'''Autism''' is a spectrum of neurological disorders involving the impairment of social interaction and communication.  Informally, autism may be subdivided into separate classifications based on the intelligence and degree of function the autistic individual possesses, although these subdivisions are not recognized by the [[Wikipedia:DSM-IV|DSM-IV-TR]] or the [[Wikipedia:ICD-10|ICD-10]].

[[Christian Weston Chandler]] has built much of his identity around having '''high-functioning autism''' (HFA), which is vaguely defined as the ability to live in the mainstream world as opposed to being institutionalized, near-normal comprehension, and about-average intellect (although it isn't actually a formal clinical diagnosis but a grade of severity).  As such, he tries to have it both ways: you can't blame him for his shortcomings because he has autism, but you can't treat him like he's mentally handicapped and [[slow in the mind]] because he's ''high-functioning'' and therefore, nearly normal; he didn't want to be in special ed because he isn't slow-in-the-mind, yet he expects every single teacher he comes in contact with to have an expertise understanding in autism spectrum disorders. He perceives bias against autistic people (read: HIM, he doesn't care about anyone else) everywhere, and assumes anyone opposing his will hates him for his mental condition and are playing "everyone's favorite game, [[Kick the Autistic]]."

While Chris has not shown his mastery at composing titillating pieces of literature as often as he has astounded us with his artistic skill, he has nevertheless shown what he has been capable of through his outlandish webcomic, several ill-guided blogging attempts and multiple short pieces of fiction and poetry.
