	Chris's fixations also manifest as [[brand loyalty]]. Chris has been loyal to Nintendo, Sega and Sony, to the exclusion of [[HEXbox\|Microsoft]]. He's loyal to [[McDonald's]] and dislikes [[Burger King]]. He felt that [[Harry Potter]] was a threat to [[Pokemon]]. His brand loyalty went beyond simple preferences and extended to actual obsessions and hatreds. He'd hype up [[Axe]] and [[Walmart]] in videos. He'd blindly trust advertisements and even include ads of his own in his comics.		Chris's fixations also manifest as [[brand loyalty]].

	~~Chris's [[transgender]] identity is yet another fixation.~~ According to psychologist Ken Zucker, trans folks are more likely to be autistic than the general population. ~~The~~ link is caused by~~, among other traits,~~ autistics' tendency to fixate on issues (in this case, gender). Many autistic males (including Chris) also have qualities that can be considered effeminate, such as passiveness. Since they have less social awareness, they may behave in ways that can be considered atypical for either sex and display less regard for gender roles. Chris and many other autistics perceive their quirks as being "female in a male body" or vice versa, and assume that they will fit in better as their desired sex.		According to controversial psychologist Ken Zucker, trans folks are more likely to be autistic than the general population. In his view, the link is caused by autistics' tendency to fixate on issues (in this case, gender). Many autistic males (including Chris) also have qualities that can be considered effeminate, such as passiveness.

Chris and many other autistics perceive their quirks as being "female in a male body" or vice versa, and assume that they will fit in better as their desired sex.

			However, it may also be that autistic people are less likely to give into gender expectations and are more likely to come out and be ''openly'' trans.

	His fixation showed itself strongly when Sega changed [[Sonic]]'s arms from tan to [[Sonic Boom protests\|blue]]. Chris launched a crusade that ended with him [[26 December 2014\|macing an innocent GameStop employee]]; a criminal offense launched entirely by a minor change to a fictional character who happens to be Chris's icon.

Chris's misconceptions about autism

	Chris also seems to only be aware of the symptoms of autism that fit in with his odd, pseudo-Bohemian lifestyle. Asexuality is very common in autistic people; this is because any form of romance or sex may be too intimate for an autistic mind to cope with. This completely contradicts Chris's "[[Love Quest]]" and suggests that he is actually trying to compensate for his inability to feel true sexual attraction, even if that means becoming a genuinely disturbing pervert. His tone-deafness for singing is fairly unusual for an autistic individual as well – autistic people tend to have stronger pitch perception, and they are more likely to have perfect pitch than the general population.

	Chris's failure to understand the symptoms of autism may well explain some of his odd behaviors.

Chris does not recognize the differences between himself and others, and this applies to the differences between himself and neurotypicals - and, seeing no differences, he believes his autism to have been thoroughly conquered, even while embodying every single trait of it.

	Informally, autism may be subdivided into separate classifications based on the intelligence and degree of function the autistic individual possesses; for a general idea, this crude scale could have levels of high-functioning, medium-functioning, and low-functioning. Chris has latched onto this concept and will frequently qualify his condition, saying he has '''high-functioning autism''', or '''HFA'''. Generally, HFA is loosely defined as; the ability to live in the mainstream world as opposed to being institutionalized, having near-normal comprehension, demonstrating fluent speech, and possessing average or above-average intellect. This presents Christian with an easy scapegoat and alibi: he cannot be blamed for his own failures because he has autism, but he does not accept treatment or advice for his "medium" or "low" level autistic traits because he's ''high-functioning'' and therefore, nearly normal. Chris believes he can do much more than any low-functioning autistic could, even as he lived with [[Barbara Chandler\|his mother]] well into his thirties, has never had a real girlfriend, failed to hold a steady job for more than a few months, and [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS\|soils his pants]] on a semi-regular basis.<ref>[[Mumble 3]]</ref>		Informally, autism may be subdivided into separate classifications based on the intelligence and degree of function the autistic individual possesses; for a general idea, this crude scale could have levels of high-functioning, medium-functioning, and low-functioning.

	[[Trolls]] have often noted that the "high-functioning" qualifier is '''not''' a clinical diagnosis and is '''not''' recognized by the {{w\|DSM-IV\|DSM-IV-TR}} or the {{w\|ICD-10}}.

However, the Chandlers didn't make the "HFA" label up, and compared to autistics who can barely speak and just walk in circles all day, Chris is relatively close to neurotypical; he can talk, drive, write and draw, [[Speech impediment\|even if]] [[Chris and art\|he's not]] [[Son-Chu#Distracted driving\|the best]] [[Chris and writing\|at these things]]. A major argument against the HFA label is that Chris himself allegedly stopped speaking at the age of one and didn't speak again until he was seven.

	Chris has built much of his identity around his high-functioning autism. His terror of being associated with severely autistic people causes him to be overly eager to prove his basic competence and cite his success in primary and secondary education. At the same time, his pride from accomplishing these things in spite of his disability has conditioned him to demand outrageous praise for his slightest efforts and infinite patience for his gravest errors. Moreover, Chris's belief that the entire Greene County Board of Education continues to irrationally persecute him for his autism has left him suspicious of opposing points of view and resolute that anti-autistic prejudice is the reason for any of his setbacks.

