Chris Chan is the most documented person on the internet apparently and has previously stated that they have HFA(high functioning autism) however looking at their behavior I see them more as mid functioning. For those aware of them, how would you classify their level of functioning? And can any of you relate to their behaviors?

I've been aware of Chris since I was like 11. lol

I don't really have any comments on her level of functioning. I relate to some aspects of her upbringing, but I didn't "turn out" how she did so I don't relate to her behaviour much. A lot of her behaviour seems to be due to mental illness instead of just autism.

I am "aware" of him/her to some extent.

He is more interesting as a social phenomenon than as a person in my opinion because he has become the first "village idiot" of the "global village". The Truman Show movie come to life. A human trainwreck that everyone on the Net either gawks at, or tries to ignore.

Its astounding to someone like me (who grew up in the 20th century) how someone without fame (ie is almost never mentioned in print, nor on radio nor on TV) can be so famous (ie known to billions around the globe) simply because of the Net.

But I am not super 'up' on the latest about him/her, nor the details of his/her mental disorders.

I know that he is supposed to autistic, and at some point had a sex change, or something.

I'm aware of him to a point. I can't really relate to many of his behaviours.

No recall at all. My closest match is Chris Craft, the boat manufacturer.

I've been following Chris. I think people have been cruel to him/her, very cruel. I think Chris is mid functioning and seems a bit delusional on account of the letters Chris sent from jail.

Yes. He is a "lol cow" for a whole...subculture on the Web. As I understand it.

If he had a way to monetize all of the attention (good, and bad) that he gets- and money went to getting him mental health support then...I wouldnt mind folks laughing at him (if they could pay him for the privilege).

I do in passing curiosity.

And no, I don't relate to that person's autism, lifestyle and interests or circumstances.

As a person -- nope.
Unless my desire to keep things to myself (including special interests, any existing passions and expressions, let alone identity) is non-existent, along with my sense of pride and shame and standards...


If this particular autistic had real support, she could've been better than me in more ways than one and actually been "HFA".
But nope. Her circumstances are screwed up.

The way I see it, it's not just the autism. Not at all.

the ease of which he was tricked into doing unwise things again and again, would point him away from being high functioning. Im pretty convinced he is not HFA. But he is not screaming randomly so he is not low functioning.

I saw Chris letters from jail where he talks about being Jesus and other spiritual delusions so...

So he is not just autistic. He is batshit crazy!

I think he is just low IQ with autism.
