I don't know much about Chris Chan, but I do know he's autistic or severally mentally ill or something, and that complicates matters.

You're correct, he was born autistic with parents who conceived him when they were past the prime years of procreation (his father was in his late 50s or early 60s while his mother was in her mid 40s). They refused to get him help when he was in school because they had backwards views on mental illness programs thinking they were akin to insane asylums and didn't understand what autism actually was. So Chris went his whole schooling life with not much help to deal with his condition and couple that with his parents who were too old to deal with him and didn't really discipline him enough when he was a child played a part in why he is the way he is.
