Look I am with
@CWCissey on this one, Chris does need some kind of assisted living facility that he will hate at first but once they give him some structure and he adjusts it will just become the new normal for him.
No, Chris will be miserable indefinitely. Autistic people being known for being "fond for routines" isn't literal, in the sense that you can offer them a routine and they'll love it. It just means they function well with predictability.
Right now, Chris is a free adult. He can drive where ever he wants. He can plan and control his life. (Whatever is left after Barb, anyway.) He can do whatever he wants. Constraining that would be a horrible, permanent blow to his quality of life.
It might be what's necessary, but let's not sugarcoat it.
Who else here is fucking shocked the he even had that kind of money to begin with? I still can't wrap my head around that. Maybe it was all cwcki bullshit, but I was under the impression that Chris was living a zero net gain business model.
Chris is decent with his money. I've been saying it forever but no one listens to me. Chris has been managing his money on his own, since 2011, since Bob died. He knows how to scare up money in a pinch.
I agree that it might be worth seeing if he’s eligible just in case, maybe alternatively there’s some techniques a specialist in autism can teach Chris for life coping skills but that’s probally a bit optimistic, the main issue is to quote Chris autistic people are a “Window into hell” for him and I imagine he’d protest and you can’t exactly force him to go into a group home.
No one seems to be able to read shit in context. Chris doesn't literally hate autistic people.
As we’ve seen in the court cases Chris, alongside other autistic people like him seem to be in a legal limbo since they’re technically mentally competent adults since autism is a neurological disorder and not a mental illness and from what I understand having it excludes him from being diagnosed with conditions like schizotypal personality disorder since the symptoms overlap, even though Chris’s magical thinking seems to be far more extensive than the average autistic person.
That's not why Chris is legally an adult. There's no technicality here. Everyone in the US is a legal adult by the time they turn 18. Someone, usually a private individual, needs to go out of their way (substantially out of the way) to take that away. The government doesn't just go around snagging retards and tattooing "mentally deficient, refer to handler" on their foreheads.
To play devils advocate couldn’t either of these people just play the autism card (I’m assuming both Joshua and Stephen are autistic) and claim they thought it was consensual roleplaying with bdsm themes (Hence Chris sending them money/making videos)?
No. The US is not particularly fond of "diminished responsibility", especially when the crimes are as blatant as this one.
One of the funniest things about all this to me is how much we're emphasizing "IF" the police and the law do their job.
Sure I'd like to see justice brought to Wise and Boyd, but what's with all the pessimism and belief that Chris is SERIOUS business? Its like the very same mindset Chris himself has always had, where its "Its something that has to do with me, ITS IMPORTANT."
No, getting any internet crime like this prosecuted takes legwork. It's not that Chris is important, it's that no one's important, and the flip side is that any time there's a prosecution for a vague internet crime like this, it only happens by people pushing it along.
The case itself is a slam dunk case.
Getting it prosecuted will take just pestering the right people enough. It's not that it's certain, but it's also not particularly likely that it won't get picked up. It's a "definite maybe".
So,
@The American Hedgehog,
@neural @Marvin and
@The Captain, you do realize that there are still yet many, many unanswered questions and things unusual that have still not been brought back up?
Jack Z and the $1600? What became of that? Why did we at the time go after him when all he did was give a large sum of his disposable income?
This is why I'm still kinda apprehensive about this whole Scam/Saga. I certainly agree that this was atrocious, but something just doesn't seem right to me about this. There just... seems to be much more going on. Beyond "Idea People."
You're a mongoloid.
And of course, my point always flies over peoples head. I never try to be blunt with my opinions because I know I can sound offensive and not know it.
Your point didn't "fly over anyone's head", you're just inarticulate.
