never know.

I will have to disagree.
Mid-functioning and low functioning autists are easily recognizable, while CWC sharts his pants and cries multiple times, he has enough awareness and malice to know he did something wrong and tries to hide it for his egotistical purposes.
CWC is high-functioning, just raised terribly, and a major part of the stupid and evil things he did can be atributted to himself, not his mental illnesses.

 

[human trash]

high-functioning autism isn't an actual medical diagnosis it's just something that chris and other autists use to make themselves feel better. google it if you want

plain and simple chris is autistic. he's also a degenerate. these things aren't mutually exclusive and being one doesn't also mean that you're the other

 

[Aegeus]

and when they don't he get's smug and feels superior

That is one of the most irritating things about Chris.

He is so extraordinarily dumb and is 99.99999% of the time wrong about everything, but he constantly says shit like "At least I'm trying" and then expects for the other person to kiss his ass just because he "tried."

Then, whenever he has some obscure phrase that he uses wrong and others don't understand, he acts like he is Shakespeare and the most intelligent person in the world.

He really is such an annoying asshole.

Yea that always gets me as well, it's one thing to be wrong about something get new information and adjust accordingly but he doesn't do that he doubles down on the error compounding it.

I think he likes to revel in his ignorance at times, it's a nice pink fuzzy bubble of his own homespun reality and if he says it's right it's right doesn't matter what other people say. I could only imagine how frustrating it must have been for people who had to teach him anything especially when he had already formed an opinion on the subject.

 

[Yankot]

Imagine being an obsessed simp for chris, preventing his suicide (the whole goal of this site is to make lolcows suicide btw) just for him to call you out as the autistic retard you are. No other "lolcow" here has gotten as much leniency as chris or been insulted as little, other lolcows are spammed, harassed etc. yet chris gets to be the golden child of lolcows because he's an assburger which many morons here can relate to.

 

[King Kiwi]

Some community colleges just pass retards through so they can collect tuition and help the parents not feel like their kids are useless.

...

I always assumed as much.

 

[Ser Ciappelletto]

Actually, funny thing about Spergers/high functioning autism is that it's really only a social disorder, of which it's obviously farther than Chris.
High functioning autistic people also aren't faceblind like Chris, and they also tend to have at least an average IQ (though are more likely to have a higher than average IQ)
My guess for Chris would be Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD) or Kanners. Basically once kids hit around 3-10, they start to rapidly decline in their abilities like speech, learning, not shitting themselves, social skills, motor skills, etc. with CDD
Kanners is "classic" autism, described as people who have very good rote memory and visuospatial skills, but are shit at pretty much everything else.
Obviously I can't speak definitely and I can't diagnose the motherfucker but hey, might as well take a guess

Isn't High Functioning just a form of Kanners? Kanner was the man who is credited with discovering Autism.

Casual observation and question.

Do you think Chris's recent inspiration to equate himself with Jesus, is just his actual delusions, or because the only book he probably has to read in the pen is the bible?

 

[Hogar Grupal]

plain and simple chris is autistic. he's also a degenerate. these things aren't mutually exclusive and being one doesn't also mean that you're the other

That's one of the things that got my attention when I first learned of Chris. One doesn't see that many autistic people get into trouble with the law (in Chris' case, multiple times), and I've always been under the impression that generally autistic people live in their own bubble - they're basically 'harmless', lest they get triggered easily. But with Chris, his degeneracy comes from bad parenting and an incubation of ego that set him on the path that he's in now. I think if his parents, Bob specifically, did anything during the Love Quest in PVCC, Chris wouldn't be in jail now.

It's definitely his delusions. Normal people read to understand a book's content, context and subtext. Chris 'reads' just to see if he can see himself in the content.

I always figured that the same is true for older people and single mothers in traditional universities.

I feel like they just get an A for showing up straight up.

Back to reddit, retard.

 

[RodgerDodger]

I'm not sure who. Malachi 3:6-15 is a pretty random choice. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was flipping randomly through a Bible. Maybe they don't even let him take it back to the room.

It's probably a page with pictures

Dead lolcows don’t produce any content though so it’s not a very good goal.

Only two real options here
1 : you are a troll that is trying a bit too hard
2 : you're actually this stupid

He wants to be seen as powerful. He’s larping as Jesus. The Bible/a tract/some christian in the jail gave him basic inspiration.

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

t's definitely his delusions. Normal people read to understand a book's content, context and subtext. Chris 'reads' just to see if he can see himself in the content.

That's down to how he processes information, Chris has to put himself in the protagonists shoes to have any hope of understanding fiction.

 

[Pointless Sperg]

I will have to disagree.

Chris is clearly less intelligent than the average person. He doesn't have the severe retardation of many autists, but he still is notably imbecilic. When we thing of "high-functioning autism", we're usually thinking of people who compensate for their autism with above-average intelligence. Imagine playing a video game with a broken controller, but you're smart enough to play decently anyway, working around the limitations that have been placed on you.
