Aye, and he does need to be chastized in those moments; however remember that is a very exceptional person regardless of their Ego.
Chris is that fine line between "Autism" and "Egotistical Procrastinator/Fraudster." which infuriates persons who have Autism because Chris often gets the spotlight attention of "This is what Autism is."
And I completely understand that, because with or without the Autism, Chris, sadly, is not a good, kind, caring, or a forgiving person. He is the exact kind of personality archetype to willingly use "Mental Illness as excuse," which a lot of cows do for sympathy points/exclusions from consequences. However, Chris [as evidenced through the past five years] is someone who has TRUE AND HONEST mental illnesses that interfere with his perceptions, his mind process, and his daily life. ; of which stems much farther than regular autism.
I often try to observe Chris as a psychologist would a patient; what I see is "A very ill man, who at his core isn't that great of a person; but is very ill and needs treatment regardless of his personality."
I offer this metaphor, "A known thief in town contracts a plague and goes to the doctor and says "I'm sick doc, let me in." The doctor opens the door and lets him in. "Why'd you let me in doc, you know I'm a thief." "Because you need help, and you were going to steal regardless of your health or not, now please give me back my watch." The thief chuckled meekly, while pocketing the wallet he snagged off of the doctor.
The point of that story that some people are bad people, no matter what's wrong with them; however we can't ignore when something is wrong with them, even if they will take advantage of you if noticing this.
If you buy from or pay Chris for services, just know there will be disappointment because of a combination of
Severe Mental Illness+Procrastination+Bad Person
