Plan to Hang Out With His Peers -

[LucridMockery]

Do you think it's time for Chris to bite the bullet and confront the gateway to Hell, meaning attempt to hang out with his real peers....Mentally Challenged adults age 18 to his current age?

They are the only people who may actually enjoy being around Chris (as in enjoy his company), have things in common with him, not judge him by too high a standard, commiserate with him, understand him, and may be (for the females) the only girls who would like him?

Male friends are also important to young boys, and I think part of his problem is, this was skipped over by CWC in his life.

It would end his loneliness, if only he could stop being a high and mighty snowflake and truly open his heart up to true friendship (honest GIVE and take and compassion).

He might even get a Sweetheart who thinks he's swell and they could put their disability checks together, (and with the help of a maid, CNA, or social worker), and make a nice home for themselves.

Hell, even some Down Syndrome people marry eachother and have kids and live a happy, fulfilling life!

An Autism support group for his age group would be perfect. It would be local, real people who actually will not think he's strange and probably have never heard of him (because of possible limited internet supervision). Not all Autistic people sit there are drool on themselves all day as he seems to think. Most of them accomplish alot more than he has!

I think it's his last chance. He's burned everything else and Barb won't be here much longer.....(I hope he's reading this)

It's something that could help his life, get him out of this spiral he's stuck in, possibly find him a sweetheart, and all he has to do is confront his fears and swallow his pride?

He'd rather hump a cactus.

Nah, Chris would like to socialize, but Barb won't let him. She keeps him on a short leash.

Then he wouldn't be Christian Chandler.

The thing with socializing with actual people is you have to make sacrifices and put actual effort into relationships. Even ones with other Slow-In-Da-Minds. Chris would just like people to flock to him like a King and start conversations with him about his fecal incontinence.

Ironically there are people who would do just that, except that trolls do it to laugh at him rather then stimulate his intelligence. (Or lack thereof)

Although it's often suggested, I don't think the idea of putting 'tards together will increase the likelihood of them making friends. If they have a hard time figuring out how to interact with normal people, they won't necessarily have an easier time figuring out how to interact with fellow 'tards.

I assume kids in special needs classes make friends with each other and talk to each other like other kids. From what I saw they get along with each other ok. Also, most slower people get along find with everyone and have more to offer as far as positive personality traits than Chris, it's just the Chris has tried being around normal people and it's not working out too well for him.

Other mongoloids and autistics wouldn't want anything to do with Chris. I don't want anything to do with him except maybe for going to his funeral and yelling "JULAAAAAY!" #shoot

GLORIA AUGUSTA!

Hi A-Log!

It's a good idea, but Chris only wants to hang out with normal people, not fellow slow-in-the-minds. As it is, Barb won't let him hang out with anybody. The Ohio incident spooked Bob enough to reel the leash in a bit, and once Bob got sick and died Barb was able to reel him in completely. Bob was delusional about certain things, but at least he tried to encourage Chris to leave his room.

 

[pickleniggo]

Well, Chris thinks he's the only True and Honest high functioning autistic. Everyone else is below him, according to him own shallow thinking.

Also, if Barb cared about Chris in the least, she would try to secure his future. But then again, she should have started trying a long time ago.

 

[Anchuent Christory]

Even if you take Barb out of the equation, Chris biggest barrier to making friends isn't autism... It's his thoroughly unpleasant personality. He views socially normal people as beneath him, let alone "slow-in-da-minds". Unless Chris suddenly grows some humility and the ability to learn from others, he'd gain absolutely nothing from a special needs group, and the other members would gain even less.... I wouldn't wish it on them.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great idea for anybody in Chris' position,I just think Chris is too stubborn and arrogant to realize this.

Yeah, that's true, but Chris would probably act aloof as he thinks he is above all of the other "Windows to Hell."

 

[QI 541]

Chris would probably try to assert dominance over the other slow-in-the-minds and get himself alienated, and then wonder why he doesn't have any friends.

 

[CatParty]

Chris does not want to share his toys.

He whines about being lonely, but ultimately he is too selfish an arrogant to create meaningful relationships with other people.

 

[Marvin]

Eh, Chris can (and has) made friends in the past. We've been exposed very intimately to him being a shithead for years, but IRL you wouldn't necessarily see the full picture. What'd fuckup his potential friendships IRL would be his inability to keep his hands to himself and other things like that.

 

[Kosher Dill]

his inability to keep his MANOS to himself

What, is he that weirdo who puts his hand on your shoulder, insists on greeting people with hugs, etc? Or are we talking straight-up trying to cop a feel on the nearest boyfriend-free girl?

 

[JarlaxleBaenre]

I believe he got touchy feely with Emily. Megan also had to tell him to keep his hands to himself when they were at the Game Place. Kacey also commented on Chris being a bit touchy; I think that was brought up in the Father Calls.

Just like he does over every other person with whom he socializes.

He does have a habit of treating his friends pretty shitty though, if you let it go over time. He may not be a shithead directly - he may even sound polite and pleasant - but in the end, he'll eventually make it clear that he expects regular service and tribute from his "friends".

 

[BigAltheGreat921]

Chris isn't capable of any relationship, friendly or romantic. I've said it again and I've said it before: he only cares about himself. In his warped mind everything is about him and him alone.
