As those scenarios progressed a normal person would be able to keep themselves collected, but he quickly lost his shit when things started getting difficult. He has terrible impulse control, and he has a very difficult time masking his emotions. Because he's autistic.

...Then why was he practically offering to suck Bluespike/Max's dick during the whole Julie/PSN saga, despite how "stressful" all of that was to him? He was nice and deferential because he thought he had something to gain from being that way, not because he was in good spirits. He's demonstrated the ability to be decent in all kinds of different circumstances even with people that he has an antagonistic relationship with.

He's just not going to bother doing that with Mary because she can't offer him anything apart from sweet nothings. I reiterate, it's because he's an asshole, not because he's autistic.

This is great. I think this would be better with Chris' newest frumpy facebook selfie.

Once again, Chris disregards useful advice that Anna's mom gave to him.

Sorry, but this doesn't apply to the real world.

Ha! Hello, old friend. I drew that back in the /cwc/ days. I thought it was long gone.

I only just realised that it has CWC's face on it. Nice work...

I found it in the gallery of the Asperger's Syndrome article on ED.

Sorry, not buying this. In the beginning of the father call, Chris made a very clear and deliberate effort to be tactful so he could make a good impression. He did the same thing (more or less) during the Miyamoto saga and he tried (albeit not very hard) to butter up to Snyder in the audio from when he tried to get back into the Game place. He knows how to be decent and he knows the importance of it, but he doesn't care. He doesn't care because he's an asshole, not because he's autistic.

You make a pretty good counterargument, but I don't think it holds up to scrutiny, because the examples you give are also good examples of Chris not keeping his shit together while under pressure. He started out in good spirits because he was in good spirits; he thought things were going to go his way. There was nothing for him to fake at first.

As those scenarios progressed a normal person would be able to keep themselves collected, but he quickly lost his shit when things started getting difficult. He has terrible impulse control, and he has a very difficult time masking his emotions. Because he's autistic.

The humor in it is not the dickish response itself, but rather that he ONLY responds to HER in such a way.
Other people he interacts with seem to either get no response or just whiny responses.
But when she gives he optimistic and pseudo-helpful comments, he seems to lash out at her and her alone.
I dunno, maybe he resents her for taking Anna away from him or he simply feels he has no use for her because she isn't a girl to fuck him nor a girl who can get other girls to fuck him.

Never been so proud and ashamed.

Hmmm... Now that is offensive, under Asperger's Syndrome? Really, ED? I am rather offended by that, but this is the internet.

yes, aspergers is once again trying to steal the spotlight from TRUE AND HONEST high functioning autistics.

Eeexactly! He's never really snapped against Anna or Kim on Facebook (he's been fairly dismissive at times, but never as rude as he to the mother) and that's what makes it funny.

 

[Kosher Dill]

Does he even realize it's Anna's mother?

 

[drmccoy]

Why are you all so hung up on how he treated Anna's mom? He's fucking autistic. He probably has no idea how shitty he sounded while talking to her. Autistic people very frequently have problems with tact and empathy.

Yeah, got to agree here. I know Autism can make people seem like assholes but it's really just social awkwardness. Chris, on the other hand, is just plain being an asshole here, no Autism card this time.

I also agree, because my sister is autistic, and so is my twin brother, and they're both relatively ok. They don't go out of their ways to be arseholes, they just come off as arseholes sometimes because they yell, and don't use inside voices, or my twin calls someone who disagrees with him a jerk, or an arsehole (I feel that the specific swearing behavior is more habit, and less him going out of his way to be an arsehole.)

Chris just uses his Autism card everytime he's an arsehole, and thinks he can get away with it. Eventually, he's going to be an arsehole to the wrong person, (just like when he was in the GaME PLaCE, and almost got beaten by a black person because he almost called them the n-word,) and he's going to get his arse handed to him by said person, because said person won't take any cheek from him.

That's not what happened. He said something to the effect of "I'm gonna beat your face!" and the other guy got up, so Chris whimpered "I meant your face-down monster."

 

[Coldgrip]

If he did would that matter to him? She not helping him solve his problems (hand him a gal-pal, resuce him from Blarb, ect.) so she may as well be a ]P.

We have a lot of female users here so she might well be.

Figured I'd give it a shot.
