Yeah, that really sticks out to me. But, it fits his pattern of caring more about his damned Sailor Moon DVDs than the Bluespike incident. Chris actually doesn't comprehend a lot of what goes on around him.
It's totally a cry for a pity party, but fuck... that's the kind of thing that any decent therapist *cough*RockyYouUselessBint*cough* should use as a red flag. If she knew about this, or similar comments, and didn't do everything in her power to have him checked... fuck her.

It was sad hearing a 3rd party relate his treatment at MHS, but yeah, it was even sadder to read Chris adamantly denying this "interpretation" as an exaggeration. He just won't accept that his disability is anything other than a mark of being special. It also perfectly demonstrates the failure of "mainstreaming" in his case, as well as how thoroughly ingrained its efficacy is in his head, despite all evidence to the contrary.
It's like his early life has gotten him so used to special treatment that he thinks altering reality constitutes a "reasonable accomodation". It's depressing, and quite frankly maddening.
For a moment, I confounded Chris with the author of the relayed e-mail and felt that he was on the cusp of a major breakthrough...then I got to the point in which he weighed in his thoughts...DrChristianTroy said:

This looks like a troll (or maybe Mimms? He says that Mimms can't be trusted) contacted one of Chris's gal-pals, got their real opinions of him, then forwarded it back to Chris. I know I'm going to be in the minority, but this makes me feel bad for him. It is hurtful for ANYONE to find out that someone they thought was their friend really isn't. Yes, his own actions creeped everyone out, but I still think he doesn't/didn't understand how the rest of the world sees the things he does. For example, he doesn't know the difference between pervy and sexy.
And for the people who are thinking "haha, serves fatty right", keep in mind: this is only confirming Chris's belief that it's not him, that the people who are now shunning him were never really his friends and have always lied about & to him anyway. Really, there's nothing good that could come of this. I think that Chris is interesting, it's fun to watch his reactions to a world that he doesn't understand at all, but I don't like to see people going out of their way to hurt his feelings.
I will admit, however, that the way his idea of being "picked on" is made up entirely of 80's movie cliches is annoying.

The fact that he used blatant stereotypes of bullying made me snicker. "No one shoved me in a locker or gave me a wedgie, so I wasn't bullied that much!"DrChristianTroy said:

He's watched barb use the threat of suicide to manipulate people his entire life. It gets results (until it eventually backfires and you find yourself locked in a room at the top floor of a hospital somewhere)

Whether it's legit or not, Chris needed this realization. Maybe enough of these will have him reflect on the kind of person he's been his whole life.

Why can't Chris feel grateful for their support? I've been in his shoes sort of and I too had some girl friends who helped me. I was aware they pitied me tho. I understand he could miss that little detail because he's autistic, but after all those years it'd be good to show a bit of gratitude (or, preferably, just leave them alone) - they were trying to help him FFS. Instead, he pities himself and thinks he was a victim of Kick The Autistic - Galpal Mode. He's an ungrateful, fat bastard.

What bugs me is that he is fully aware that his autism keeps him from picking up on social cues and social norms, but yet he defends how he acts socially and on social media so hard. It's like he forgets that he doesn't grasp these things. High functioning, but not that high functioning.

Really quick observations as I head out:
1) I'm glad this is happening. Not in an a-log-y way, but because it's the first step towards better mental health. First pop the misconceptions and delusions about high school, and then start to move on with your life.
2) I can't say that I don't totally blame Chris for feeling bad about being liked out of pity. I had a fair amount of popularity in 10th through 12th grades (which was a first for me). If I had gone to my reunion a few weeks ago and found that my classmates had only liked me out of pity, it would have been a hit to the balls to my self-esteem too.
At the same time, I don't blame Tiffany and the others for putting space between themselves and Chris at all. If Chris had been in my class, I would too.
3) Chris' interpretation of bullying underscores how much his ideas about life (or at least high school) are influenced by TV and movies. If it's not wedgies and swirlies, it isn't bullying. Does anyone actually still do those things in real life high school?

Nit-picking a little, but 24/7/365 should actually be 24/7/52 (.14 or.28 if you want to go wild) since it's supposed to be escalating units, but even then it's skipping the month step (24/7/4.whatever/12). Besides, it's made redundant, since 24/7 automatically implies "all the time", so, yet again, Chris has failed to grasp the original concept of a commonly used expression.
On a more relevant note though, I don't think this will have much of an effect on Chris. Sure, he'll be shaken now, but he'll just add it to his list of Hallmark Emotional Hurtful Moments and continue doing the same things he always does. I wish it weren't the case, but he's given very little reason to believe otherwise.

Wow, just wow... Chris actually minimizing something that could be seen as a legitimate hardship?
I guess he still thinks having pennies thrown at him wasn't a form of bullying; he really *is* slow-in-the-mind,

Part of the reason that Chris has grown into the ranting, entitled, shithead he is today is that people have always gone out of their way NOT to hurt his feelings. This is long overdue, and it might (MIGHT) slow his roll just enough to keep him out of a situation where someone's looking to hurt way more than his feelings, which is where he's been headed.IgnorantBystander said:

This is very true...I'm just wondering if too much would cause him to go to far and possibly hurt himself.
