Here are my opinions on several commonly asked questions, from the experience of working in a low-barrier to entry [read: 90% serious mental illness rate] homeless shelter.
I will say I think it is more likely Chris is in a group home or transitional housing rather than a homeless shelter.
How can Chris get into Gateway housing if he's a sex offender, and they say they don't take people with sex offences?
Well, who is going to advertise that they
do take sex offenders? Chris hasn't been formally convicted, isn't on a registry, and incest may not count- basically, it's not unlikely that Chris is still eligible, probably just with more hoops that someone had to jump through for him. If not at Gateway, someplace else.
WOHOAHA! CHRIS IS TOTALLY GONNA DO AN AUTISM FIT AND THEY'RE GONNA MAKE HIM DO WORK!!!! AuTisM MelTDOwnN!!!!
I consider it highly unlikely that the mental hospital did not get Chris on some psych drugs, and in general he's had a lot of his pride beaten out of him, and removed from his built-up hoard of security, toys, and Twitter hugboxing.
Whether he has something else is a matter for debate, but it's clear Chris IS autistic.
He might stress-sigh or throw a tantrum the first few days of having to do a chore or task.
Once it's his routine, he'll do it. He's not so mentally ill, retarded, or oppositional-defiant that basic discipline tactics won't work.
You guys are also assuming a lot of barking of orders.... consider a middle-aged, firm-yet-nice social worker who plays into Chris' delusions somewhat, but also knows how to manipulate him for good and take advantage where she can to get him to act appropriately. Like the bitchy women who complimented Chris on his makeup at the gay bars to fluff their egos. There are lots of social workers like this, who make their living getting 20-something year olds with 0 father figures to wash their butts, wear belts, and work jobs- and a lot of it is coddling and compliments, not yelling.
It's not like Wendy's. A group home won't fire someone for having abysmal performance their first week. I can't speak for group homes, but we let people go about 3 days in the shelter before we ask them to start doing
anything, just so we can assess their mental state and capabilities, and so they can settle in and see how things work.
If Chris really refused to do anything and just constantly chimped out, he'd probably eventually get sent back to jail or a mental hospital. This is a common cycle: mental hospital, jail, transitional program, throw a brick at your social worker, back to jail, etc. Not even getting into probation violations.
What I see for the future:
I honestly see a long and boring arc where Chris is relatively silent online for the years to come, and repeatedly is in court cases, probation, jail, mental hospitals against his will, etc. I can see him violating restraining orders or probation by accessing his mom's accounts or visiting her etc. Any party involved with helping him is going to tell him to not have an online presence.....
The only way you're going to get a more fiery ending to the lore of Chris-Chan is if things go the way of Terry Davis (RIP). I think death by rapidly declining health leading to a prolonged hospital stay or nursing home, something like cancer or uncontrolled diabetes causing complications, or heart attacks/strokes, is also a high possibility in the next fifteen years- and it's highly likely Chris will not be online to post funny tard rages about it.
