I'm a 28-year-old, unemployed, high-functioning autistic male who lives with his parents and isn't Chris. Regretfully, I follow Chris because of similarities I perceive between him and me. Thankfully, those don't include his idiotically negligent lack of insight into our condition. I've been, like I feel he is, painfully anxious about talking to other people socially to the point of [[Wikipedia:Selective mutism|selective mutism]]. Until I was 18 or so, I couldn't go into stores alone. It took me another five years or so to be able to use drive-throughs. I got into my first romantic relationship six months before my 28th birthday and had sex for the first time five months later. I'm reaching a [[Wikipedia:Technological singularity|singularity]] of sorts in that I've suddenly started to date regularly and generally socialize somewhat normally, but one of the things I've learned is that I have to pick my battles and really focus on a relatively small number of people in a relatively small number of settings. I'm volunteering and actively seeking a job. I expect to be gainfully employed and living on my own within a year.

I'm not saying this because I think it's important for people on the CWCki to get to know me personally. I'm saying this because it's been a long, hard, intentional slog for the past 10 years, full of spectacular and crushing failures. I think it's really easy for people to say Chris is just an asshole, but he isn't. He's an asshole who's lost in the woods without a compass and the only people he can get on the radio are telling him to climb the trees and hang from the limbs. Chris should be mocked and derided for failing to live up to his meager potential, but he should also constantly be told what he's got to do to stop it. He and everyone should understand that it's not going to stop overnight. He hasn't been online for a while. Hopefully somehow that'll be the beginning of something. —[[User:Thepicklesuitintheman|Thepicklesuitintheman]] 20:58, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