			'''Autism''', also known as '''autism spectrum disorder''' ('''ASD''') is a neurodevelopmental disorder and the lens through which [[Christian Weston Chandler\|Chris]] experiences the world.

	Chris was diagnosed with the disorder in his early childhood (at a time when far less was understood about the disorder), and it became a cornerstone of his identity and influence on how he would act, alongside potentially other undiagnosed psychological or neurodevelopmental disorders. It should be noted that Chris's autism is not reflective of the experiences that most people with the disorder have, but since Chris has consistently pointed to autism whenever he does something wrong, and we have no way of knowing what other disorders Chris may have without access to his medical documents, this article serves as good a place as any to discuss the nature of Chris's neuroses, whether they are tied to autism or not.

	One of the biggest symptoms of autism Chris displays is his fear of and resistance to change, well beyond the point that it could be even related to his autism~~. His fear of change was further amplified by his elderly parents own fear driven inertia, that is typical for elderly people from their generation~~. Chris is reluctant to get or even look for a job as he has only worked [[Chris's resume\|four months in his entire life]], never came close to moving out [[Affair with Mother\|until he was absolutely forced to]], has a very hard time selling or giving up his toys or shirts, has never stuck to a [[Chris and health\|diet and exercise program]], [[Attraction Sign\|doesn't try new ways to attract women]], and has a very hard time coping with his banishment from his favorite [[the GAMe PLACe\|hangout spots]]. His proven tendencies to avoid responsibilities and self-improvement show that he has a very hard time moving on from his childhood lifestyle (where he had no obligations other than school), or simply fears failure of all types.

	Chris thinks in absolutes and in terms of clearly defined steps in order to do something. He thinks there must be sex on or by the [[third date]]. He describes his sadness in terms of his '[[heart level]]' and briefly mentioned a [[Scale of Respect]]. He feels that if he just knows the correct steps to getting a [[sweetheart]], he will be able to find one easily. His [[dating education\|crash-course in dating]] and [[Dating\|suggestions to Blanca]] assume that a relationship should follow a rigidly predetermined progression instead of a natural flow. In an [[Jackie E-mails 23\|exchange of e-mails with Jackie]], Chris responded to her frank descriptions of his habits and lifestyle by saying she had exceeded the "Hurtful Truth Level"; while he knows he should be appreciative of hearing the truth about himself, this was the only way he could wrap his brain around the abstract idea enough to be able to tell her he thought she'd gone too far.

His [[dating education\|crash-course in dating]] and [[Dating\|suggestions to Blanca]] assume that a relationship should follow a rigidly predetermined progression instead of a natural flow. In an [[Jackie E-mails 23\|exchange of e-mails with Jackie]], Chris responded to her frank descriptions of his habits and lifestyle by saying she had exceeded the "Hurtful Truth Level"; while he knows he should be appreciative of hearing the truth about himself, this was the only way he could wrap his brain around the abstract idea enough to be able to tell her he thought she'd gone too far.

	Informally, autism may be subdivided into separate classifications based on the intelligence and degree of function the autistic individual possesses; for a general idea, this crude scale could have levels of high-functioning, medium-functioning, and low-functioning. Chris has latched onto this concept and will frequently qualify his condition, saying he has '''high-functioning autism''', or '''HFA'''. Generally, HFA is loosely defined as; the ability to live in the mainstream world as opposed to being institutionalized, having near-normal comprehension, demonstrating fluent speech, and possessing average or above-average intellect. This presents Christian with an easy scapegoat and alibi: he cannot be blamed for his own failures because he has autism, but he does not accept treatment or advice for his "medium" or "low" level autistic traits because he's ''high-functioning'' and therefore, nearly normal. Chris believes he can do much more than any low-functioning autistic could, even as he lived with [[Barbara Chandler\|his mother]] well into his thirties, has never had a real girlfriend, failed to hold a steady job for more than a few months, and [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS\|soils his pants]] on a semi-regular basis.<ref>[[Mumble 3]]</ref>		Informally, autism may be subdivided into separate classifications based on the intelligence and degree of function the autistic individual possesses; for a general idea, this crude scale could have levels of high-functioning, medium-functioning, and low-functioning.

	[[Trolls]] have often noted that the "high-functioning" qualifier is '''not''' a clinical diagnosis and is '''not''' recognized by the {{w\|DSM-IV\|DSM-IV-TR}} or the {{w\|ICD-10}}.

However, the Chandlers didn't make the "HFA" label up, and compared to autistics who can barely speak and just walk in circles all day, Chris is relatively close to neurotypical; he can talk, drive, write and draw, [[Speech impediment\|even if]] [[Chris and art\|he's not]] [[Son-Chu#Distracted driving\|the best]] [[Chris and writing\|at these things]]. A major argument against the HFA label is that Chris himself allegedly stopped speaking at the age of one and didn't speak again until he was seven.
