I asked a similar question a while back, and I'm fairly certain that the answer was no. At the very least I know Ahuviya isn't Jack and Fatman isn't Alec. What I want to know is how Chris managed to get that information for the "Calling Out" saga. My guess is that someone deliberately sent him misinformation and Chris, being Chris, just rolled with it.
Yep, pretty much. He made that little post about the Lego head with a clown nose.
The house was built in 1977, so it's possible bob lived there with his first family.
Considering Chris came out of schools which, among other things, told parents to tie grades to financial rewards, it wouldn't surprise me if this was also the case.
" and then by the time he discovered his own thread he was a lot more self-aware and very mature. To me comparing any slightly weird, awkward person you know about to CWC is not much different than meeting someone who's a complete prick and comparing them to Adolf Hitler.
?
Would young Chrissy have beneffited from a school like this?
Kind of hard to believe there are so many schools that specialize in teaching autistic children to hold jobs in menial labor. I thought most autistics were smart enough to become prodigies, to become people like Einstein, Thomas Edison, Charles Darwin, or every other famous successful person in history. What gives
You mean, like Jacob Barnett? The kid who went to college at age 12? Now he's challenging Einstein's theory.Kind of hard to believe there are so many schools that specialize in teaching autistic children to hold jobs in menial labor.

is a physics student. According to a biography penned by his mother, Barnett was diagnosed with autism when he was 2 years old...
I suppose this is something similar to Godwin's Law. While we have been following Chris for as long as we have, as well as hearing about other lolcows with similar characteristics, and the discussions go on long enough, someone's going to compare some socially awkward autistic person to Chris and they all blend together. If I had a dollar for every post that said that in the "Personal Lolcows" thread,well...Am I the only person who finds it really annoying when ever there's a strange, spergy person and people immediately compare them to Chris? A good example of this would be when SammyClassicSonicFan was around 12-13 and so many people were saying "THIS KID IS GOING TO GROW UP TO BE CHRIS!
In other words, it's a comparison that I think should only be used in the most extreme cases or when it really is eerily similar. For example, Jay Naylor is definitely a stupid cunt, but he lives in his own house and is independent, so he's just an asshole, not anything like OPL. The Iconoclast, on the other hand, is a 38 year old manchild who's accomplished nothing, has been booted from college, blames all of his problems on an imaginary enemy, makes awful webcomics, and lives with his mother and his psycho brother in the middle of nowhere, so he's definitely very similar to Chris.
