Do you think a house like this would help him or would he refuse to adapt?

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
Sadly, he won't. He's too stubborn and refuses to change (common among autistics), and I'm sure he still hates "slow-in-the minds."

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
It is a nice idea, but it would only work if he wanted to change. His problem is, he won't do anything to change his life. If he gets in, he'll do a stress sigh and poop himself whenever one of the staff makes him do chores. He'll throw a major fit when the staff make him clean his dirty crapped briefs. Those places should be for the more deserving who actually want to function in life.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
I remember when this topic came up on the old forum, someone said maybe if he went there after he graduated from high school, it would have worked.
A lot of people seem to think CWC will end up in a group home after Barb dies.
Just wondering: how does someone end up in a group home? Are they prescribed?

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
Chris would benefit from a group home once he hit rock bottom. Believe it or not, he hasn't hit rock bottom yet. One day he'll be utterly alone. No mom, no dad, and he'll end up getting in trouble with the law. It's inevitable. At that point, he might be given the option of jail time or time in a home / halfway house. Provided he didn't flee (where would he go?) he just might find himself in a group home because it's the lesser of two evils. Whether it benefits him is totally up to him.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
I want to say he'd benefit more from interacting with regular people. He really hasn't interacted with one meaningfully in awhile. At the same time he still needs help building up those basic living skills with professionals who know how to deal with his autistic quirks, so...

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
Short answer: Chris is not going to a group home unless someone foots the bill. Virginia doesn't have state-sponsored group homes, so if he's admitted to one, it'll be because someone paid his way. I can't think of anyone who would be willing and able to do so.
In order to be involuntarily sent to a home, it would have to be court ordered. This would only happen AFTER Chris had seriously hurt, or tried to hurt, himself or others. Pretty much the only way to institutionalize someone nowadays is after-the-fact. If Chris does wind up in a home, it'll be after someone finds tire marks all over Snyder.
To answer the OP's question, Chris would refuse to adapt. However, I would suggest that even with him fighting the change every minute of the day, he would be better off than he is now.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
As a minor, Chris could have been forced by his parents to live in such a home. As an adult, nobody can force Chris to stay there. I think he'd be unwilling to stay there, because they wouldn't permit him to live his shithole lifestyle. At the very most, maybe Chris could be coerced into staying there, and following the rules, if he had absolutely nowhere else to live or he only got an inheritance if he stayed there. And, yet, we've seen Chris defeat his own best interests numerous times, for immediate gratification. I can see Chris flush such an opportunity down the toilet, because he doesn't want to give up McDonald's.
Christian Weston Chandler meets no diagnostic criteria to be assigned to such a home, by the state of federal government. The only way this could happen is if he is somehow severely handicapped by injury or illness, and is rendered completely incapable of caring for himself. That's actually not too unlikely, given his lifestyle. I can see him suffering a stroke that leaves him severely brain damaged. Barring such occurrence, however; if Chris commits a crime and is sentenced, he's going to prison. People far more mentally handicapped than Chris are sentenced to prison every day.
Even if Chris somehow was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial, state and federal mental facilities are just prisons with more nurses and pharmacists. When you're sentenced to prison, you have some idea when you might get out. Those assigned to mental facilities may never be diagnosed fit for release - many times it's a life sentence.
The idea of Chris being assigned by some authority to a group home is a fairy tale. Barring intervention of a genie, or a complete change to state laws, this isn't happening.
Chris' unwillingness to take any step to improve himself, just about guarantees an abysmal fate for him. Chris can't motivate himself to change, and nobody else can legally force him to change for the better. In prison he might be forced to a regular schedule, low calorie diet, regular exercise, and to behave himself - but they'd only be suppressing his inner retard - not fixing it. And that assumes he isn't victimized by the rest of the prison population. With bitch tits like his, I suspect he's not going to be left alone unless he's isolated from the rest of the population.

He would end up getting scared or angry and wind up biting someone the first day.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
You're right. He was deemed sane during his trial--all he has is a mild form of autism exacerbated by a lack of proper treatment when he was younger.GFYS said:

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
To answer the OP's question:
Nah, he'd much rather remain in 14 Branchland Court until the internal house structure became too rotten to hold itself together and everything went crashing down, burying our autistic hero in the process (unless he was at McDonald's when it all happened) and all of our hopes and dreams of a Christian Weston Chandler Museum of Failure with him.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
There's also the fact that barely anyone treated Chris's autism as a real thing, unless it related to Bob 'n' Barb trying to net some sympathy points.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
If Chris was the kind of person who would be willing to accept guidance and support from group home staffers, he could have benefited from any number of less drastic interventions instead.

Re: Would Chris benefit from a group home for autistic adult
I think it would be too late if he is taken care in a group home right now. If it's done earlier, probably it will help him.
