Hey, so just to start, I am Christopher's cousin.
I do not condone this and neither does the family. We have constant discussions on the topic, therapy sessions, and medication. He has his ENTIRE life.
Christopher Collier is a SEVERLY autistic, socially and intellectually.
When we take away account access, he finds ways because he CRAVES friendship.
He has the mentality of a 12 year old, but the body of a 21 year old and constantly struggles to restrain himself. ESPECIALLY when people on discord, teens included, ask or pressure him into exposing himself to him. It reinforces those actions despite the efforts we put in to prevent this behavior.
Though none of what he does is acceptable, he is not abusive or evil. He is SEVERLY autistic.
What you all can do that I HARDLY EVER see happen is :
Explaining to him what he's doing is wrong as well as WHY.
Reporting his posts for them to be taken down or reporting the accounts.
Ignore/Block/Deletes
What I see :
Harassing and threatening rather than just ignoring and blocking.
Bullying, causing him to feel attacked which leads to shutting down, not understanding.
Messaging his mother that he is bothering them BUT sending threats to him if he leaves their discord server.
Exposure of personal details on a website like this with his SISTER in them???
If you have talked to him, it is clear as day he lacks social understanding, if so bothered, why not do something productive such as help the situation, report/block/delete, or simply avoid??
Just curious to know how posting on a website intimate details, pictures of our family and his personal Facebook accounts, in which our younger family could be exposed to this negative publicity and internet backlash, is supposed to help any of your or his situations.
While his behavior is unexcusable, the way I've seen some of the people respond and handle themselves, to someone CLEARLY challenged, is sad.
Stand up for yourselves or your "art" community, but do it in a way that makes sense.
A sad but very hard lesson in life is that there will be weird people out there, a majority ALOT worse than a powerless, autistic adult child. Learn now how to avoid a bad situation. We are aware of the what is happening, let us work on the behaviors. In the meantime, do not instigate the situation. AVOID if you feel uncomfortable.
He is incapable of doing anything harmful when you ignore or simply say no.
( PS, not mad. I totally get how it looks. Just wild how triggered people get by bad drawings by an autistic dude lol)
