He won’t be back to baseline because his life will be the same:
—no friends
—can’t stay in an intimate relationship
—no job
—bad father
—no skill or trade
—fired from previous jobs
—no prospects
Sometimes I wonder whether Matt could possibly suffer from more than just autism. This frantic display of extreme behavior makes me wonder whether he is having some sort of psychotic episode. Studies show that there is strong evidence for the existence of comorbidity between autism and psychosis:
Kincaid DL, Doris M, Shannon C, Mulholland C. What is the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder and ASD traits in psychosis? A systematic review. Psychiatry Res. (2017) 250:99–105. doi: 10.1016/j.psychres.2017.01.017Moreover, some studies show that up to 34.8% of the patients with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum disorder can show psychotic symptoms:
Chisholm K, Lin A, Abu-Akel A, Wood SJ. The association between autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a review of eight alternate models of co-occurrence. Neurosci Biobehav R. (2015) 55:173–83. doi: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2015.04.012But fuck do I know, I just like to read the American Journal of Psychiatry while taking a shit.
Either way, I don't have a problem with Matt. It hurts me that he attacks my people, as I have family that were in the holocaust, but I also know this is his neurodevelopmental disorder at play. If he only realized that those same Jewish brothers and sister pictured in that makeshift burial ditch had/have no direct impact on the Jews of power that he references (the likes of the Rothschilds), he'd realize that most every-day Jews are just like him, just pushing through all the madness that life has to offer, trying their best to cope with a shitty reality...He might then, ease up on the throttle.
