I say change is his biggest issue. Even in dire straits, he is happy playing with Lego and living with Barb. He refuses to learn until he absolutely has to. And even then, what does he have to show for it?

This seems to be a common staple of willfilly ignorant families. You know, the same type that raise a stink about evolution being taught to their kids and then yell at the science teacher because their perfect child performed terribly on state testing.

So long story short: Barb.
 
Upbringing. His parents didn't just raise him to be an entitled asshole, they actively sought to shield him from anyone who might have actually been able to help him. He was taught from day one that he was always right, should never have to do anything even slightly inconvenient, deserves to have his every whim immediately granted by others with no effort on his part, and that anyone who says different is a purely evil subhuman out to hurt him for no reason.
 
The poll is kinda apples and oranges. Upbringing, autism and intelligence are causes, others are results.
I say sense of entitlement. It's connected to his incapability to see the reality as it is. It made him never put effort into anything, because he kept thinking that just his presence is enough to be praised for half-assed work and win every contest.
However, now I think more about it, sense of reality it is. As I said, the entitlement stems from it, as do lots of issues. Chris thinks everything is arbitrary instead of cause-and-effect with some randomness thrown in. The 3-date rule is a prime example.

For realzies, though, I went with his issues with reality. Everything points to that as a huge helper on his autistic-tastic adventures, or as the source. Chris never once tries to think how someone else would approach a situation. He cannot ever understand that the entire universe was not made to entertain and worship him (this could also be 'ego' or 'entitlement' as my other options I would've chosen), or that people will not do things for him or give things to him just because he said so. He cannot realize anything to do with society, or human interaction, or the reality that his life is a giant mess that was swallowed up in the neverending sea of Barb's hoard and his own, or that when people die they do not become summoned like a familiar in Skyrim, or that the entire point of GodJesus is not to kill or curse people who you don't like the look of. Every single action he does is because he's a tard and he has no idea of how reality works and he doesn't want to. One of Chris' biggest flaws that tie in with everything else is he will outright ignore the most basic and reasonable of sound logic ever to be conceived. Common sense is not a concept he has ever, EVER, been able to develop into his tiny mind and understand. He cannot comprehend why life isn't a Sims game where you click a few icons and he's given everything he's ever wanted and all consequences can just be fixed with a restart. It is not like all of the shows he watched (still watches) where everyone is happy in the end and nothing bad lingers. Obstacles and hardships are completely foreign to him and anything not relating to his five-minute happiness make no sense to him.

Still, I wanted to just go with "being a creepy fuck" but that wouldn't be as fun to explain.
 
Indeed. He is a fat, stupid, selfish, unhygienic, delusional, selfish, hypocritical, co-dependant asshole . . . plus autism. Anything else? Or is the list complete?

you forgot "shits himself"
 
It's hard to pick any single one, but in the end I went for laziness. His life could be so much better if only he'd haul himself up off his ample backside and do something to improve his lot. Take, for instance, his sweetheart search. If he lost weight, showered, smartened up, got a job and actually tried approaching women, he might have some success. But what the sagas have shown is that the moment he has to make any effort, he'll do the bare minimum, and if that's not enough, he'll shrug and retreat to his hugbox. It's the same with everything in his life. The moment something becomes an effort, he'll invent some lame excuse, probably involving stress or autism or lack of money (that went on Lego). People have tried to help him, but it's always the same story. If they don't do everything for him, he's just not interested. I'd also say that egotism, stubbornness and entitlement play into this, but they're subservient to his life goal of doing fuck-all.

I honestly think that if he'd applied himself, he could have been happy. He'll never be the high-flying billionnaire games magnate with a supermodel wife waiting on him hand and foot. But he could have got himself a job, plodded along, saved some money, moved out, got himself a girlfriend maybe. As it is, he has literally no reason to even get out of bed in the mornings, and his life has been such a mess for so long that his chances of gainful employment and a sweetheart recede further and further into the distance.
 
His autism is the root of his social maladjustment and lack of common sense, but it wouldn't be impacting him to such an astounding extent were it not for his upbringing.

His upbringing steered him in the direction that he's now permanently going in, but if autism wasn't a factor there's a good chance he'd never have become the spectacle he did.

I think he'd have been fine - if somewhat troublesome - with one or the other, but the combination of both has ruined his life.
 
Ya know something, brother? Chris's issue mainly lies with his laziness and his opposition to change. He could start working out to become less of a fat ass. He could get a job. But he won't because he is lazy and afraid of change. Both would improve his life, man
