Chris has a troubled relationship with psychology. He claims that he was held down by the school psychologist at grade school while his screams were recorded, and was forced to see a psychologist for anger management classes after being kicked out of Piedmont Virginia Community College. Chris currently refuses to see a psychologist, opting to see a pastoral counselor instead.
The Problem(s) with Chris-Chan
Chris claims to be autistic, homophobic as a genuine phobia, and to have Noviophobia, a made-up phobia of boyfriends. The rest of the human race believes that he's got wa-a-a-ay more than autism to worry about, but beyond speculation, there's no way anyone can know if Chris's brain is garlanded with healthy chunks of the DSM-V or if he's merely a gullible idiot with a terrible upbringing and worse personality (and autism). There is ample speculation as to what Chris has, but until he gets some professional attention, it remains speculation. Which leads to a larger problem...
Professional Help?
One of the most frustrating elements of Chris is his adamant refusal to take help from any source. About the only authority figure he listens to is Rocky Shoemaker, his pastoral councilor; he claims that he has no need for psychotherapy because his pastor is better at helping him than anyone with, you know, years of training and experience in helping people with psychiatric problems. It seems Chris only acknowledges his personal flaws if 1) they get him pity or 2) he announces that he's beaten them already. Notice how often Chris claims to have won the battle over autism, only to fall back on "I have autism!" as an excuse. Similarly, he wrote Nintendo Power to tell them he conquered Noviophobia, only to say later that his fear "came back like a boomerang."
Chris refuses to get help because he doesn't think he needs any. Regardless of how blatantly stupid his actions are, regardless of how often trolls (including a 13-year-old) trick him into doing horrible, horrible things, regardless of how any mental health worker worth his salt would pin Chris down like a butterfly to get a chance to crack open his impenetrable shell of Fail, Chris will carry on as usual, justifying away everything that would inconvenience him even slightly.
