Those who have dealt with Chris properly, do you think he's going to understand Barb died?

He's going down hill mentally, can he actually understand Barb has passed away? I feel this might be an actual issue. He might not be able to accept his mother died.

So what's Chris's grief when Bob died?

He's aware that it's a possibility and he's not going to leave Barb to mummify in her chair. In the past he's called 911 to check on Barb if she didn't pick up the phone quick enough.
 
So what's Chris's grief when Bob died?

Chris didn't seem to comprehend how serious Bob's condition was until he actually died (he was suffering from cancer and heart problems for the last few years of his life). When he actually passed away, Chris was upset both because his father had died and because he'd had a dream where the Grim Reaper told him Bob wouldn't die until 2015, so he was pissed that the Reaper supposedly reneged on that promise. He was also apparently annoyed that he had to take over paying bills and generally doing adult stuff, and a couple of years back he complained that he had more freedom when Bob was alive.

So yeah, he was sad when Bob died, but he was also upset because it meant he had to take on actual responsibility for once in his life.

He really has Peter Pan syndrome

Chris isn't schizophrenic. He's just gullible, delusional, and dissatisfied with IRL. When Snorlax finally croaks, he'll know what's going on. He might "retcon" her death but she will get a grave if that's what you're asking.

Maybe he'll celebrate it because if she dies, it will prove the dimensional merge bullshit, which supposedly is going to genocide bunches of people.
 
I was more wondering if he'd live in a state of denial about it. You know like people who lose their spouse and insist 'they're on a business trip' for years. That is my concern, if he can process the grief, or if he'll basically incorporate Barb never died into fantasy land but she's visiting CWCVille and will come back <someday>
 
It would not be surprising if Barb outlives Chris. Many studies show that autistic individuals typically die before 40.

Pretty much all studies show that Autistic individuals have a dramatically shorter life span than their neurotypical counterparts with average life spans as low as 36 years in at least one study and 39 in another.

Here is an article about life expectency and ASD written by a 36 year old autistic individual who like Chris mentions stress as a huge factor:

If Chris does outlive Barb, there is a very good chance he won't live much long after given his dependence and reliance on her to at least be somewhat functional. It is pretty clear that because of his parents piss-poor job of raising an exceptional child, that Chris will not be able to function independently. Without quick intervention soon after his mothers death it is likely he will soon follow her to the grave.

I would be surprised if Chris made it till 50. Stress is a real killer, it kills millions a year through strokes and other Ischemic episodes like TIAs.

The responsibility issue took awhile to sink in. Like a few months at least. Like, back then, Chris didn't really understand intuitively how much Bob did for the house. "welp, I guess mommay will just need to drive to da store herself denn"

Chris didn't look at his mother and see that she was (or would soon become) feeble and slow and essentially an anchor tied around his leg that he'd need to drag around. That took quite awhile (and a lot of firsthand experience) to sink in.

Immediately, Chris was just sad that his father died so unexpectedly.

Chris' theology is kind of muddled. I'm not sure if he thinks that the other dimension has their own analogs (thus this dimension's version will actually die, just leaving the copy) or if they get merged somehow.

But either way, Chris doesn't think people come back to this dimension. It's a one way trip.

Chris thinks Bob's there, which is really depressing. When it comes to death, Chris treats cwcville as heaven.

That's about real autism, people with the intellectual capacity of chimps. They wander off and drown and stuff. Not just aspergers.

He seemed pretty devastated, and he was somewhat distant from and resentful toward Bob. I think it will be worse when Barb dies because of their fucked up, malignantly symbiotic relationship. Not only will his life change suddenly, completely fucking with his autistic mind, but he'll have lost the only real constant in his life.

Throw in that it's pretty likely he'll also be kicked out of his womb-house at the same time and there's a lot of potential for him to go completely off the deep end.

Oddly enough, Barb is very rarely incorporated into any of the cartoon-dimension stuff. I'd be somewhat surprised (but only somewhat) if he says "Barb's in CWCville now" when she kicks it.

Wandering off and drowning and accidents of that nature certainly skew the life expectancy for ASD individuals, but there are many other factors at play some of which are still not fully understood. Suicide rates among ASD adults are 9 times higher than average and early death from neurological conditions (strokes, seizures, aneurysms, etc) is 40 times more likely in autistic individuals. And suicides do not include accidents from chimping out or wandering off etc...

Many people on the spectrum have some history with seizures which can also begin later in life or go unreported. Even though many of the causes of the stress and anxieties Chris experiences seem childish and pathetic to ordinary people, he still is very much affected physiologically due to those events, ergo, at higher risk to die of a stress related illness and early death.

I can say from working as a firefighter full time in a major city for nearly a decade that we responded to many medical calls that ended up being unexpected fatalities of teens and young adults (mostly male) who were either autistic or were reported to have other cognitive disabilities.

I only discovered CWC a few months ago and I get that you dressed up in pickle suit a decade ago and you have spent tens of thousands of hours of your life devoted to trolling. chronicling and now babysitting Chris, but you are not as omniscient as you believe yourself to be.

Is there a source that totals all that up to a number that excludes non-low functioning autists?

lol why are you so salty? I was criticizing something unrelated to Chris specifically.
