I am a little concerned about the next saga being a horrendous news story regarding the violent death of Barb.
I know, I know. Chris is a pussy and all that jazz but it's the specific conditions that Blarb has put him in. Under certain circumstances even HFAs can turn into rampaging monsters.
For reading I suggest
The Monster Inside My Son. It had been a while since I read it and with autism you do get a lot of the "speshul snowflake" bullshit community going on mass damage control.
This quote in particular:
This was isolation, frustration, hormonal surges, poor impulse control and hopelessness. It was adult autism, the psychiatrist told me: one awful direction it can take.
OPL is more isolated and more hopeless than ever.
EDIT: I forgot there might be a link with excess testosterone in the autistic brain... No fear of that with pronounced gynecomastia.
