Whilst Chris has created this weird mishmash of video games, anime tropes and his own weird belief systems that keep changing and evolving.
I'd argue due his autism that it's not actually all that deep.
Expansive? Without question. Fascinating? Yeah, kinda.
But let's be real it's about as deep as a puddle.
I don't know about his Autism not being too severe. One thing I recall him talking about many times, mostly about not getting a job, is that he says that he randomly lets out "shouts and other loud noises". From Chris's perspective, he was basically saying that he can't control just blurting out noises at random times.
His speech is another thing that's weird. He spoke relatively normally for years after college, but then it kept degrading. When he tried his fake girl voice, he seemed to put more effort into speaking properly, but it still has a deteriorated. It's not like Chris was shut off from socializing or seeing socialization, the kids show he watches were all done in very clear, very concise speech, that he should have picked up on.
Looking at Chris has made me look at other people with autism, and I just don't see how Chris could even be in the high-functioning tier. A lot of autistic folks generally have one really good quality, like remembering faces, or good at math or something, but Chris seems like he's really on the low-functioning autism scale. Nonverbal autism is also grouped into that.
Digging even further into the autism rabbit hole, low-functioning autism spills over into
Intellectual Disability Land, (new term for mental retardation), and once you get into that magical realm, Chris starts to hit nearly every nail on the head. His face too has that tard look as well, his really sunken eyes and other features that look suspect.
I wonder if Chris was really misdiagnosed with autism when he really should have been diagnosed more with being intellectually disabled, and everything his parents did just made it worse, like tossing a genuine retard into the public school system and letting mass media/the internet raise him. Thus, the entire world to him is just a series of tropes. Even being bombarded by media for years, when Chris tries to make up a story or something, it really get weirdly paced and we get those giant walls of text, or else some ripped off joke. The only ones I've seen that make any sense are when he pivoted Sonichu to his day to day nonsense, since they actually followed a story line.
I think someone with autism could understand the world enough to want and try to fit in better, but a retard probably would be completely unable no matter how hard they tried.
