Considering his dad is an "artist" who teaches at a local community college and does local theater, I doubt he has the funds or means to do what Bob did.
There's been some high level artistotle style type of discussions as to whether or not he's been diagnosed, especially since he tends to miss speak and get dates confused. The working theory that has been developed by the analysts over at the subreddit is that he most likely took a test in middle or high school that determined that he had a learning disability and he was placed into a program for special needs students. The legal scholars looked over what you need to qualify for SSDI and concluded that the program most likely helped/guided Clint and Josh to apply for it, and they used the test and references as proof to qualify for it.
Except that at age 18, the ssa does what is called a redetermination. It goes from the child blue book (part B) to adult listings (part A) and the adult listings are stricter.
I think he has an ID and just because Clint says he was never diagnosed with the autism doesnt mean he doesnt have anything else. Maybe he has fragile x, which is extremely common. And maybe during his redetermination, he was sent to a CE and they tested his intelligence.
And since all he does is stream and doesnt do anything requiring critical thinking and is a shut it, the lack of mental stimulation makes it worse.
