I feel the need to add something - yes, Chris-Chan is a big pile of Do Not Want. Yes he's creepy and obnoxious and harasses women. But I feel sorry for the guy - his home life is apparently such a mess that he never had a chance. His parents are racists, his church was pretty intolerant, his house is so hoarded that it's barely usable (allegedly it caught fire from someone using a coffee maker). And for all the people who have told him that the signs, the throwing things at women, the stalking, the creepy porn are NOT the way to find companionship, I wonder if anyone's helped him work out how to meet people in non-harassing scenarios? The guy was mainstreamed in school, and central/southern VA public schools kinda suck - I wonder how much supplemental help he's actually received?

I'd expect the average 30-year-old guy to be able to work past all this crap from his childhood, but I have no idea whether Chris is capable of doing this. I know very little about autism, and can't speak to how much of his weirdness is his own vs. how much is crap piled onto him from other sources, but I see Chris as an example of how social services fails people, as much as an example of a weirdo on the Internet.

His parents have refused to accept help for Chris since pretty much day one. They had him mainstreamed so they could pretend he was completely normal. Granted, any help he would've gotten in school might not have been great, for the reasons you mentioned, but it was lazy, permissive parenting. They were already pretty old when he was born but that's really not an excuse.

Yeah, it's pretty sad.

Yeah, cos social services can spend 1:1 time with everyone with a disability helping them for years on end (which is what it takes to assist a person with ASD to practice social skills).

No, they can't.

Er, parents? Friends? Neighbours?

/a social worker fed up with totally unrealistic expectations. We do not have magic wands or two clients each.

I'm a lot older than 30 and have a hard time dealing with crap from childhood. I always think that, too. "It's from childhood! So long ago! You should be over this!", but it's not that easy.

I don't know the guy, I'm not trying to defend him, just wanted to mention that.
