Wow, that's well thought out, nice to see others who are fascinated by CWC on a psychological/social level as opposed to just the lulz.

Although I gotta point something out, while "High Functioning-" is not an official diagnosis, it is used in the psychological/psychiatric realm as sort of a modifier/qualifier, basically meaning: "This person has [x] but [x] does not keep them from being mostly normal" ... it's not an ''official'' term, but there is legitimate usage of it. A true High Functioning Autistic would probably be that weird guy in your office who has his pens all arranged by color and length, and is building a fort out of printer paper boxes in the lunchroom, but the guy fills out TPA reports like nobody's business. Chris is clearly NOT high-functioning, however, but we knew that. - [[User:Needlepants|Needlepants]] 06:11, 29 August 2009 (CEST)

* Thanks for your feedback! You're right about the HFA-part, but this was originally meant by me to be in an article somewhere, so that part was formulated a bit stronger than it should be. From my professional experience I can say that HFA is somewhat of an unofficial addition to the DSM that is used in practice but has no theoretical basis yet. --[[User:Hayate666|Hayate666]] 21:42, 29 August 2009 (CEST)

No prob.

I'm getting the feeling you might know more about this than me. :) Most of my knowledge of psychology comes from personal experience or what I've learned in college ...mostly through my communication courses, where we learn how evil advertising people implant jingles into your brain, haha. I should probably stick more to the social/communicative aspects of CWC (such as the Sonichu comics)

Your case for him having some form of Narcissistic disorder is pretty good, and it lines up pretty well with what we've seen of him. I forget if narcissism is the 'untreatable' one, or was that histrionic disorder? - [[User:Needlepants|Needlepants]] 00:19, 30 August 2009 (CEST)

* Well, thanks again. It's in my line of work to know of such things. Untreatable is kind of a funny term in psychiatry. Both disorders are equally hard and frustrating to treat, since narcissism and histrionic disorders are two of ten possible kinds of personality disorders. Personality disorders are more often considered untreatable than "regular" psychiatric diseases and/or developmental disorders, like depression, an anxiety disorder or even autism. This is because they're not really illnesses, but more of a fundamental twisted form of personal growth. The sufferer of a personality disorder doesn't and can't realize his behaviour is strange, because it's completely natural for him to behave that way. It's about as different as a regular tree with a fungal infection or a tree that was twisted daily since it was a sapling to become some kind of grotesquely disfigured tree. You can never really bend the tree straight again, while a fungal infection is far easier to treat. Chris belongs to the category "twisted tree with a fungal infection" as far as I'm concerned, but without official testing we'll never know for sure. Hope that the metaphor wasn't too confusing, it's kind of hard for me to translate this subject matter accurately into English. --[[User:Hayate666|Hayate666]] 02:32, 30 August 2009 (CEST)

I liked this page, it was a fun read. <3 Then again, I am a sucker for stuff that deconstructs Chris's life. [[User:SirCucumber|SirCucumber]] 03:29, 24 September 2009 (CEST)
