"Okay, why don't you just shut the hell up about that, huh? You keep bringing that one incident up over and over again, even if it has nothing to do with the subject at hand, and I have have had enough of it. One little incident doesn't make a case for autism, you stupid yammering moron. You mentioned once you suffer from depression. How would you like it if I brought it up every chance I got? "Oh, hey, how ya doin', pal? Little down in the dumps today, hm? Life not treating you well? You have yourself a good cry on the bathroom floor? How's that Prozac taste, bub? How's it feel to have to cut your steak with a plastic spoon because Mommy won't let her little Holly-berry have a knife because he might slash his little wristies?" How's that feel, huh, jackass?"
And, once again, demonstrating all the intellectual capacity of a bag of beef jerky, Jon worsens his appearance by trying to insult others. By bringing up Holdek's depression, then making up a hypothetical about Holdek cutting his wrists, he's implying that Holdek's problem would have resulted in a negative action. Using that algebra, Jon is stating that yes, indeed, he has a problem - a grown man getting stuck inside a hospital unable to leave would have been the negative action indicating it - but he doesn't tell us what the problem is. Here's what he states instead:
1. The hospital was virtually abandoned, and "spooky". How this prevented him from finding an exit and leaving is never explained.
2. His family is at fault for not coming to get him despite the late hour. How this prevented him from finding an exit and leaving is never explained.
3. His brother, ASU, his so-called ex, etc., etc., etc. None of this, as you may have guessed, explains what prevented him from finding an exit and leaving.
All of this is simply projecting fault on everyone else but the central figure of the story, the one person who would have been responsible for leaving the hospital to begin with. Add to it a heaping amount of invective and sneering anger, and it becomes obvious that you've hit Jon where it hurts. The way the world is supposed to work is that Jon should be allowed to do whatever he wants, no matter how disrespectful, disruptive, illegal, or stunningly incompetent it may be. You are not allowed to tell him what he's done wrong, or question why he did it, only accept that he did it, and rush to help him. Jon may be helpless as a baby, but our job is to change his diaper, not complain about the smell.
). So suggesting that he has autism is really kind of the ultimate blow, which would explain his explosion of invective. But, see that's just how he perceives it, and not my intention. Like Chris, Jon sees everything as a cartoon-like struggle between heroes and villains:
