What kind of therapy would Chris need?
I know that more speech therapy is on the top, I just don't know what the rest is.
Maybe some more book learnin' like the mechanics of grammar and what not; he abuses prepositions like Ike abused Tina after a night of snorting lots of crack.

If Bob and Barb made him stick with it, therapy absolutely would have worked. He's not unreceptive to therapy - after his court-ordered sessions we saw him briefly picking up and using some of the terms he learned there. If he had continued therapy long enough for it to really get ingrained in his thick, autistic brain I think it would have had lasting effects.
 
If I'm being honest, his autism probably would've kicked in and made him not take any of the advice a therapist/counselor would've given him, especially with his upbringing.

Parents are more important in these kind of situations, they pretty much make the child.

But hey, you know, he was given anti-depressants so maybe he actually did go to a therapist, so if thats anything to go by...

No. It didn't do shit.

That same therapy told him he was a special snow flake and he was not at fault, he really needed a special needs school and not a hug box group.
 
You ought to know Chris is:

No, simply because therapy would have required his parents to be on board and continue with the programme at home, and I think they've shown they would have been unwilling to do that. If they didn't want him at a special school, why would they have followed through with a therapy programme which worked on the assumption of Chris being 'special'?

With therapy and different parents? Sure, that would have helped. But therapy with Barb and Bob? I don't think it would have made a massive difference.

They were OK with therapy. They just didn't want Chris to go to a special school.

They had Chris in speech therapy and coping classes elsewhere.
 
He might have had a chance, but he would need on going therapy for most of his life.

No one gave enough of a shit about him to make that a realistic thing, though.
 
No, he has lived in a parallel world for far too long. Anyone else suspected that he may be schizotypal on top of being autistic? StPD is the most difficult personality disorder to treat and has some solid overlap with schizophrenia.

That said, where I live, Chris would have surely been locked up for psychiatric examination for ten days (not a measly 72 hours like in the states) after running over Michael Snyder, and he would have a court-ordered social worker looking after him.

Having had a therapist of my own for a while, they only do so much. You have to then take what you learn and apply it to yourself, and learn from the experiences to live a better life.

Chris could take all the therapy in the world, but until he wants to change for himself, or until he gets out of his egotistic shell, he's just going to hear words and twist them to where they appraise him instead of point out his flaws.

In a sense, Chris without the autism would be a narcissist. The autism just covers that bit up and makes it look like he's some dumb lazy American redneck from Virginia.
 
It will never work, if you're talking about general autism related social pragmatics therapy. He needs to go to a military boot camp.
 
Therapy might have helped his autism symptoms, but Chris either naturally or through his upbringing has some not so great traits that wouldn't really have been helped unless they were separately addressed. He might not have been as much of a sperg, but he'd still be kind of a jerk.
 
If his parents were consistent with the therapy, followed through with all suggestions, worked hard on him, and sent him to tard school he'd be in a much different place now. Likely employed at some low level job, maybe independent, some fellow tard friends, hell maybe even a little tardette.
Therapy would have been effective, and has been effective for far worse off cases, if there was genuine commitment from both parents.
I just don't see barb committing to jack shit cept a hoard and a q-sand.
