21 hours agoI don’t see the healthcare angle of things tbh. Chris had an adequate of intervention in their youth but it was deflected by their parents. There’s not much you can do to treat a high-functioning autistic when Mom and Dad say “no.”
I’d argue it’s a condemnation of “groupthink” more than anything, with entire websites set up to torment them because everyone involved thought everyone else involved thought it was funny and not at all morally reprehensible.
Chris graduated high school, graduated community college, had a fine social life in their youth, designed websites, wrote poetry, etc., etc. There was never any reason for intervention past a few counseling sessions that he did receive.
