Sadly, some of the more militant disability rights activists espouse quite a few of these very same attitudes. ( I saw one over-the-top comment where someone actually tried to link a cure for autism to some sort of genocide / eugenics / ethnic cleansing thing. ) I'm really surprised that Chris hasn't involved himself with this bunch.

Chris has occassionally expressed a desire to be free of autism and he has voiced tepid support for finding a cure. I see the perspective that he is more mixed on it, and that he might be a little reluctant to give up his autism shield. But I can't see him going so far as to join a fight against the cure.
 
Does Chris even know how his autism causes him problems? Not that he's the master of introspection or anything, but I always got the feeling that when he talked about autism he (and probably his parents) sees it in terms of general mental retardation + social awkwardness. Which is inaccurate, to say the least, but it fits the pop cultural view of autism. This was touched upon in Sonichu Annotated and while I dismissed it at the time as mere speculation I think there might be something to that theory.
 
He wants anything he wants whenever he wants and exactly how he want it without any effort on his part and regardless of the cost to others. Girls, money, being mayor (dictator) for life of his own city-state, any girl he wants, the complete admiration of everyone around him regardless of what he does, and most importantly of all, he wants no work whatsoever. Even the cushiest jobs in the world at least require some nominal effort on part of the employee, but if you made a deal with Chris that he can have all of those in exchange for him to just stand and say 'I'm a fish I have a fish, I LOVE fish' once a year for someone... he'll either decline it or find a way to screw it up.
 
Chris expects that society should revolve around him/his needs. What I mean by this is that he is so comfortable with the ideas and objects that benefit him that any outside force is (or was) seen as some sort of threat. He has said countless times that he wants people to tolerate him yet he is not willing to do the same. Plus, like many have probably said on this thread, he has the assumption that certain things are promised to him despite most of those things came in a dream.
